Electromechanical Arm Barriers

Arm barriers are an electromechanical devices used in places such as sites, workplaces, parking lots, shopping malls in order to control vehicle entrances and to ensure the security of the field. Electromechanical arm barriers are generally controlled by access control systems such as push button, remote controller, card reader and RFID long range readers, etc. DC and AC motors are preferred in the trigger mechanisms of electromechanical barriers. In systems with DC motors, dry batteries are used to feed the system against possible power failures, and UPS is used in systems which control by AC motors.

Apart from all these issues, the barriers also have a mechanical release mechanism. AC motors used in barriers are of two types; three phases and mono phase. Most barrier manufacturers prefer three-phase asynchronous motors in their systems because of both technical and cost benefits. It is very important to use AC motor driver (frequency inverter is another name of the AC motor driver) in AC motors. While motor drivers enable three-phase motors to operate with a single phase, they also reduce the electricity consumption of the system to a minimum. Other important advantages of motor drivers are the ramp movement of the barrier at the soft start-stop and the adjustment of the barrier speed at the desired value. Photocell and loop sensors are used for safety in electromechanical barriers. With these sensors, both pedestrian and vehicle safety is ensured.

What is a guard booth?

Image
     The purpose of guard booth is that with a security man stays in it which is placed at access points for controlling unauthorised entry and exits.    A guardhouse is a building used to house personnel and security equipment  A guard booth is also used to sentinel around of field at borders.   Guardhouses are not wanted to left without a guard as modern guardhouses have good life area with technologic equipment and comfort.  Some of most important specifications of the security guard booths are 360-degree wantage points, ultimate comfort, insulated rooms, air conditioner, refrigerator, telephone lines, wireless, wardrobe, lighting inside and outside, audible alarms, microphone, loudspeaker etc. Most of guard shelters are made from galvanised steel and heavy duty welded and they are well insulated.  For more information, visit Optima Engineering

Hydraulic Rising Bollards’ Power Unit

Image
  Hydraulic rising bollards are one of the physical security systems that control the entry / exit of vehicles. Hydraulic bollards are generally produced with hydraulic, pneumatic, electromechanical, semi-automatic or manual triggers. In the mechanical body of the bollards, mostly stainless steel is prefering. In this article, information about the power units of hydraulic bollards will be given. For more information, visit Optima Engineering.             The power unit of the hydraulic rising bollards consists of two main elements: hydraulic part and electrical&electronics part. Hydraulic unit includes electric motor, directional valve, hydraulic valve and hydraulic oil. The electric motor in the hydraulic unit is generally AC (Alternating Current) motors. This electric motor is directly triggered by the contactor, which is the switching hyrdaulic cyclinder. This electric motor, which is started with a contactor, is also...

What is tyre killer types?

Image
What   is   tyre killer types ? -They  are mostly preferred as mechanical tyre killer. The spikes/teeth work mechanically.   - Electro mechanically tyre killers are also available which moves the spikes/teeth work via link mechanism  connected with a gear box and  an AC Motor.   - Hydraulic Tyre Killers spikes/teeth raise help of a hydraulic piston. These tyre killers have separate hydraulic power units. The tyre killer and power unit  are  connected  between each of them with hydraulic hoses.   -Flush Mounted Tyre  K illers are installed in a concrete pit. Its main body and mechanism are underground but teeth/spikes are above of road surface.   For more information, visit Optima Engineering How is a  tyre killer mechanism ?   -Tyre killers often use  counter weight mechanisms  to allow the teeth raise again after a car pass on it, but preventing passage in the other direction.   -Some of manufactu...
