An automatic sliding door, or sliding door automation, is designed to open and close automatically upon detecting an obstacle. These doors are prevalent in office buildings, commercial centers, factories, and various other public spaces.
They function using an obstacle detection sensor that triggers a control unit, which then activates a motor to operate the door. The door typically slides along rails or guides positioned at the top or sides. There are mainly two types of automatic sliding doors: hydraulic and electric. Advanced models may feature additional functionalities like automatic stop, sensor-based operation, and programmable open/close settings.
These doors offer enhanced safety and convenience by eliminating the need for manual operation and enabling easy, wide access. However, it is important to be aware of potential hazards like stopping directly in front of the door, collisions, and malfunctions that could temporarily disable the door's automatic features.
