Sensors
Door sensors play a crucial role in the automation of door systems and the safety of door operation. These sensors are placed on industrial doors to ensure precise control, safe movement and effective safety mechanisms.
Safety sensors
A key element are sensors for obstacle detection or presence detection, which are used to prevent collisions with objects or people. These sensors are often equipped with advanced technologies such as infrared, ultrasound or radar and enable the door opening to be monitored. These include safety edges, Light curtains, photo eyes, Area scanners or modern 3D laser scanner systems. As soon as an obstacle is detected, the sensor sends a corresponding signal to the door control unit, which stops or changes the door movement to prevent potential damage.
Activation sensors
Activation sensors are used to automate door movement and optimise the integration of the door into goods flow processes. These sensors detect an approaching object, such as a forklift truck or lorry, and open or close doors as required at the right time. Particularly worth mentioning here are radar detectors, induction loops or IR sensors.
The integration of sensor technology in industrial doors not only contributes to safety, but also enables efficient and precise control of door operation.

Sicherheitssensoren
Ein zentrales Element sind Sensoren zur Hinderniserkennung oder Anwesenheitserfassung, die dazu dienen, Kollisionen mit Objekten oder Personen zu verhindern. Diese Sensoren sind oft mit fortschrittlichen Technologien wie Infrarot, Ultraschall oder Radar ausgestattet und ermöglichen eine Überwachung der Toröffnung. Hierzu gehören Schaltleisten, Lichtgitter, Lichtschranken, Bereichsscanner oder moderne 3D-Laserscanner-Systeme. Sobald ein Hindernis erkannt wird, gibt der Sensor ein entsprechendes Signal an die Torsteuerung und diese stoppt oder ändert die Torbewegung, um potenzielle Schäden zu vermeiden.
Aktivierungssensoren
Zur Automatisierung der Torbewegung und optimale Einbindung des Tores in Warenflussprozesse, werden Aktivierungssensoren eingesetzt. Diese Sensoren erkennen ein such näherndes Objekt, wie z.B. einen Gabelstapler oder LKW und Öffnen oder Schließen Tore bedarfsgerecht zum richtigen Zeitpunkt. Besonders zu erwähnen sind hier Radarmelder, Induktionsschleifen oder IR-Sensoren.
Die Integration von Sensortechnologie in Industrietore trägt nicht nur zur Sicherheit bei, sondern ermöglicht auch eine effiziente und präzise Steuerung des Torbetriebs.
