Automatic side folding gate: when and why to choose it.

The automatic side folding gate represents an innovative and efficient solution for the automation of residential and industrial entrances. Designed to optimize space and ensure maximum safety, this type of gate stands out for its functionality and versatility. Let’s find out together its features and advantages.

Why choose an automatic side folding gate?

Side folding gates are perfect for narrow spaces or where the traditional sliding or swing opening is impractical. Their main feature is the opening and closing mode, which allows the gate to fold on itself and take up minimal space laterally. This type of gate is particularly suitable for:

Reduced spaces: Ideal for those with limitations of lateral space or depth.

Security and Design: It offers a combination of robust security and elegant design, adapting to various architectural contexts.

How to make a folding gate?

To optimize the structure and the movement it is recommended to use the KIT Bi-Folding HD. The kit guarantees the maximum precision of the movement, without the use of a truck, allowing the folding doors to reduce overall dimensions to a minimum.

It also offers greater solidity thanks to the reinforced arm which facilitates the opening. These accessories are studied to be quick and easy to install and they can be implemented for openings up to 8 meters.

The Bi-Folding Heavy Duty (HD) kit, being extremely versatile, is also suitable for double installations, reaching an opening of up to 16 m.

What type of automation is recommended to use?

To guarantee maximum performance and safety, it is essential to choose a reliable and specific automation system for side folding gates. The TAU automation systems used for the side folding gate are the series of ARM actuators with rod exit. They are designed to offer:

Reliability:

Powerful and resistant motors, capable of operating in difficult conditions and with intensive use.

Easy programming:

Intuitive systems that allow easy configuration and customization thanks to their control unit. The unit is developed to allow the customization of parameters via the TauApp.

Optical encoder:

Obstacle detection and anti-crushing safety ensured by the optical encoder. The encoder also manages the deceleration in the closing and opening phases and the adjustment of the gate stroke which therefore does not require a limit switch.

Large pillars:

Thanks to the telescopic extension it is able to adapt perfectly to the different dimensions of the pillars.
