Overview
Automatic barriers or "Boom gates" are typically found at parking facilities, checkpoints and entrances to restricted areas. They are also the usual method for controlling passage through toll booths. In some places, boom gates are installed as a traffic calming measure, preventing through traffic, while allowing authorised vehicles such as emergency services and buses to take advantage of the shorter and more direct route.
The PF6000 Automatic Barrier Range
The PF6000 Automatic Barrier range is produced by Parking Facilities Ltd, the leading manufacturer of Automatic barriers in the UK. Our designs use the latest technology to maintain the barriers smooth operation, via an integral Telemecanique inverter driven motor and gearbox drive, which only requires a singe phase supply, providing a smooth consistent operation.
It is controlled by a Telemecanique PLC Control Board, which can be programmed to suit any form of access control requirements, therefore allowing speedy installation and no return visits to modify the programmes.
The power input to our automatic barrier is 230v controlling a three phase motor, hence enables us to offer reliability and high torque. With this control panel and gearbox design, we do not require any springs or counterweights to assist in the operation of the barriers.
Our aluminium externally placed control cabinet has been designed to stand out from the rest. Its sleek looks are achieved by investing heavily into aluminium extrusions, which ensures product longevity, making it look as good as the day it was installed.
