Today, let's discuss the types of gate operators available and delve into their pros and cons.
Three-Roll Gate
【Advantages】
The system is highly effective in ensuring single-person, single-visit access, allowing for enhanced safety and reliability.
2. Cost-effective.
3. Highly resistant to water and dust, with excellent environmental adaptability, suitable for both outdoor and indoor use.
【Weaknesses】
The passage width (referring to the width that allows pedestrians to pass) is relatively narrow, generally around 500mm.
2. Relatively slower throughput speed.
3. Due to the restrictions of the barrier body's shape, it is not suitable for passengers carrying luggage.
4. The appearance lacks versatility, with most styles lacking aesthetic appeal.
5. Mechanical and semi-automatic three-roll gates experience mechanical collisions during the operation of the gate rods, resulting in significant noise. In contrast, fully automatic three-roll gates do not have this issue.
Paddle Gate:
【Advantages】
The width of the passage is one of the largest among all gates, typically ranging from 550mm to 1000mm, with some high-end models reaching up to 1500mm. It is particularly suitable for pedestrians carrying luggage or bicycles, as well as for individuals with mobility challenges.
2. The bridge-type swing gate, compared to the three-roll gate, features an added pedestrian traffic detection module, which effectively identifies passing targets and has stronger anti-following capabilities.
The塑性of appearance is strong among all turnstiles, featuring a wide range of materials for the barrier body and diverse shapes for the cabinet, making it easy to design extremely aesthetic forms. Consequently, it is commonly used in office buildings, smart buildings, clubs, and other venues.
4. The gate swing operates without mechanical collisions, resulting in low noise levels.
【Shortcomings】
Costs are higher, particularly for customized models with special features, such as wider channels and gates made from special materials, which also increase the technical difficulty significantly.
2. Some models lack sufficient waterproof and dustproof capabilities, being suitable only for indoor use. Their environmental adaptability is not as robust as that of the three-roll gate.
Due to the limitations of the barrier shape, the impact resistance of the swing gate is lower than that of the three-roll gate, and illegal rapid passage by pedestrians is prone to damage the swing and the core mechanism.
4. Poor design by manufacturers can significantly reduce product reliability and the ability to prevent personal injury from pinch and collision protection.
Yi-Zha:
【Advantages】
The throughput speed is among the fastest of all turnstiles.
2. The channel width is between that of a tri-roll gate and a swing gate, typically ranging from 550mm to 990mm.
The design is aesthetically pleasing, and the闸翼 material is quite diverse.
In emergency situations, the shutter flaps retract quickly into the housing, conveniently forming a barrier-free passage to enhance traffic flow and facilitate pedestrian evacuation.
【Weaknesses】
The control method is quite complex and costly.
Insufficient waterproof and dustproof capabilities.
The appearance is rather monotonous with limited malleability.
4. Due to the limitations of the barrier's shape, the wing gate's impact resistance is lower than that of the three-roll gate. Illegal breakthroughs by pedestrians can easily damage the wing and the core mechanism.
5. High technical requirements for manufacturers are necessary to ensure product reliability and prevent potential personal injury by avoiding jamming capabilities if the design is not well-executed.
Sliding Gate
【Advantages】
The security is enhanced due to the larger surface area of the barrier, effectively preventing pedestrians from climbing over or under it to gain illegal access.
2. The appearance is extremely aesthetically pleasing.
3. High throughput, similar to wing gates.
4. The passage width is between that of a tri-roll gate and a swing gate, typically ranging from 550mm to 900mm.
In emergency situations, the shutter flaps can quickly retract into the housing, conveniently forming a barrier-free passage to enhance throughput and facilitate pedestrian evacuation.
【Drawbacks】
The control method is relatively complex and costly.
2. Insufficient waterproof and dustproof capabilities; generally suitable only for indoor use. If used outdoors, a canopy is mandatory.
3. The appearance is rather monotonous, with limited malleability.
Turnstile:
【Advantages】
The full-height turnstile offers superior security among all gate systems, enabling unattended operation.
2. It can effectively implement single-person passage, meaning only one person can pass at a time, offering high safety and reliability.
3. It boasts strong waterproof and dustproof capabilities, excellent environmental adaptability, suitable for both outdoor and indoor use.
【Drawbacks】
The channel width is generally around 550mm.
2. The throughput speed is relatively slow.
Due to the restrictions of the barrier body shape, it is not suitable for travelers carrying luggage.
The product's aesthetics are limited, with most designs lacking visual appeal.
