The external automatic sliding door consists of two or more opening doors under which trolleys with wheels are fixed which run on underlying rails incorporated in the frame. The upper crosspiece of the same is configured in such a way as to perform the function of guide for the doors. The doors can both slide in the same direction, overlapping the opening, or in opposite directions, overlapping the fixed part of the frame or the wall itself (see here to discover the various types). The tight sealsthey usually consist of brushes inserted in the appropriate seats on the internal and external side of the door. L ' automatic opening takes place thanks to photocells sensitive to motion . These systems can be adapted as an emergency opening , allowing the mechanically opening with outward rotation of the sliding door, should the electrical mechanism fail. The internal automatic sliding door , on the other hand, does not require the presence of a wall frame, and there are two different types: the external sliding one , which overlaps the wall , and the internal sliding one , which disappears into the wall itself (see hereto discover the various types). In the first case, the trolleys are fixed on the upper crosspiece of the door and slide on a track fixed to the wall and hidden by sheets or panels. The tracks are equipped with an adjustable stop-stroke which is essential for limiting the opening and locking the door when it is open. A pin is fixed to the floor which fits into a special groove in the lower crosspiece of the door to guide its movement. Finally, in the case of the so-called “ retractable ” doors , counter frames with upper guides are mounted inside the walls to allow the sliding of the door. Also this solution provides for the presence of the lower pin to guide the door. Visit our site Vitralux specialist in automatic sliding doors.
