Safety Photocells
Safety Photocells from AZTÖR Automation is the paired infrared transmitter and receiver that stop a gate before it reaches an obstruction. Photocells are not optional. They are the primary safety device on every automated gate we commission. We supply, install, programme and maintain the complete package across the UAE and the wider GCC, so a single team is accountable from inspection to handover.
Every safety photocells installation begins with a free site inspection. We confirm the opening dimensions, structural fixings, power availability, traffic profile and any compliance constraints before a product is proposed — because the wrong specification costs far more to correct after installation than to get right beforehand. Once commissioned, the system is handed over with as-built documentation, operator training and a maintenance schedule.
Because Safety Photocells sits within our Gate Automation range, it integrates cleanly with the other systems we supply — access control, CCTV, ANPR and building management platforms — rather than sitting on the site as an isolated product. Where you already have equipment from another supplier, we work with it: our service teams maintain and repair third-party installations as readily as our own.
