There has been a long period of evolution in the development of barrier systems: wireless reading devices were added, biometric processes introduced and user data managed digitally. However, barrier systems ultimately remain housings made of steel plate that allow access to authorised users.
We are now switching our attention to revolution with the FlowMotion® series and completely redefining security in buildings. We no longer view access control systems as simply artificial security mechanisms but rather as integral components of buildings.
The hallmarks of our FlowMotion® pedestrian barriers are the extremely slimline silhouette, soft contours and flowing lines. The slimline design fits harmoniously into every installation location – whether highly frequented access points to leisure facilities and sports centres or the discerning architectural worlds developed by companies, public authorities and cultural institutions. The lighting on the base underlines the delicate design and makes orientation easier, while the lighting elements also provide users with feedback about the throughput process and the validity of their access rights. Lights indicating the direction of passage mean that users understand the direction in which they need to go at first glance.
The MHTM™ drive unit – which has been tried-and-tested more than 100,000 times – ensures particularly comfortable throughput thanks to its sensitive sensors. It is not only maintenance-free, energy efficient and quiet but has also been designed to achieve an extremely long service life encompassing 10,000,000 opening and closing cycles.
Magnetic also has a lot to offer in terms of building integration: The barriers can be easily integrated into the building control system and building system technology thanks to the Ethernet interface, numerous connections and wide range of functions. In contrast, the base frames are physically integrated into the building: By installing them onto the unfinished floor, it makes the installation process and laying the cables much easier.
