Applications in Automated Access Control
Pepperl+Fuchs sensors for automated accesses and entrances have a wide range of applications, which we will discuss below.
Industrial doors
Fast door activation using hybrid directional radar and infrared sensors. Underground induction loops with single or double coils for reliable detection of industrial vehicles. Especially for small and large industrial gates, overhead doors, high-speed gates, etc. Employees and goods are always protected in and around the gate-closing area!
Elevators
Light curtains provide access to people without closing the door. Before entering the elevator, precisely adjusted door sensors ensure that the doors only open and close when people are nearby.
Gates & fences
Vehicles must be correctly detected and controlled to ensure good access to gates and other barriers. Various options are available for this if desired.
Revolving doors
Detection sensors for revolving doors make buildings more accessible and protect the most vulnerable members of society.
Escalators
Pepperl+Fuchs automated access control sensors allow escalators to be discreetly activated when people come within a specified proximity.
Barriers
Barriers are used to allow vehicles to enter or not enter. To do this, you need to detect cars. In this way, vehicles can enter reliably, but damage to the barrier that closes too early can also be prevented. Possible solutions include underground induction coils, ultrasonic distance sensors, and safety barriers.
Swing doors
To automate swing doors and detect pedestrians, installing door sensors on top of the doorway is possible. For a more controlled solution, there is the option of door switches that can be operated with the press of a button, completely contactless. This makes swing doors not only more efficient but also more accessible, for example, for wheelchairs.
Sliding doors
Pepperl+Fuchs sensors are designed for the convenient and timely opening of sliding doors and, at the same time, maximum safety for pedestrians.
Hangar doors
Large hangars and large doors: ensuring control and early detection are critical. Vehicles such as planes, cars, and people can be detected so that doors can open and close correctly.
