by Brianna Crandall — January 6, 2016—New access control and related products showcased at the recent Big 5 exhibition in Dubai demonstrate innovative, multifunctional approaches in the field. GEZE, manufacturer of systems for door and window safety with the incorporation of comfort and design that are used in many countries around the world, presented solutions and innovative products to facilitate the mechanisms of some of the most diverse opening- and closure-related scenarios associated with doors and windows.
The range of products comprises automatic door systems, door closer technology, glass systems, systems for natural ventilation and smoke and heat exhaust ventilation in the event of a fire, emergency routes, security technology, access control and building management systems.
The future of doors is multifunctional
GEZE says it uses a multifunctional approach that combines barrier-free convenience, security systems, access control and emergency exit management with outstanding design. One component is the new, powerful swing door drive, the GEZE Powerturn — an example of functional diversity and creative freedom that was honored with the international Plus X Award Innovation Prize.
GEZE showcased the Powerturn in a swing door system with other system components including the electronic motor lock IQ lock EL, the door control unit TZ 320, and the escape door lock FTV 320 for controlling and monitoring emergency route doors as well as an access control system as an Internet-based network solution using biometric identification.
Door system expertise in hospitals
GEZE also introduced two new automatic sliding door systems of the Powerdrive series for high leaf weights and large opening widths for state-of-the-art door systems specially designed for hospitals and healthcare facilities. With the variants Powerdrive Airtight for air-tight clean rooms and Powerdrive Hermetic for use in sterile environments, GEZE is presenting the respective power packs in the form of system solutions associated with complete door systems.
Manual sliding door systems — discreet and powerful
Internal manual sliding doors that are aesthetically sophisticated and compact in appearance with motorized features that enable effortless movement with door leaves of up to 120 kg is now possible with the GEZE Levolan 120 sliding door system. The draw-in damping Levolan SoftStop enhances both safety and comfort.
Free-swing door closers with comfort hold-open function
GEZE also presented the new free-swing door closers of the TS 5000 series and the Boxer variants integrated in the door. The unique comfort hold-open function, a standard feature in the TS5000 series, enables doors to be locked in position and kept open at the end of the free swing. The automatic closing of the door in the event of a fire is not impeded.
Automatic solutions in window technology
GEZE is automating different window elements for a wide range of applications. The company presented the modular RWA range with the intelligent chain and spindle drives of the IQ window-drive series. State-of-the-art integrated control technology makes the drives flexible and network compatible, so that they can be tailored to individual requirements for both ventilation and RWA cases.
