What is an automatic door?

In today's societies, security is the first word, so using the door is essential to protect people's lives and property. A door should be installed in every part of the building, which is known as the entrance, to prevent the entry of thieves and act as a kind of insulation against rain and wind. Automatic door, as its name suggests, is a type of door that opens and closes automatically without manual intervention. This door consists of sensors that are sensitive to movement and open and close as soon as people are seen. The first automatic door was built by an Egyptian mathematician in the 1st century AD, and with the passage of time, smart equipment and parts were added to it, and it became the type we see today.

Speed ​​in doing things is very important in the noisy world of gadgets, that's why the electric door replaced the traditional type to provide ease and speed in doing things. Automatic doors can be used in various places such as residential, office, commercial buildings, medical centers, etc. to ensure the comfort and safety of people.

Automatic doors ensure ease of movement for you and all you have to do is stand in front of the entrance and the door will open in front of you. Automatic doors work using different sensors that can detect movement, sound, light and weight. As you know, there are different types of electric doors that can be installed and operated using different sensors. For example, weight-sensitive sensors can be used in some doors, in such a way that these sensors are installed on the floor and the door is opened when a person is placed on a special rubber pad. One of the common methods in this field is the use of motion sensors, the sensors are set in such a way that when moving around certain points, a signal is sent to the doors to cause them to open.

In fact, the automatic door opens when the control center receives an activation signal from the sensor to activate the gear to drive the belt and pulley. Therefore, when the presence of a person is not detected in the desired areas, the door is closed after a certain period of time.

In order to know more precisely what an automatic door is and we describe their division into three categories in terms of performance:

🔰 Electromechanical electric door jack that works by gear and gearbox. In this type of door, it is possible to open and close the door by using a small electric motor.
🔰Pneumatic automatic door that works by gas or wind pressure. The need for monthly service and the high noise of the wind compressor made this type of door obsolete.
🔰Hydraulic automatic door that works by oil and liquid pressure. One of the advantages of this type of door is its very high force and uniform movement to open and close heavy doors; Also, the hydraulic door has the minimum amount of depreciation and will be very suitable for high traffic places.

An automatic door is made up of different parts, therefore it is emphasized that its installation and commissioning should be done by skilled and expert people who are fully familiar with its parts. Some of the automatic door parts are:
