It is the brain of the door. The control panel is in the main body profile, which corresponds to the top part of the door and the interior.
- Wing Profiles System
The wings consist of aluminum profiles as the main material. The weight of the wings is directly proportional to the performance of the automatic sliding door. For example, the weight of a single wing using 4mm+4mm glass and a transition height of 2200 mm is between 50-60 kg on average. Therefore, automation should be able to carry 100-120 kg wings, considering the double wings.
