Photoelectric barriers for gate systems – more security for your home
Photoelectric barriers are an essential accessory for automatic gate systems. They not only increase safety but also convenience during daily use. Using invisible infrared rays, photoelectric barriers detect obstacles and stop the gate in time before damage or injuries occur.
How do light barriers work?
A photoelectric barrier consists of a transmitter and a receiver. An invisible infrared beam is created between the two. As soon as this beam is interrupted—for example, by a vehicle, person, or animal—the gate reacts immediately: It stops or retracts automatically.
Advantages of light barriers
- Maximum safety for children, pets and vehicles
- Automatic stop when obstacles are encountered
- Compatible with many gate operators
- Easy retrofitting possible
- More convenience when operating the gate
Areas of application
Photoelectric barriers are used in garage doors, sliding gates, and swing gates . They are particularly important in automatic drives to reliably prevent accidents and damage.
Conclusion
With a photocell, you can make your gate system more secure and convenient. Retrofitting is straightforward, and the benefits are immediately noticeable. For both private driveways and commercial facilities, photocells are a sensible investment in security and convenience .
