Electric Swing Gates: How Do They Work?
Electric swing gates, with their seamless automation and sophisticated mechanics, have become a popular choice for commercial and residential property. Electric swing gates are a perfect example of how technology can elevate the everyday experience by making entrances not just functional but genuinely fascinating. These gates are manufactured from durable materials like steel or aluminium, combining robustness with aesthetic appeal. In this blog post, we will discuss the intricate workings of electric swing gates.
The Powerhouse Of Motion
Every electric swing gate system is powered by a compact but powerful electric motor called the gate operator. This motor is mounted on the gatepost, and its job is to convert electrical energy into mechanical motion. The gate operator, which is connected to the gate by a mechanical arm, turns the tedious task of operating the gate into a smooth, automated dance.
Control Panel
The control panel acts as the command centre for the electric swing gate. Within its electronic circuitry, it directs the gate’s movements. Users interact with the control panel to open, close, or pause its graceful swing. We at Automated Gate Solutions can customise the settings of the control panel to give a tailored and secure experience. Like any other electronic system, electric gates require a reliable power source. These gates often include backup power solutions to ensure uninterrupted operation during power cuts.
Safety Devices
A significant concern in electric gates is safety. Multiple safety devices work collaboratively to prevent accidents and ensure the safety of individuals and property. Sensors detect obstacles, photoelectric sensors prevent collisions, and safety edges halt the gate upon contact with obstructions, making electronic gates safe and secure for use.
