NABCO Entrances has introduced a new “touchless” sensor for automatic slide doors, that activates the door with a wave of the hand. The Acuwave can also be used on non-swing or non-fold side of swing and folding doors. The new sensor, the Acuwave, was developed for access areas with heavy cross-traffic like sidewalks and hallways, where the chance of unnecessary door activation is high. The Acuwave is also an excellent solution for restrooms, clean rooms, operating rooms or anywhere bacteria can be spread by manually opening the door. The Acuwave’s ability to prevent unnecessary door opening cycles helps keep conditioned air inside the facility saving energy.

Gyro Tech® Develops Acuwave Touchless Sensor

NABCO Entrances has introduced a new “touchless” sensor for automatic slide doors, that activates the door with a wave of the hand. The Acuwave can also be used on non-swing or non-fold side of swing and folding doors. The new sensor, the Acuwave, was developed for access areas with heavy cross-traffic like sidewalks and hallways, where the chance of unnecessary door activation is high. The Acuwave is also an excellent solution for restrooms, clean rooms, operating rooms or anywhere bacteria can be spread by manually opening the door. The Acuwave’s ability to prevent unnecessary door opening cycles helps keep conditioned air inside the facility saving energy.

According to Larry Grassmann, V.P. of Sales and Marketing, “We expect sales of the Acuwave to be strong in the healthcare market. This new technology is certain to increase safety and convenience for healthcare workers and patients. The energy-saving feature is an added bonus.”

The Acuwave sensor is mounted to the header of the door and utilizes an active infrared beam to detect a hand approaching the “Wave Hand” sticker. In stand-by mode, the detection pattern is reduced to a small area in front of the sticker to prevent unnecessary door activation.

When a person waves his or her hand in front of the ""Wave Hand"" sticker, the door opens and the detection area increases to cover a full 84"" x 59"" (when mounted at the standard height of 84"") and reverses door closing action if another pedestrian enters the detection area.

The Acuwave ""Touchless"" sensor is a header-mounted sensor that was developed to respond to a voluntary hand motion within the detection area. By using the reflected light of an active infrared beam, the Acuwave will detect your hand approaching the “Wave Hand Here to Open Door” sticker and activate the door.

NABCO Entrances has added access control hardware to its line of automatic doors and accessories. The offering includes access controllers, card readers, proximity readers, key fobs and biometric readers.

Wind, rain and snow are no match for the GT 1175 Whisper Slider from NABCO ENTRANCES INC. Designed for challenging conditions, the GT 1175 is a fully automated access system that offers ""whisper-like"" operation and dependable performance. The GT 1175 is suitable for single and biparting door configurations to accommodate virtually any door opening. Controlled by a Universal Microprocessor, the GT 1175 provides consistent and reliable door operation, day-in and day-out. The microprocessor also provides important usage counts and diagnostic features for quick trouble shooting and reduced maintenance costs.

When you need a wide open entrance but your space is limited, the GT System 1400 blends swinger and slider door technology to meet all your needs. The door's unique folding feature provides a much larger opening than competitive sliders, while dramatically reducing sweep when compared to traditional swing doors. Product Features: Creates a large opening while dramatically reducing door sweep; Ideal for interior or exterior applications; Comes with adjustable door speed, finger protection and locking options; Multiple size options available for unique applications.

The GT System 300 works all day, handling your heaviest pedestrian traffic and you won't even know it's there! The system's new equipment options enable a user to individually tailor the construction and operation of a door to meet specific needs and budgets. Product features: Door control package meets ANSI standards for mats, Acusensor or ACUGARD sensor packages. Mechanical operator provides smooth operation with the microprocessor controllers. Attractive flush arm when the door is closed. The door is supported by heavy-duty pivots on the top and bottom of the door frame instead of on the operator shaft, allowing for convenient servicing without having to remove the door.

Activating Devices: Acuvision Sensor System: The new Acuvision Advanced Learning Sensor System is NABCO's most advanced sensor! It provides door activation and continual presence sensing coverage throughout the door activation cycle. The Acuvision has the unique ability to react to all moving objects and exclude the door by memorizing the slide, or swing path, of the door. It continues to detect approaching objects on both sides until the door is fully closed.

NABCO Entrances has added a new door mounted sensor for low energy doors to its Acugard line of swing door sensors. The NABCO Acugard 3 LE has been designed as an affordable way to add extra pedestrian protection to low energy swing doors. The Acugard 3 LE is a bar type sensor that can be mounted on the approach side of the door to prevent it from closing on slower moving traffic, such as the elderly or handicapped, until they are through the entrance and completely out of the path of the door. The Acugard 3 LE can also be mounted on the swing side to stop the door from opening in the event that someone is in the swing path while a pedestrian is approaching.

In the healthcare field, large access areas are required for the trouble-free transport of beds gurneys and other medical equipment, especially in intensive care and cardiac-care units. The new GT 2100, GT 2125 and GT 2150 Manual Sliders have been designed to allow users to stack the sliding door and swing panel to one side allowing full opening access. Heavy-duty rollers and standardized parts make this series extremely reliable and very easy to maintain.
