Building gates & doors applications
Crouzet produces high performance components for Building gates & doors with best in class automation control, motors and switches product lines.
Free access:
Free access control systems (sliding and revolving doors) demand seamless detection and motorization to ensure visitors and operator comfort, ease of use and security. DC brush motors easily control speed, while DC brushless motors allow a smooth movement and security features. Microswitches are used to detect the open/close status of the door, while a PLC allows to control it and monitoring relays protect the system.
Boarding:
DCmind Brushless motors with integrated electronics permit a seamless and reliable motorization of swing gates used for an efficient self-boarding process in a train or an aircraft. Once programmed and connected to the boarding pass or ticket scanner, they play a crucial role in fraud, intrusion and safety management. They can be integrated as stand-alone elements or connected to a network.
Security on departure:
Automated immigration gates accelerate the border control process, both highly security-sensitive and subject to very high throughput. This process requires extremely responsive and reliable open/close management of the swing doors. Linked to the control device and sensors of the system, DCmind Brushless motors with integrated electronics permit custom speed and torque management of the gates.
DCMind Brushless Motors
Restricted access:
Security-sensitive restricted area gates require reliable and responsive operation management. Linked to the gate’s biometric control device, DCmind Brushless motors with integrated drive operate silently and are crucial for security management via programable torque control. DC brush motors easily control the doors speed. Microswitches are integrated in the push button used for actuation or emergency purposes.
Security on arrival:
Anti-return gates that prevent passengers returning back into secure or sensitive areas once customs are cleared require highly reliable and robust motorization solutions. Thanks to electronically controlled torque management, DCmind Brushless motors with integrated electronics allow the gates manager to configure them safely and avoid intrusions or door kicking.
Automatic fare collection:
DCmind Bruhsless motors with integrated electronics allow a seamless and reliable motorization of speed gates made for high throughput, used in subway/metro and train stations for passenger transit with fare collection: swing gate, full panel gates, flap gates. These smart motors, once programmed, play a crucial role in fraud, intrusion and safety management. They can be integrated as stand-alone elements or connected with each other as a network.
Authorized & payable access:
DCmind Brushless motors with integrated controller permit a seamless and reliable motorization of authorized and payable access gates subject to high throughput : swing gates, tripods, full-height turnstiles… Within the operator’s system, the programming of these smart motors is key in fraud, intrusion and safety management. They can be integrated as stand-alone elements or connected to a network.
Station platform screen door:
Platform Screen Doors (PSD) at train or subway stations are safeguards for passengers as they separate the platform from the train. DCmind Brushless motors open and close the doors reliably and quickly, and when equipped with integrated electronics and linked to microswitches, enable to prevent passenger injury while detecting the status of the doors and the torque applied on it by possibly crushed passengers.
Building gates & doors applications
Road blocker:
Road blockers are installed in highly sensitive areas and bollards in cities to manage vehicles access to restricted areas. DCmind brushless motors with integrated electronics enable responsive and high-speed operation and ensure robustness of the device thanks to electronically driven torque management. They can be integrated as stand-alone or connected to a network. A PLC allows their control and monitoring, even in a remote mode.
Rapid Doors:
Rapid doors are used in warehouses and loading bays. They operate quickly, reducing draughts and protecting the internal environment. DCmind Brushless motors with integrated electronics control the door’s speed and support safety management to avoid injuries. Microswitches are used to detect the end travel position of the door while a PLC allows its control and monitoring, even in a remote mode. Control relays protect the system.
Parking barrier:
Automatic Barriers require powerful and resistant motors ensuring reliable open-close operation. They also demand safety functionalities e.g. for pedestrian protection via electronically-driven torque management linked to robust switching elements for position detection of the barrier. Thanks to a PLC, the operator controls and monitors the barrier, and collects operation-related data, even remotely.
Toll barrier:
Toll barriers operate at high speed and require reliable motorization and control solutions to support efficient high throughput and seamless fare collection. DC brushless motors operate the barrier quickly and are integrated as stand-alone or connected to a network. A PLC allows its control and monitoring, even remotely. Position detection of the barrier and safety functions are operated thanks to robust switching element.
