ASK-2-E Automatic Sliding Door Operator
Our own cost-effective, reliable operator for single and bi-parting automatic sliding doors. Supplied to installers across the UK and Ireland and fitted by our own engineers.
Why ASK-2-E
Simple, dependable and built to be fitted and forgotten
Belt-driven brushless drive
A brushless DC motor and gearbox move the leaves along a track on a toothed belt, with opening and closing speeds you can adjust to suit the site.
Monitored safety sensing
Presence sensors watch the closing area and stop or re-open the door if someone is in its path. Force limitation is tested at commissioning.
Flexible operating modes
Auto, hold open and off as standard, with exit only and manual release where configured. Modes are selected by key switch where fitted.
