Automatic gates, increasingly widespread and used for access to homes and residential complexes, are devices that operate by means of an electric motor and photocells. The latter receive signals and detect obstacles, triggering or stopping the opening or closing of the gate.
Stagnoli Accessories is a company specialising in the manufacture of gate accessories. Our extensive catalogue also includes ARGO, the intelligent photocell for residential entrances with a unique design.
The photocell for automatic gates at residential entrances by Stagnoli Accessories
Photocells are devices installed near the automatic gate. They are mounted perpendicular to the direction of travel to be monitored, and the infrared beam between the two ARGO units (receiver and transmitter) forms a true invisible barrier which, if interrupted by an object (person or vehicle), sends a signal to the connected control unit, which then acts accordingly to prevent a possible impact.
Featuring a pair of photocells, ARGO stands out for its versatility. It can be used on industrial and residential automatic gates, but also in more complex systems such as car parks, loading and unloading areas or any application where the presence of foreign objects needs to be detected. Its mechanical system is simple and effective, while the optical system is adjustable to ensure maximum compatibility with all types of installation, as it can also be mounted on supports that are not perfectly centred.
The ARGO photocell for entrances of all kinds is functional and safe, with an IP65 rating guaranteed by the seal surrounding the perimeter of the electronics, making it perfectly insulated and protected against the entry of insects and water infiltration.
It is also a device to which an anti-vandal protection offered by Stagnoli can be fitted. The AFAPC cover is a satin-finish aluminium cover that protects the photocell from theft and vandalism, while also giving it a more attractive design.
