FAAC sliding door operators installed at Glasgow airport 
08 February 2010
FAAC sliding door operators have now been installed at three major entry points at one of Scotland’s busiest airport. As part of Glasgow airport’s security upgrade, following the terrorist attack in 2007, FAAC’s 930 electromechanical operator was chosen to replace the existing system at departures, domestic arrivals and international arrivals.
Designed to operate on each occasion and in every environment, the 930 operator is highly reliable without limits on the frequency of use and requires minimal maintenance. Compliant with current international safety standards, the 930 automatically programs opening and closing force and speed according to the friction and the door weight. Its anti-crush technology ensures that the door reopens immediately if an obstacle is detected.
FAAC approved installers, DSS Automatic Doors was originally briefed with the task of replacing the automated door system at the entrance to departures which was destroyed in the terrorist attack. The new system proved so successful that DSS was invited back in September 2008 to install an identical one for the domestic arrivals entry point. A third installation has just been completed for international arrivals.
Group managing director of DSS, John Graham says, “We have been working in partnership with FAAC since 2006 because they continue to utilise the latest technology without compromising on reliability and, most importantly, safety. FAAC invests heavily in research and development and are truly on the cutting edge when it comes to automation systems.”
Suitable for single or double leaves, the 930 operator is easy to install and is available in self-assembly kit form or in made-up complete head sections. Capable of complex programming, dedicated software can allow the management of a number of doors from a central PC. All door activities are monitored in real time by a microprocessor guaranteeing intelligent control at all times. An optional battery back-up is also available for complete peace of mind.
