Vertical Access Control Tripod Turnstile Gate S116 Black

🔷 Tripod Turnstile Gate Introduction

Access Control Tripod Turnstile Gate is a mechanical access control gate with three rotating arms arranged in a tripod shape (120° separation). It allows one person to pass through at a time and is widely used in security-sensitive areas like offices, train stations, stadiums, factories, and schools. It serves as a physical barrier that helps control pedestrian flow while integrating with access control systems like RFID, barcode, fingerprint, or facial recognition.

⚙️ How Tripod Turnstile Works:

1. Idle State: Arms are locked to prevent unauthorized entry.

2. Authentication: User taps an RFID card, scans QR/barcode, fingerprint, or face.

3. Signal Received: Upon valid access, the mechanism unlocks one rotation.

4. Manual or Motor Drive: User pushes the arm or the arm auto-rotates (semi-automatic or full-automatic).

5. Lock After Passage: The arm resets and locks, ready for the next person.

6. Anti-tailgating: Only one person is allowed per authentication.
