Swing Barrier Turnstile Barrier
- The main function of the swing barrier turnstile is to manage the orderly entry and exit of the personnel. It blocks pedestrians when the turnstile is not allowed to pass through the gate series. It will open the gate when pedestrians are allowed to pass through.
- The main material of the swing barrier turnstile is usually stainless steel, plexiglass, tempered glass, resin, wood, etc.
- The material selection of the swing barrier turnstile generally needs to consider solidity, can withstand a certain impact force, but its own impact force cannot cause harm to people, the weight should be as small as possible, beautiful, rust-proof and corrosion-resistant, easy to process and fix, and will not hurt people after damage.
Working principle of Swing Turnstile
The working principle of Swing Turnstile is to control the reciprocating swing of the gate bar to achieve access control for people and objects. Swing Turnstile is usually composed of a chassis, a control module, a sensor, a drive mechanism, etc. It can be used with systems such as card swiping, face recognition, and biometrics to achieve multi-mode and multi-directional access control.
01 Receive signal:
The access control system obtains the user’s identity information through devices such as card readers and sends the information to the controller. The controller determines whether the user has access rights based on the user’s identity information and sends the command to the Swing Turnstile motor.
02 Start the motor:
After the Swing Turnstile motor receives the command from the controller, the motor body starts to rotate.
03 Motion control:
Through the reducer and transmission device, the high-speed rotation of the motor is converted into the low-speed rotation of the Swing Turnstile. The limit switch controls the range of motion of the Swing Turnstile to ensure that it moves within the specified range.
04 Automatic reset:
The Swing Turnstile swings 90 degrees each time, and automatically resets after detecting people and objects passing through, or automatically cancels the access rights and returns to the initial position 2 if no one passes within the specified time.
Swing Turnstile identification methods
Swing Turnstile identification methods mainly include face recognition, fingerprint recognition and card recognition. These identification methods have their own characteristics and are suitable for different scenarios and needs.
Face recognition is a popular identification method in the access control Swing Turnstile system. It is based on computer vision technology, collects face images in real time through the camera, and extracts and compares face features to determine whether the person enters legally. Face recognition technology has high accuracy and convenience, which can effectively prevent the impersonation of others and improve the security of the access control system. Fingerprint recognition is another common identification method. Everyone’s fingerprint is unique. The fingerprint information of the person is collected through the sensor and compared with the pre-entered fingerprint library to determine the legitimacy of the person’s identity.
Fingerprint recognition has high security and reliability and is not easy to be impersonated or forged. Card recognition is the most common identification method in the access control Swing Turnstile system. By issuing different types of cards, such as access cards, work cards, student cards, etc., the system can read the cards and compare them with the information in the access control system to determine whether the person has legal access rights. This method is simple and easy to use and is widely popular among the public.
