Elevator Door Operator

The Otis Glide A door operator constantly monitors the speed and position of the elevator doors, and compares this data to pre-defined opening and closing profiles. It works like a car's cruise control — you set a particular speed and it adjusts the gas to ensure the car travels at the desired speed.A door operator may be triggered in various ways: Approach sensor (such as a radar sensor in the form of a Gunn diode and Waveguide) – the door opens when a user approaches it. Pushbutton – the door opens when a user presses a button. Push-&-go – the door opens fully when the user begins opening it.The automatic doors in an elevator, on the other hand, are absolutely essential. They are there to keep people from falling down an open shaft. Elevators use two different sets of doors: doors on the cars and doors opening into the elevator shaft.
