How it works
Choose an inspection mode, then select a floating label or a focus preset to study one assembly. The step band, both chains, the sprockets, the drive train and the handrails all move from one shared speed.
Navigation
- Orbit: drag with the left mouse button or one finger.
- Zoom: scroll the wheel or pinch.
- Pan: drag with the right or middle button, hold Shift while dragging, or move two fingers.
- Inspect: select a floating label, or open Focus under Inspect and choose a preset.
Inspection modes
- Cutaway: removes the near balustrade and skirt.
- X-ray: makes the structure and enclosure translucent.
- Exploded: separates the side assemblies while motion continues.
- Step rig: shows a magnified, separated step assembly.
Keyboard: select the 3D view first; its outline shows that it has the keyboard. Space starts or stops the drive, R reverses it, 1 to 4 select the inspection mode, and Escape releases the keyboard.
This is a dimensionally coherent, generic 30° commercial escalator demonstrator. It represents the principal mechanical architecture and synchronized motion, but it is not manufacturer-certified fabrication or maintenance CAD.
Twin-chain commercial escalator
A continuous band of rigid steps is carried by synchronized left and right step chains. Main rollers carry load on one rail system; offset trailer rollers follow a second rail profile that controls step attitude through the landings, incline and return turns.
