Automation solution for 93 m wide sliding door in shopping center

The opening or closing time would simply have been too long for the 93 m, so the sliding gate was divided into two halves, each of which closes towards the center and opens outwards. Each side is made up of 6 telescopic leaves, each up to 10 m wide.

Another challenge here was the synchronization of the movement of the telescopic leaves. In the event of a fire with simultaneous power failure, the gates close via emergency power.

Safety is always a priority, even in case of emergency. That‘s why, in such a case, the gate stops within 10 cm. Power transmission takes place via chain with a special chain guide.
