What does it do?
The safety system reduces risk of injury caused by barrier deployment. Its goal is to assure that a closing barrier never touches a person. Three complementary safety systems provide safe fail-over; should one or two systems fail, the remaining systems take up the slack.
How does it do it?
The system has three parts. A matrix of safety beams (up to 96 safety beams) watches the lane, and will not close the barrier if someone is in the lane near the barrier. Edge pinch sensors on the barriers detect objects near the leading edge of the barrier, and stop the barriers in their tracks if they are about to hit something/someone. Finally, powerful torque-sensing motors deploy the barriers quickly, but with little force; if they strike a person or object, they retract immediately and quickly.
Why should I consider it for my site?
Because your employees and visitors deserve nothing less. And because liability risk is reduced.
Edge pinch sensors are especially important for units with tall door barriers; the edge sensor protects the area above the turnstile housing, where there are no safety beams.
Which models offer it?
All PathMinder turnstiles with sliding barrier doors or barrier wings have standard torque sensors and a safety beam matrix. Edge pinch sensors are optional on all units.
