Full height turnstiles are the ultimate in security and control of foot flow through an entrance/exit point. They provide secure closure of passageways and are well suited for checkpoints where high security and attractive design are equally important.
The Vortex 500 is the ultimate in security as it consists of a double full height turnstile unit which offers trouble-free operation combined with maximum security . This turnstile is reliable and all components are treated for anti-corrosion. Vortex 500 can be used for both internal and external installations and with its imposing stylish design is a valuable extension to access control systems.
The Vortex 500 turnstile can have following drive units:
Electro-mechanical drive unit TE2, TE-NB
Operation of the tripod turnstile is controlled by an electro-mechanical mechanism with following standard features:
• A locking system with electromagnets that prevents two passages in one time
• A self centering mechanism to complete rotation of the turnstile into the home position
• A hydraulic shock absorber to ensure smooth and progressive slowing down operation
• A blocking mechanism that prevents from reverse rotation
Motorised drive unit MT
Reliable and trouble-free operation are the priorities of the Vortex 500 turnstile with motorised drive unit. The standard features are:
• Effective blocking system in combination with motorised drive unit
• Automatically set rotation speed according to a force the turnstile is pushed
• Torque setting option
• High level of personal security achieved by stopping the rotation if an obstacle is detected
• Quiet and smooth operation
• Adjustable speed of rotation
Turnstile variability
Regarding the number of wings on the rotor, there are several different types of the Vortex 500 turnstile:
• 2 wings (angle 180°) - only with MT unit
• 3 wings (angle 120°) - any drive unit
• 4 wings (angle 90°) - only with MT unit
