🔷 Tripod Turnstile Gate Introduction
Outdoor Card Access Tripod Turnstile Manufacturer 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. STXtek as one of the leading tripod turnstile manufacturer based in Shenzhen, China, we offer multi different models of tripod turnstiles for option.

⚙️ How a Tripod Turnstile Gate Works:
-
Idle State: Arms are locked to prevent unauthorized entry.
-
Authentication: User taps an RFID card, scans QR/barcode, fingerprint, or face.
-
Signal Received: Upon valid access, the mechanism unlocks one rotation.
-
Manual or Motor Drive: User pushes the arm or the arm auto-rotates (semi-automatic or full-automatic).
-
Lock After Passage: The arm resets and locks, ready for the next person.
-
Anti-tailgating: Only one person is allowed per authentication.
