Automatic sectional doors
Automatic sectional doors are a design for restricting access to an object. It is a reliable protection against uncontrolled penetration, provides comfortable control with an automatic drive.
Description of the design and scheme of work
Automatic gates consist of the following elements:- frame;
- canvas;
- drive.
The shield consists of horizontal metal sections that are not rigidly connected by springs. They have some freedom of movement relative to each other.
Lamellas are produced of the following types:
- single-walled, the cheapest, easy to manufacture, they are distinguished by low mechanical strength and thermal insulation;
- perforated, sections have technological inspection or technological openings;
- extruded, consist of two plates, between which there are stiffeners, have better strength, thermal insulation;
- foam-filled ones are similar to extruded ones, but the interior space is filled with a foamed heat insulator;
- fire-resistant, inside the filling of non-combustible stone wool, have a lot of weight.
Types of automatic sectional doors
Gates from sections with automation , depending on the scope of application , are divided:- models for industrial use;
- fire-fighting industrial gates;
- options for private needs.
They differ in the intensity of work, which means the requirements for operational qualities. Industrial gates are installed in production workshops, warehouses, hangars. They use more durable materials, powerful drives. Much attention is paid to the integration of automation into the general security system of an industrial facility. The aesthetics of the appearance is of minimal importance.
Fire-fighting sectional doors can be installed at industrial facilities for various purposes, both at factories and at modern business or shopping centers. The barrier serves to divide the premises into separate compartments protected from fire.
In a private household, in addition to security, comfort, aesthetics, harmony with surrounding buildings and landscape elements are important.
Switching on and off of the electric motor is possible by pressing analog buttons or remotely using a special remote control. When sensors and other automation elements are included in the circuit, the gates can open and close without human intervention when the car passes a certain point.
Advantages
The growing popularity of automatic sectional doors is explained by their advantages:- Reliability. They are made of high-quality metal on a rigid frame, which guarantees mechanical strength, high burglar resistance. Automation for opening and closing control increases safety.
- Long service life. While maintaining the original declared characteristics, the design has served for decades.
- Comfort. Controlling by pressing a button on the remote requires a minimum of effort.
- Compactness. The canvas moves vertically. When opening, no space is required, as with swing gates.
- Attractive appearance. The materials used, the latest methods of applying decorative and protective coatings provide a huge selection of options. They look harmoniously against the background of any building.
Automatic sectional doors are one of the most modern systems in technical terms. Combines simplicity, comfort of use with reliability, excellent performance. With proper installation, they function flawlessly all year round, regardless of weather conditions. Automatic sectional fire doors are an excellent solution for cutting off premises during a fire and protecting against penetration.
