Motorized Swing Gate Turnstiles
The Madoors USA MDRS-VIP-A-20 Motorized Swing Gate Turnstile is a rotary motorized VIP turnstile system providing the preferred solution for emergency entrance and exit gates, goods entrance and exit gates, VIP and protocol passage gates, wheelchair accessible access control, and general pedestrian traffic management — with a 90cm arm length compatible with international wheelchair standards, compact design, soft and silent passing, automatic emergency free-pass mode on fire, earthquake, and disaster alarms, microprocessor control with digital data output, time-controlled opening and closing, motion-sensing safety stop, and single or double button control. Available in cylinder, glazed, and wide-arm configurations, applicable in shopping malls, supermarkets, fitness and wellness centers, and all areas requiring aesthetic, user-friendly motorized swing gate access control.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
The Madoors USA MDRS-VIP-A-20 operates through a rotary motorized mechanism — the motor drives the swing gate arm in the configured access direction under access control authorization signal. The 90cm arm length conforms to international wheelchair standards — providing the clear passage width required for wheelchair users, mobility aid users, and VIP protocol passage where the longer arm length of the swing gate is preferred over the restricted passage width of 3-arm tripod turnstiles. The longer arm length compared to standard 3-arm turnstiles also eliminates the obstacle that shorter-arm turnstiles present to pedestrians — the swing gate arm is above waist height across its full 90cm length, providing unobstructed leg and body clearance for all users.
The microprocessor control system provides double-sided access management — the turnstile can be configured for bidirectional access control with digital data output confirming passage direction. The digital data output from the turnstile can be transmitted directly to a computer for access logging, traffic counting, and security management system integration.
The emergency mode feature automatically switches the turnstile to free-passing mode on receipt of a fire alarm, earthquake, or disaster alert signal from the building emergency system — the turnstile opens immediately and remains open for the duration of the alarm condition, providing unrestricted emergency egress for all building occupants without requiring manual operation or security staff intervention.
Time control allows the turnstile to be programmed to open or close at specified times — supporting scheduled access management where the turnstile is open during business hours and locked during closed periods without requiring manual operation at each scheduled change.
Motion sensing detects the presence of a person in front of the turnstile during the forward and back motion of the swing arm — automatically stopping the arm motion to prevent contact injury. This motion-sensing safety stop is the critical user protection feature for a motorized swing gate with a 90cm arm sweeping at speed through the pedestrian access zone.
Single button control provides a toggle operation — one button press opens the closed turnstile or closes the open turnstile. Double button control provides separate opening and closing buttons. Both control options are available for different operational preferences and staffing configurations.
KEY FEATURES
90cm Arm — International Wheelchair Standard Compliance
The 90cm arm length conforming to international wheelchair standards is the defining accessibility specification of the MDRS-VIP-A-20 — making it the legally and operationally required turnstile for any access point that must be accessible to wheelchair users, mobility aid users, and other individuals who cannot pass through standard 3-arm tripod turnstiles. The MDRS-VIP-A-20 directly enables ADA and accessibility regulation compliance at the turnstile access control position — providing the controlled passage that standard turnstiles deliver while eliminating the exclusion of disabled persons that standard turnstiles create.
Emergency Free-Pass Mode — Automatic Alarm Integration
The automatic emergency free-pass mode on fire, earthquake, and disaster alarm integration is the critical life safety feature of the MDRS-VIP-A-20 — the turnstile opens immediately and remains open for the full duration of the emergency condition without requiring any operator action. This automatic emergency response directly supports the building evacuation requirement — during a fire or earthquake, every occupant must be able to exit through any available egress point without obstruction. A turnstile that requires manual operation or security override during an emergency creates an unacceptable evacuation delay.
Motion-Sensing Safety Stop — User Injury Prevention
The automatic motion-sensing safety stop prevents the motorized 90cm swing arm from contacting a person detected in the arm's travel path — stopping the motor immediately when motion is detected in front of the turnstile during closing. This safety feature is the essential protection for a motorized swing gate with a 90cm arm — the arm sweeps a significant arc at motorized speed and must be arrested immediately if a person is in the path. Motion sensing directly prevents the crush and impact injuries that unprotected motorized swing gates would cause.
Soft & Silent Passing — Premium User Experience
The soft and silent passing feature provides a smooth, quiet swing arm motion — opening and closing without the mechanical noise and abrupt movement of lower-quality motorized turnstile systems. This soft and silent operation is the quality characteristic required for VIP, protocol, and premium commercial applications where the turnstile user experience contributes to the overall quality impression of the facility.
Microprocessor Control — Digital Data Output & Computer Integration
The microprocessor control with digital data output and direct computer integration provides the access control data management capability required for institutional access control systems — every passage event is recorded, the passage direction is logged, and the data is available to the facility management system in real time. This data integration supports access logging for security management, traffic counting for facility management, and integration with HR and visitor management systems.
Time Control — Scheduled Opening & Closing
The time control feature allows the turnstile to operate on a scheduled open/close program — opening at shift start times, closing at end of business, and providing different access schedules for different days or periods. This scheduled operation eliminates the need for manual turnstile management at each scheduled time change, directly reducing the staffing requirement for turnstile management at regular operating hours transitions.
Bidirectional Microprocessor Access — Double-Sided Control
The microprocessor-controlled double-sided access provides authorization management in both passage directions from a single turnstile — entry authorization on the inward face and exit authorization on the outward face. This bidirectional control allows the MDRS-VIP-A-20 to manage both entry and exit traffic at the same access point without requiring separate turnstiles for each direction.
No Obstacle Design — Longer Arm Than 3-Arm Turnstiles
The swing gate design presents no obstacle to authorized pedestrians — the arm swings away from the passage opening when access is authorized, providing an entirely clear path with no arm at chest height to push against as 3-arm tripod turnstiles require. This obstacle-free authorized passage is the primary reason VIP, protocol, and accessibility applications prefer the swing gate over 3-arm alternatives — the authorized user simply walks through the opening without physical contact with the barrier.
Three Design Variants — Cylinder, Glazed & Wide Arms
The three design variants provide architectural flexibility — cylinder construction for standard commercial and institutional applications, glazed panels for premium transparent design applications where visual connection through the turnstile is architecturally important, and wide arm configuration for the maximum passage width in accessibility-critical applications. This design range allows the MDRS-VIP-A-20 to be specified for any architectural environment from standard commercial through to premium design-conscious facilities.
