The automation for gates is safe : the gate stops when someone or something passes in front of the photocells;
There are automatic systems for every situation : for example for the home, condominium, or for companies, because the use of the gate is different;

How does the gate automation work?
Let's take an example. Let's pretend you're in the car and it's raining ...
To open the gate, use a remote control (this is the most common method).
When you press, a warning signal is sent to the control unit which communicates with the gate. The control unit is in fact the heart of the gate automation. Without that nothing can work.
The control unit then tells the motor to open the gate, and this finally opens. It seems that the operation took a long time but, in reality, all these steps are very fast.
In summary: how is an automation system for gates made?
Above you can see the example of an automatic swing gate.
The system for opening a gate is made up of a few but very important accessories that must work together and that cannot be missing in an automation system for gates. The main ones for sale online on Windowo are:
Engine
Electric unit
Sensors
Photocells
The motor for gates
The gate motor is directly proportional to the size of the gate . It can therefore be:
Single motor for small and light gates
Double motor for large and heavy gates
If we are talking about a house where aesthetics are important, you can use an underground gate motor. In fact, this is an excellent gate automation system that respects the external appearance.
Photocells for gates
Gate photocells are as small as they are important . They are in fact the eyes of a gate, that is, they see when a person, an animal or an object is passing in front of the gate. If the gate is closing, the photocells send a signal to the control unit which will block the motor.
Photocells are crucial for safety , which we had already seen among the advantages of gate automation. To work, 2 photocells are needed.
The electric control unit for gates
The control unit for gates is the heart of a gate automation kit . The control unit is the brain that receives the signal from the remote control and also from the photocells. The brain then tells the motor to open, close or lock the gate.
