Concealed, quick and quiet – the DRIVE axxent LS from SIEGENIA 

A motorised lift-slide drive that meets the most demanding requirements for functionality and design 

SIEGENIA is expanding the range of options available to fabricators, architects and end users with a new motorised drive for high-end residential and commercial buildings, which also meets the requirements of DIN 18040 for accessibility. The DRIVE axxent LS boasts a powerful combination of style and functionality. The greatest strength of this new solution for lift-and-slide elements, which meets even the most exacting demands when it comes to room comfort, is the possibility of concealed installation in sashes made using any frame material. For the first time ever, this now also includes the slide drive in addition to the lift drive. Unlike before, the DRIVE axxent LS does not require any surface-mounted components that don't match in colour or any extra covers. The result is absolute aesthetic perfection. 

Compact and therefore suitable for slim profile systems, too

Thanks to their extremely compact design, both the lift drive and the slide drive are even suitable for use with narrow profile systems, further accentuating the design. The other features of the DRIVE axxent LS also deliver room comfort. The discreet operating button is visually appealing – the only thing on the element that hints to the fact this is a motorised solution. The function light integrated in the button provides a high level of operational reliability. The significantly reduced lifting time of just under 3 seconds is also particularly impressive, and the sliding action has been significantly improved to minimise noise compared with the previous solution. This makes the DRIVE axxent LS a genuinely convenient solution, as does the practical battery pack menu, which provides access to custom settings. 

Designed for simple fabrication and installation

The DRIVE axxent LS also boasts strengths when it comes to fabrication and installation. This starts with the simple pre-prepared package, which is ordered through the SIEGENIA online shop – with the option of purchasing custom-made thresholds as part of the COMFORT UNIT. Fabricators also benefit from the fast and fail-safe fabrication process, which takes just 20 minutes longer than for manually operated elements. All of the components, including the pre-charged battery pack, are delivered ready for assembly in the exact size and quantity required – all in a single package. Another practical feature is the frame construction, which is identical to that of manually operated elements. This ensures that familiar processes can continue to be used and makes for lean warehousing. 

Installation of the drives and battery pack in the element is also extremely well thought out: at the heart of the system is the battery pack, which is fitted with long-life Li-Ion batteries and is positioned as an extension of the gear. The entire installation process is incredibly simple and can be done without any electrical training. This is only necessary for connecting the 24V system to the building's electrical system.
