Abstract: An arrangement for aligning guide rails includes an installation platform arranged to be movable in the first direction upwards and downwards in an elevator shaft, said installation platform being provided with an apparatus for aligning guide rails. At least two laser transmitters are arranged at predetermined positions in the shaft below the installation platform, each of said at least two laser transmitters transmitting an upwards directed laser beam that forms a plumb line in the elevator shaft. At least two first position sensitive detectors are attached to the installation platform and/or to the apparatus for aligning guide rails and/or to the guide rails, each of said at least two first position sensitive detectors receiving a respective laser beam, whereby the position of the guide rails in relation to the shaft can be determined indirectly or directly.

Abstract: An arrangement includes an installation platform arranged to be movable upwards and downwards in a first direction in the elevator shaft, and two laser transmitters arranged at a bottom of the elevator shaft. Each of the two laser transmitters produce a vertical upwards directed laser plane in the elevator shaft, the laser planes being perpendicular to each other. At least four primary light sensitive detectors are attached to the installation platform so that they are visible to the laser transmitters, each of the primary light sensitive detectors being positioned on a respective side of a rectangle. The position of the installation platform in relation to the elevator shaft can be measured from the hitting points of the laser planes on the primary light sensitive detectors.

Abstract: The invention relates to an elevator guide rail straightness measuring system, for measuring the straightness of elevator guide rails, which measuring system comprises at least one plumb line mounted vertically in the runway adjacent to the guide rail and at least one sensor arrangement to be mounted on a carrier to travel vertically along the guide rail, which sensor arrangement comprises a frame, at least one guide shoe connected to the frame for sliding/rolling along a guide surface of the guide rail, a bias means for placing and biasing the frame against the guide surface, and at least one sensor means for sensing the position of the plumb line with respect to the frame, such elevator system allows easy and exact measurement of the guide rail straightness. The invention also relates to an elevator having such a system.

Abstract: The apparatus includes a stationary part being attachable to an elevator guide rail element at a predetermined height above a joint between two consecutive end-on-end mounted elevator guide rail elements. An elongated measuring frame having an upper end and a lower end is supported from the upper end with an articulated joint at the stationary part. A number of inductive sensors are positioned on the measuring frame, whereby at least a part of the inductive sensors are directed in a first direction being the direction between the guide rails towards a tip of the guide rail elements, said part being further divided into two sub parts so that a first sub part of the inductive sensors is directed towards the upper elevator guide rail element and the rest are directed towards the lower elevator guide rail element. The apparatus further includes a connection board for the inductive sensors, a visualization device, electronics, and a power source.
