NAEC attendees experience KEB’s F5 drives while learning about its next generation of elevator drives.

 
Shakopee, Minnesota, September 19, 2024 – KEB America, Inc., a subsidiary of KEB Automation KG and the North American provider of motion control and industrial automation solutions, will showcase its latest Generation 6 elevator-specific drives at the National Association of Elevator Contractors’ (NAEC) 2024 United Convention and Expo in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

KEB’s elevator and escalator solutions have been a trusted choice in the lift industry for over two decades. With over 150,000 installations, its variable frequency drives (VFDs), regenerative drives, and harmonic filters deliver a smooth, quiet, and energy-efficient elevator ride in small residential buildings and commercial high-rise towers across North America.

The KEB America booth showcases a comprehensive range of elevator solutions, including two F5 drives, six F6 drives, three R6 regenerative drives, and two types of filters (harmonic and EMI). The highlight of the exhibit are three high-power F6 drives, ranging from 75HP to 300HP.

“The NAEC tradeshow has always been a great forum to talk directly with our customers and contractors who use our products every day,” said Tyler Pecha, business development manager at KEB America. “This year’s United Show is extra special since NAEC is celebrating its 75th Anniversary, and KEB is showcasing our Generation 6 drive platform, the F6 elevator drive. We are excited about the F6 and what it means for the industry going forward.”

United Convention attendees are invited to stop by booth 515 to check out the newest developments in KEB’s Gen 6 drives and connect with KEB America’s elevator support and engineering teams. The event takes place from September 23 to 26, 2024.

Tyler Pecha adds, “As we develop the F6 elevator drive, the F5 remains available and continues to be the preferred, proven drive solution. KEB’s commitment to the elevator industry will be on full display and we hope to see you at booth 515.”
