Biometric full height turnstile:

The above provides a detailed introduction to the full height turnstile classification. Usually, full height turnstiles are used in conjunction with biometric devices. Let’s take a look at what is biometric full height turnstile.

Biometric full height turnstile is a kind of common full height pedestrian turnstile gate integrated with biometric devices, so we can call it a biometric full height turnstile. Common biometric devices include fingerprint machines, facial recognition, etc. Currently, the most common biometric full height turnstile is the face recognition full height turnstile. For more details, please check our article: turnstile gate with face recognition

We have a video about biometric full height turnstile, please check:

Of course, the full height turnstile barrier gate can also integrate other ordinary access control systems, such as card swiping, QR code, remote control, etc.

These security solutions include: full height turnstile with card reader, full height turnstile with QR code scanner(QR code turnstile), and full height turnstile with remote control. For more details, please refer to the video at the end of the article.

After years of development, ss full height security turnstiles have also been recognized and promoted by the market. At the same time, with the continuous expansion of the application of some new technologies such as face recognition technology, iris technology, palmprint recognition technology, fingerprint recognition technology, radio frequency identification technology, and bar code recognition technology, the full length turnstile can quickly combine and apply these technologies to achieve more functions. The industry has made remarkable achievements so far, Every technological revolution brings another leap in the industry. Technology can change people’s lives and let us jointly create a safer and better world.

Main Functions:

Due to the particularity of the full body turnstile itself and the limitation of the applicable place, the general people do not know the full height industrial turnstile very well. So what are the main functions and features of full height glass turnstiles?

1. Anti-tailgating, full height turnstile is a mechanical anti-tailgating design that can effectively control one person at a time and prevent tailgating behavior.

2. Anti-climbing and anti-drilling, the full height turnstile exterior structure can form a dynamic closed structure to prevent pedestrians from climbing and entering illegally, which is not the case with other gates.

3. Anti-reverse traffic, when pedestrians enter the passage from the opposite direction of the legal door opening signal and push the full height turnstile gate lever, the gate lever in that direction is locked, and pedestrians are refused passage.

4. Unattended, under the triple defense of “anti-tailgating, anti-climbing and anti-drilling, and anti-reverse passage”, coupled with the appearance of a closed structure that blocks passage and the stainless steel material that is sturdy and not easily damaged, the unmanned operation can be achieved, which is reflected in the high level of security.

5. Accurate positioning, independently developed motor control or electromagnet control algorithms, can achieve precise control and positioning of the brake rod.

6. The operation is smooth and silent, and the rotating rod of the full height turnstile is large and heavy. Driving such a heavy rotating rod is a test of the mechanical structure. If the mechanical structure design is not good enough, the rotating rod is prone to shaking, loud noise, and other situations during operation, which seriously affects the lifespan of the turnstile mechanism.

Mairs full height turnstile has a unique optimized mechanical structure that ensures smooth, non-shaking, silent operation of the turnstile, and ensures the lifespan of the turnstile.

7. Automatic adjustment of center axis deviation is achieved through our self-developed unique soft connection design, which breaks through the technical bottleneck of the industry. Full height turnstiles are mostly installed outdoors, and the outdoor ground is often not flat enough. When the ground is not flat, the central axis will not be vertical and deviation will occur. Even small deviations, after being magnified at a height of about 2.3m, can have a serious impact on the lifespan.

To solve this problem, we have added a soft piston in the movement, which can automatically adjust the deviation of the central shaft, thereby eliminating the impact of the deviation and ensuring the long-term stable operation of the entire machine.

8. Anti-collision, the rotating rod will stop rotating within the specified time when encountering obstacles during the homing process, which not only prevents collision with pedestrians but also damages the mechanical structure. After exceeding the default time, the rotating rod will return to its original position.

9. Automatically open the gate after a power outage, a self-developed mechanical mechanism that can automatically unlock and freely push the rotating rod in case of a power outage, in order to quickly evacuate people in emergency situations and meet the requirements of fire management;

10. A modular design is adopted for the full height turnstile, which is convenient for assembly and maintenance.

11. High compatibility, compatible with various interfaces and access controllers.

12. High integration, capable of integrating multiple supporting systems, to assist in building a three-dimensional management system.

13. The function of fault self-test and alarm prompt, which is convenient for users to maintain and use;

14. Switch button or remote control can be integrated to realize one-way or two-way traffic control;

15. Automatic reset function. When the rod is unlocked, it rotates 120/90 degrees and automatically resets (locking). Or when there is no passage within the specified time, the system will automatically cancel the user’s permission to pass this time and lock it automatically;

16. The full height turnstile gate access mode is optional; One way or two-way traffic (set by the user).

17. The optical working principle is adopted, there is no delay requirement for the input control signal, and the phenomenon of swiping a card for several people is absolutely avoided;

18. The external button can realize the left and right normally open functions;

19. Light reminder, traffic direction indication.

20. The control panel has a counting function and an LED digital display function (optional).

Advantages & Disadvantages:

What are the advantages of full height turnstiles?

Compared with the tripod turnstile gate, it has irreplaceable advantages. The entire full height turnstile machine forms an inherent enclosed channel space, which is commonly used in fields with high requirements for security and order.

The full height turnstile gate can block people from passing freely and prevent illegal entry and exit. The overall structure is solid and durable. With the development of the economy, breakthroughs have been made in various industries and fields, and the full height gate turnstile has also achieved rapid development. So what are the advantages of the full height security turnstiles? Let’s take a look at the following aspects together!

1. The security level of the full size turnstile is the highest among all types of turnstiles. The biometric full height turnstile can prevent unauthorized pedestrians from entering a specific area, ensuring the safety of the area. It’s an access control device that can be unattended in all pedestrian types of turnstiles. The design of the full height turnstile gate is to enhance security performance. If there is no passage within the specified range, the system will cancel this passage permission, and only after swiping the card again, the passage can be allowed to pass again, with a very high safety factor;

When people pass through the full body turnstile, the management personnel use the management authority system to control the ss full height turnstile gate.

2. Stainless steel 304 material, fully capped design, the all-stainless steel rainproof box is novel and beautiful.

3. The personalized installation interface (such as card readers, facial recognition devices, indicator lights, etc.) ensures that the integrated device is simple and convenient to install.

4. Full height security turnstiles can effectively solve the loopholes in the pedestrian access control management of tripod turnstile gates and prevent people from drilling under the rod. Because the switch rod of full-height turnstiles is relatively high, the anti-climbing and anti-drilling effects are relatively good.

5. Strong durability: Full height security turnstiles are generally made of 304 or 316 stainless steel, featuring corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and long service life. The material and structure of the biometric full height turnstile gate have been specially designed and processed, with strong durability, and can withstand long-term use and harsh weather conditions.

6. Silent design, stable performance. The full height turnstile mechanism has an automatically adjustable hydraulic shock absorber. When using the rotary blocking rod, the sound is very low, there is no impact, and the blocking ord automatically decelerates and returns to the center. The surface of the mechanism is plated with yellow dichromate. In case of an emergency, it can quickly evacuate the crowd, form an obstacle-free passage, and Increase traffic speed.

7. Flexible control: The biometric full height turnstile can be controlled through various control methods, such as remote control, buttons, card swiping, face recognition, etc. The full-height gate can be connected to the output signals, buttons, and remote controls of many control devices for one-way or two-way traffic, providing great convenience for users; Personalized installation interfaces (such as card readers, indicator light installation, etc.) ensure that the system integrator’s access control equipment is simple and convenient to install.

8. Prevention of illegal entry and exit, With anti-tailgating function. Can be very effective in achieving a single-person pass, that is, only one person can pass through at a time. After rotating 90 to 120 degrees, it will automatically lock up. Early warning will occur when someone is found following or breaking in illegally; High safety and reliability.

9. When a mechanical failure occurs to the full size turnstile, the system will perform a self-inspection and notify personnel to repair it. During use, the failure recording and repair rates are very low;

10. Easy to manage: The control and management of the biometric full height turnstiles are relatively easy, which can effectively avoid unnecessary disputes and management issues. Intelligent equipment, no need for personnel to watch, automatic control. In case of emergency situations such as power failure or power failure, the rotary brake will automatically open and reset automatically after being powered on;

11. When someone passes illegally or forcibly, the blocking rod will automatically rotate and lock, and will not reset until the external force disappears;

12. Humanized design features. A light indication function is designed on the full height glass turnstile, enabling personnel to visually see the status of the indicator light and guide the passage.

The advantages of the product are described above. Let’s take a look at its disadvantages. If any product has advantages, it must have disadvantages.

1. The passage width(the width that allows pedestrians to pass) is relatively small, generally about 510mm.

2. The traffic speed is relatively slow.

3. Restricted by the shape of the blocking rod, it is not suitable for people carrying luggage to pass.

4. The plasticity of appearance is not strong, and the aesthetics of most styles are insufficient.

5. High power consumption: Full height turnstile gate require constant power consumption to maintain normal operation, which can have a certain impact on energy consumption.

6. The full height gate turnstile occupies a large space, The volume of the full height turnstile gate is relatively large, which is not conducive to transportation and installation, and requires a certain amount of space. Before installation, it is necessary to consider the surrounding environment and pedestrian traffic conditions. Large volume, relatively high transportation, and installation costs.

7. High cost: Compared to other traffic control equipment, the price of full height glass turnstiles is higher. Full height glass turnstiles require advanced technology and more high-quality materials to be manufactured, so the cost is higher. Requires significant investment costs.

8. Installation is more complex: Installation is more complex than other types of access control turnstile gates. Some turnstile manufacturers have more complex designs that require splicing different accessories. Our mairs full height turnstile gate design is simple and easy to install, requiring only a few simple steps to complete the installation, which can be easily completed by ordinary people.

Overall, the full height turnstile gate is a safe, reliable, convenient, and durable pedestrian access control device, but there are also some shortcomings that require selection and use based on actual needs.

Basic Quality Control:

What kind of full height turnstile gate is considered a qualified one? When making an ss full height turnstile barrier gate, we should focus on the following aspects, and also refer to these aspects when purchasing.

1. Firmness and impact resistance:

Full body turnstile needs to be consolidated and impact resistant: the rotating rod and peripheral guardrail need to be consolidated and can accept large destructive force, which is the foundation of security.

2. Safety:

The biggest worry about the full-height turnstile is that the passing personnel are locked in the full-height turnstile gate and cannot enter or exit. In any case (such as sudden power failure), it is necessary to avoid this situation, and these factors should be considered at the beginning of the design;

3. Stability of rotating rod:

The rotating rod of the full height gate turnstile has a large weight and inertia. When the rotating rod is in place, there should be no vibration to avoid unnecessary damage to the audience;

4. Component life:

After the full height turnstile barrier gate is installed, it will rotate continuously, so the moving parts will be worn, so the key parts must be designed reasonably and with very high quality.

The reliability of the full body turnstile is based on the reliability of various components of the gate and the integration method. The basis is to select high-quality components, such as card reader, controller, display, etc; The integration method mainly depends on the planning and selection of control units and communication methods. The existence of lightning protection components is also related to the reliability of the equipment.

5. Gate speed:

For the large flow of full height glass turnstiles, the pedestrian inspection speed is the main goal. Pedestrian speed depends on the control mode of the full height turnstile barrier gate, management system software, and mechanical action speed. Generally, the full height pedestrian turnstiles response speed is within 500ms.

6. Quartz glass:

If your full height glass turnstiles need to integrate with a QR code scanner, quartz glass shall be selected for the contact surface of the bar code card reader: the upper part of the bar code card reader must be clear, and plexiglass shall be selected, which has low cost and is easy to process and install. However, after repeated ticket brushing, the glass will be worn and rough, affecting the reading speed and accuracy of the bar code, so wear-resistant quartz glass must be selected;

Meeting the above six requirements, the quality of the full high turnstile will reach a relatively high standard quality, and you can buy it with complete confidence. All full height glass turnstiles from Mairs meet the above requirements, and we also produce our products according to these high standards. We can also customize full-height turnstiles according to your needs. If you need to customize special full-height turnstiles, please contact us.

Working Principle:

When the full height turnstile gate is in use, as long as a legal signal is given, the blocking rod will automatically rotate forward at a certain angle to prompt pedestrians to pass. After pushing forward, the blocking rod starts to rotate slowly and rotates 120 ° to complete a traffic action. The operation is stable, safe, and reliable, and has a variety of intelligent alarm signals. For the full height security turnstiles with semi-automatic structures, after the legal signal is given, the pedestrian needs to push the blocking rod manually.

The mechanical system of full size turnstile is composed of a chassis and a mechanism. The chassis is composed of a column, guardrail, and upper box. The mechanism is composed of a motor reducer, encoder, electromagnet, and rotating rod.

1. Turn on the power supply of the full size turnstile system, power on the turnstile system for self-inspection, and the system enters standby mode.

2. Pedestrians shall provide legal door opening signals (card swiping and door opening signal of the access control system and door opening button signal of full size turnstile system) to the control motherboard.

3. After the turnstile control board receives the legal door opening signal in the in/out direction, it sends the control signal to the motor board and electromagnet. The turnstile is unlocked in the in/out direction, and the turnstile blocking rod rotates a certain angle in the door opening direction to prompt the pedestrian to push the blocking rod to pass.

4. After the pedestrian passage is completed, the turnstile control mainboard sends control signals to the motor control board and electromagnet. The turnstile gate closes and the system enters standby mode.

5. If a pedestrian enters the passage without providing a legal door opening signal and pushes the rotating rod, the system will lock the rotating rod and prohibit pedestrians from passing.

Sudden power off and on, Mairs full height turnstile gate has the function of automatically opening the gate when power is off, and automatically reset when power is on. After the power is cut off, the solenoid valve will open, the mechanism will be unlocked, and the blocking rod can rotate freely. The same principle, when the full height security turnstiles are powered on, the mechanism will automatically lock, so as to achieve an automatic reset.

Applications Site:

In some specific places, such as some special passages in the station, or places with strict security requirements, such as prisons or gymnasiums, general turnstile gates can not meet the security requirements.

At this time, full-height turnstile will be used for access control management, because full height security turnstiles are the most durable, robust, and high-level security access control equipment, it is suitable for unattended places with high-security requirements, as well as some outdoor places with harsh environments, such as sports places, construction sites, prisons (Institutions), airports, office buildings, factories, scenic spots, stations, etc.

Community: In order to strengthen the safety management of the residential area, a full-height turnstile gate is installed to prevent unauthorized personnel from entering through card swiping or a face recognition system, so as to ensure the safe management of the residential area.

Park: The flow of people in and out of the park is large and complex, so it is necessary to swipe the card to manage the personnel. Then, in the case of unattended, how to realize the automatic management needs the help of the function of full height turnstile gate. Because its tall size can meet the travel requirements of authority, it can also prevent the drilling and climbing of unauthorized personnel.

Exhibition hall: The management of indoor gymnasiums and outdoor gymnasiums is to provide people with a good sports environment, so it is a good choice to set up pedestrian gym turnstiles. Generally, swing turnstile gates and flap barrier turnstiles are used more in indoor environments. For stadiums and Gymnasiums in outdoor environments, the installation of full height glass turnstiles at the entrance and exit is the first step to setting up a security defense line. Through this high and large security turnstile gate, docking with an intelligent system, unattended automatic management can be realized, So as to effectively ensure the safety of the venue and promote the construction of a smart gymnasium.

Factory: Many large enterprise factories engaged in special industries have many strict control areas to prevent the passage of non-enterprise or non-regional staff. In order to prevent drilling and climbing and prevent property loss, it is necessary to install unattended full height pedestrian turnstiles at the passage of this large enclosed space. In this way, the full height industrial turnstile has become a simple, safe, and effective traffic manager.

Office space: business buildings, government agencies, prisons, construction sites, etc;

Science and education units: colleges, institutions, research institutes, libraries, museums, science, and technology museums, etc;

Living place: residential unit, community, apartment, etc

Transportation station: bus station, railway station, wharf, etc

Commercial service places: supermarkets, shopping malls, hotels, clubs, banks, and so on.

Full height turnstile types:

According to the rotating rod angle, it can be divided into:

90 Degree full height turnstile 

120 Degree full height turnstile

90-degree full size turnstile is a kind of full height pedestrian turnstile in which the blocking rod can rotate 90 degrees. The 90-degree full body turnstile has four blocking rods. Every time the personnel recognizes and passes, the blocking rod rotates 90 degrees, so we call it a 90-degree full body turnstile.

120-degree turnstile is a kind of full height pedestrian turnstile gate in which the blocking rod can rotate 120 degrees. 120-degree biometric full height turnstile gate has high-cost performance, and its name is familiar and easy to understand. When people pass each time, the blocking rod rotates 120 degrees and then locks automatically. In this way, the personnel passes through the cycle.

So what is the difference between these two types of full height glass turnstiles? First of all, from the most appearance, we can directly see that each row of the rotating rod of the 90-degree full size turnstile is one more than that of the 120-degree full size turnstile. Therefore, in terms of materials, the price of the 90-degree full length turnstile equipment is slightly expensive.

This refers to the chassis of the full length turnstile. What’s the difference inside? Some customers may have questions. If I purchased a 120-degree full size turnstile before, now I want to change it to 90-degree full length turnstile. Is this feasible?
