Millimetre accuracy
Stops exactly level with each landing: more comfort and no step at the car entrance.
LIMAX absolute positioning
An absolute sensor on the car roof and a coded magnetic tape along the full height of the shaft: the QI Touch controller always knows the exact position and speed of the car.

How it works
- 01
The sensor
Mounted with its box on the car roof, it reads the magnetic tape continuously.
- 02
The coded tape
A stainless-steel tape, coded along its whole length, stretched from top to bottom of the shaft.
- 03
The tension
A spring keeps the tape taut; a safety contact monitors its presence.
- 04
The controller
The QI Touch receives the car position and speed and controls stops to the millimetre.
The advantages
Position always known
The system is absolute: the car position is known at all times, including when power is restored.
A simpler shaft
No magnets or switches to fit on every floor: a single stainless-steel tape, tensioned once, and a shaft cam.
Controlled speed and travel
Measuring speed and travel gives smooth starts and slow-downs.
Quick commissioning
Floors are recorded from the QI Touch controller; fine adjustment is done on screen.
Safety
Mechanical limit switch and inspection are kept, in addition to the sensor.
An asset for modernisation
On an old lift, the magnets, vanes and switches fitted on every floor are a frequent cause of breakdowns. LIMAX replaces them with a single tape: fewer parts in the shaft, fewer adjustments, and accurate stops even on an existing installation.

The complete electrical package, in stock: for our lifts, for the mechanical equipment of your choice or to modernise an existing lift.
Learn more →Controllers
The controller is the heart of the lift: it drives the machine, the doors, the signalling and every safety device. We work with Sodimas and Edel, and their connected solutions.
Learn more →Modernisation
Replace the controller, wiring and signalling of a lift in service with a complete Sodimas electrical package, in stock. On request, we also supply a motor matched to the installation.
Learn more →Machine-room-less lift
The whole drive sits inside the shaft: no machine room to build, quiet operation and lower energy use.
Learn more →Lift with machine room
The geared machine sits in a technical room above the shaft. A robust, proven solution that is easy to maintain.
Learn more →QI Touch
The lift controller designed and made in France by Sodimas. It drives the machine, doors, signalling and every safety device, and is the standard controller of the Residential Pack and our lifts.

What happens after a power cut?
The system is absolute: the car position is known as soon as power returns, with no re-referencing trip.
Are magnets still needed on every floor?
No. A single coded magnetic tape replaces floor magnets and switches; the shaft cam, mechanical limit switch and inspection are kept.
Is LIMAX supplied with the Residential Pack?
Yes. The sensor, tape and bracket are part of the standard pack.
