What Is a high pressure Turnstile?
Turnstile gates with card readers provide security staff and management teams with accurate data on venue usage to aid analysis or capacity planning, while managing crowds more effectively by requiring strict entry authorization requirements and thus helping prevent overcrowding in spaces with strict entry authorization policies.
Full-height high pressure turnstiles resemble revolving doors in that their barriers extend from the floor up to seven feet high, making it harder to jump over or bypass them. They’re popular choices in locations which demand strong levels of security protection such as unmanned facilities.
What is a Turnstile?
high pressure turnstiles are electro-mechanical barrier gates that use identity verification, signal transmission and traffic detection to manage entry of authorized people into secure spaces. Gates may feature physical barriers like retracting arms or arm doors or optical beams for detection while complex logic systems distinguish between authorized and unauthorized entrants. Additional features of turnstiles may include alarm systems which activate when someone attempts to pass without scanning credentials or attempts to force open the gate during entry.
Turnstiles are used to control access into commercial buildings, offices, hospitals and many other kinds of facilities. Some types of turnstiles require a security guard to authorize entry; other models automatically allow entry based on identification methods like proximity cards/badges or biometric features like retina scans or fingerprint readers. Turnstiles may also be integrated with building management technologies like access control, surveillance cameras and HVAC and lift destination controls for seamless control.
Your choice of turnstile will depend on both your specific needs and the architecture of the space where it will be installed. While some models are designed with modern aesthetics in mind, others may require more durable construction for outdoor environments or high security situations, like military bases and prisons.
No matter which model is chosen, all turnstiles contain similar features, including:
Frame: The outer frame that stands firmly on the ground to block entry of anyone passing through. Gate arms or doors: Some models feature gate arms which rotate or swing open to allow authorized people entry while other feature movable arms or retracting gates. Control modules: These devices receive signals from sensors built into a turnstile which detect credentials, prompting it to open up when signaled by sensors installed within it and trigger its gates.
Most high pressure turnstiles are designed to either fail-safe (sometimes known as fail-lock) or fail-secure upon a loss of power, with fail-safe models automatically unlocking and opening upon its return, while fail-secure models remain locked until someone manually authorizes exit through them.
Optical Turnstiles
The optical turnstile uses multiple sensors to detect movement and verify credentials presented for passage through its barrier gates, and is typically employed in high-security applications where increased security and faster passage speeds are desired – such as government facilities, corporate buildings, airports and entertainment venues.
When someone presents valid credentials, the optical turnstile signals the barriers to open and allow one person to pass before locking back again quickly. Additionally, this system features anti-tailgating capabilities designed to notify security staff of unauthorized entry attempts such as tailgating, collusion or forced passage.
These types of turnstiles are becoming increasingly popular as they provide a high level of security without the need for constant manned monitoring, making them ideal for corporate lobbies, health clubs/gyms and university campuses. Furthermore, their sleeker design means less obstruction from entry control solutions while providing more security at once.
Optic turnstiles provide access only to authorized users, but also offer many other advantages, including:
To select an optical turnstile suitable for your application, consider factors such as:
Waist-High Turnstiles
Waist-high high pressure turnstiles feature tripod barrier arms that rise up to waist height when presented with valid credentials or tickets, making them popular choices in stadiums, large indoor spaces, transit stations and subway entrances. Specifically designed to engage high traffic engagement levels, these robust turnstiles include features such as anti-tailing to prevent people from trying to sneak through behind others who have entered before them as well as detect piggybacking, which occurs when two or more individuals attempt to pass through simultaneously using different credentials or tickets.
Multiple lanes of automatic arms are often installed to control entry and exit for large groups of people, with their arms programmed to open or close at predetermined times – perfect for public areas that require traffic regulation. They’re equipped with sensors that notify staff if unauthorized entry attempts occur – further strengthening security capabilities.
high pressure turnstile gates are designed to allow just one person through at a time when someone presents credentials or tickets, then close back up securely afterwards so no more people can pass. They can be integrated with various card reader systems as well as biometrics or token systems for identity verification; when combined with surveillance systems they may even act as electronic deterrents against potential thieves by tracking and recording their movements and patterns.
Turnstile gates can be tailored to the requirements of various environments, from corporate lobbies to industrial sites and recreational facilities. Turnstile gates can also help ensure compliance with ADA regulations by being fitted out to accommodate individuals with mobility issues; some even feature printed logos on their arms for an extra luxurious touch and brand recognition!
No matter your security goals or requirements, our experts at ATS can find you an ADA-compliant turnstile or full-height security solution that fits seamlessly into your existing infrastructure.
Full Height Turnstiles
Full height turnstiles provide the highest level of security, offering a floor-to-ceiling barrier against unauthorised entry. Used commonly in prisons, data centers, military compounds and other high-security environments due to being impossible to bypass by climbing over or crawling under them, full height turnstile gates are designed to rotate 120 degrees and can be configured either one or two-way depending on their application requirements.
These gate systems are designed to work alongside other security system components, including card readers and biometric scanners, to detect and reject false inputs such as simultaneously swiping multiple cards at once or scanning one while it remains inside someone’s pocket or bag. Furthermore, these gates can detect counterfeit or altered cards to prevent their use altogether.
These gates not only offer superior levels of security but also come equipped with many other advantages. Unlike traditional turnstiles, full height models require less space and can be installed easily on-site at minimal costs and maintenance expenses. Furthermore, these gates can withstand even extreme weather conditions without incurring costly repair or replacement expenses.
When selecting a full-height turnstile, be sure to look for one made of strong materials with an aesthetically appealing design. Furthermore, ensure the product you purchase comes from a reputable manufacturer with a long history of reliability – customer reviews and references may help. Furthermore, inquire about technical support services or whether it offers warranties and product testing before making your choice.
Be sure to consider your facility’s space and layout when determining the ideal type of turnstile for you. Make sure there is enough room to install a large security barrier, and assess its effect on traffic patterns before considering your budget and initial and ongoing costs associated with purchasing and using one.
