​Detailed Guide For The Maintenance of Automatic Sliding Door

The automatic sliding door are assembled more and more in the modern buildings like the shopping mall, bus station, airport, banks, public buildings etc., bring the big convenience to all of us, on the other hand, because of the constant operating day and day, most of mechanical parts and electronic parts are severely worn out, that's also the reason why the automatic sliding door need periodic maintenance . The guide below will explore the importance of the maintenance for automatic sliding door, provide practical tips and suggestions from the rich experiences which accumulated by TSTC .

Importance of Automatic Sliding Door's Maintenance

Automatic sliding door is a complex system with lots of components working together at the same time, any component damaged will bring the malfunctions of the complete door system, so the periodic maintenance is very important and will be helpful to the topics as follows.

▪ Ensure Safety. Malfunctioning automatic sliding doors could bring safety risks to the users, potentially causing injuries to the users, and regular inspections and maintenance could help us to identify and rectify potential dangers.

▪ Enhance Performance. Periodic maintenance ensures smooth and efficient operation of the sliding door, preventing disruptions and improving users' experience.

▪ Improved Energy Efficiency. Automatic doors could help us to maintain the building's energy efficiency by controlling air exchange between indoor and outdoor spaces. A poorly maintained door that stays open too long or fails to close properly can increase heating and cooling costs, however, the regular maintenance could ensure door's open and closes efficiently, helping us save on energy bills. Automatic doors is a little big investment, the preventative maintenance could help protect this investment. 

▪ Extend Service Life . Maintain the system in a timely manner before it becomes unusable could extend the service life of the automatic sliding door, delaying the need for costly parts' replacement.

▪ Comply with Regulations. There are safety regulations in some areas to govern the automatic doors. Regular maintenance could ensure the compliance and avoids potential legal issues.

Key Components of Automatic Sliding Door

▪ Motor and Gearbox . Our motor and gearbox could meet American and European standard with Rated Power 100W, maximum drive Power 150N, could make the door opening speed range from 0.4 to 0.7m/s and door closing speed range from 0.3 to 0.6m/s .

▪ Control Unit . Our MCU assembles 32 digits Chip with faster processing speed, more input /output interfaces, easy to expand extra functions. 

▪ Radars/Sensors.  They could be provided with different shapes and color, BEA and OPTEX brands, microwave type, normal detective radar, Presence &Induction radar.

▪ Nylon Durable Rail. It's our patent part which was made of nylon specially, compared with aluminum rail which used most by other brands ,the nylon durable rail possess the advantages like self lubricating, less noise and more wear resistance.

▪ Control Panel . Our Control Panel (also called PSA by other brands) was adopt module design,combination of normal operation ,maintenance and parameters setting .With this control panel, there is no need to open the Cover when setting the parameters or changing the running mode .

▪ Electro-mechanical Lock. They adopt Bi-static working mode which could remain the same status before and after power failure.

Practical Tips and Suggestions

▪ Regular Cleaning . Clean the door surfaces, sensors and supporting rail regularly to remove dirt, dust, and debris that may affect performance, we can use the soft cloth and mild liquid, avoiding corrosive chemicals that could damage the parts.

▪ Lubrication.  Apply lubricant to the frequently operated components, like motor, gearbox, carriage wheels, tension wheel, to reduce friction and wear, ensuring smooth operation .

▪ Sensor Inspection and Calibration. Check the alignment & sensitivity of the sensors/radars . Clean the lenses to ensure they are free from obstructions. If needed, calibrate the sensors to ensure accurate detection.

▪ Battery Replacement (If assembled). Check the battery regularly , to replace them with the new ones if the old ones damaged, to ensure the sliding door could be run normally when power failure.

▪ Professional Inspection and Maintenance. After the installation of the automatic sliding door, we should schedule periodic inspections and maintenance which will be executed by qualified technician, the details including the identify potential problems and make necessary adjustments or repairs.
