Turnstiles have long been widely used in various industries and fields of human activity. Their purpose is to control the flow of people, regulate entry and exit, and control access to unwanted visitors. Turnstiles are installed at checkpoints in business buildings, industrial enterprises, state institutions, stores, schools, banks, hospitals, public transportation, universities, hotels, sports halls, establishments, entertainment facilities, and other venues. They can be part of an access control system or operate independently.
Advantages and Benefits of Turnstile Types
Turnstiles have low energy consumption, allowing you to use voltage that is safe for people. The number of turnstiles needed for the quick and convenient passage of people is determined based on the throughput capacity of a particular model.
- Turnstiles can operate as standalone devices or as part of access control systems;
- Includes a control unit or a control panel mounted on the stand;
- There are models for outdoor use (under a canopy);
- High performance;
- Bidirectional access control;
- Includes remote control;
- Visual indication for permission/prohibition of passage;
- The turnstile can be unlocked with a key in emergency situations;
- Emergency unlocking command;
- Unauthorized access sensor with alarm;
- Smooth rotation of the bars back to the regular position after each passage.
Mode and Method of Operation
The modes of operation are set using the remote control or via a command from the system.
- Single passage in one direction;
- Free passage from one side;
- Single passage in both directions;
- Free passage in both directions;
- Closed (no passage in either direction);
- Gate mode (pull and stop for incoming inspection) for full-height models.
To this type of passage control devices, we can also add mechanical gates. They can be combined with access control readers and become an important part of an access control and time management system. Interestingly, they can be manufactured in different sizes according to customer needs. Turnstiles as an access control element can be part of an integrated security system.
The latest market trends show an increased demand for turnstiles with glass doors that open by sliding. The price of these turnstiles is higher, but they have greater throughput efficiency and a stylish design.
The turnstiles offered by VAiOS are among the most effective access control products for business buildings, stores, public buildings, and many others. Their main purpose is to control the flow of people entering and exiting a specific building. A mandatory technical requirement for turnstiles is to have an emergency mode, in which they automatically open in extreme situations to avoid obstructing the flow of evacuating people. Turnstiles can be mounted on the floor or the wall. Our installation teams can advise you on the correct installation method for your specific case.
