Our Drive Solutions
Since the 1980s, DICTATOR provides innovative automation solutions for doors and gates. For this, our main focus has always been the requirements of our customers.
The customer specifies what he needs, which is why we don’t have a “standard solution”.
Our operator systems are largely modular, which means we can resort to a very wide range of components, such as different motor sizes, gearboxes, drive gears, etc.
The result is an individual, custom-made solution.

Single-source solutions
We support our customers throughout the project regardless of the application – from the initial design through installation all the way to the CE marking of the whole system.
Project planning
In the best case scenario, we get involved in the planning at an early stage. But we also develop fitting automation solutions for doors/gates that are already installed. We analyze the requirements and draw up a specification sheet together with our customers and in compliance with all applicable regulations.
Design
For more complex requirements, we can develop a custom automation solution based on our modular operator range.
If the customer has 3D drawings of the door/gate system, we can incorporate our components into the customer‘s design.
Security
Especially when it comes to the Machinery Directive, “safety” is a top priority and is always a challenge, particularly in applications with pedestrian traffic. But our customers are not alone in facing this challenge.
We provide all-in-one solutions including all necessary safety modules.
Installation
We gladly support our customers with any questions during installation, commissioning and acceptance and provide assistance with maintenance and repair work.
If desired, we can also carry out the installation of all DICTATOR components.

Door automation solutions
Durable solutions for industrial applications
Products used in manufacturing facilities must be absolutely reliable and fit exactly to the respective application for operations to run seamlessly. That‘s why we always take into account the conditions on site and develop solutions together with our customers to maximize productivity.

Reliable solutions for commercial applications
In commercial buildings there is usually high foot traffic and thus doors and gates are constantly used.
As a result, they not only have to meet high security and fire safety requirements, but also work reliably so that customers don‘t have to stand before a closed door.

Our production sites
The parts and components for our operators and control systems are manufactured in our own production facilities. These are family-owned and are part of the DICTATOR Group. Each of those sites is dedicated to specific areas of our product range.
Experience, state-of-the-art technology and flexibility in the manufacturing process enable us to produce even in small volumes, which, in turn, serves as the basis for individually customized solutions.
