Automatic doors in offices and shops can be an important safety feature. Let’s see the accessories and types.
Automatic doors are increasingly popular in professional environments, because they offer a level of control and security that goes far beyond traditional manual doors. The most common ones are of the sliding type, with one or two doors.
The automatic sliding doors open laterally, sliding on guides and offering a wide opening and great comfort. They are perfect for spaces with limited space or high traffic flow, such as mall lobbies or offices with large numbers of employees. Sliding doors can be equipped with motion sensors to detect people’s presence and open automatically, making access smooth and safe.

Photocells
Photocells are one of the most important accessories to guarantee the safety of automatic doors. But what exactly are they and what are they for?
Photocells are like a pair of alert eyes that constantly monitor the area around the door. These are devices that create an invisible beam of light between each other and detect when the beam is interrupted. When someone or something crosses the beam of light, the photocells send a signal to the automatic door to stop it or reverse its movement, ensuring maximum safety of use.
Photocells can protect people from accidents. Think of a situation in which the automatic door is closing, but someone is still in its path: without photocells, the door would continue to close with the risk of obstructing passage or even causing damage to the person crossing it.
Look at the VDS catalog and discover all the photocells present.

Microwave Sensor
Microwave sensors cause automatic doors to open when you approach and close when you walk away. These are devices that use high-frequency radio waves to detect the presence of people or objects in the surrounding area.
The functioning of these sensors is quite simple: radio waves are emitted by the sensor and propagate in the surrounding space. When these waves encounter a solid obstacle, such as a person or vehicle, they are reflected and picked up by the sensor. The sensor interprets the return of the reflected waves as the presence of an object or a person in the area and activates the opening of the automatic door.
Microwave sensors are very effective because they can detect movement even through glass walls or doors, making them very versatile in different environments.

Touch sensor
It is a remote switch that can be activated by touching it and is indicated for all those situations in which it is necessary to control the opening and closing of the door in semi-automatic mode.
It is an electronic device that controls the activation of an appliance without the need for mechanical pressure. It can respond to a light touch and blends in with interiors or exteriors, elevating the comfort of use.
An example is the use made of it in hospitals or in public offices.
