How to open an automatic gate in seconds

Opening and consequently closing an automatic gate in just a few seconds is everyone's dream. 

There are several reasons why our gates require a high speed. The first is certainly security. Closing the gate quickly provides us with that sense of security that once we have entered with our car, especially at night, no one can break in.

Very often the solutions are rather extravagant, there are those who, in order to speed up the gate, use pinions with different toothing that increase the speed but only mechanically, not electronically.

The problem in fact consists not only in sending the gate fast but also in stopping it correctly, so if I increase the speed of a device only mechanically but then it is not designed to stop correctly, what do you want to happen? Have you ever tried to ride a 'supermarket' bike downhill at 60Km/h and then try to brake. Well don't do that the result would be disastrous.

Returning to automations, the solution for sliding gates is called SPEEDY and SUPER SPEEDY, our two motors that can open a 3-metre gate leaf in 8 and 5 seconds respectively. But how do they do it?

They are specially designed to be fast, so the electronics support this type of movement, braking and slowing appropriately without jerking or stopping abruptly.

Another fundamental characteristic of a fast motor is speed regulation. In fact, while it is true that a motor can go at maximum speed, it must always be adjusted according to various parameters: length of the leaf, weight, number of openings. So electronics that allow adjustment of all these parameters is essential.

Our SPEEDY and SUPER SPEEDY motors have very sophisticated electronics that allow such adjustments.
