Access Barriers

Access Barriers are crucial for enabling security by physically restricting unauthorized entry through mechanisms such as turnstiles and smart doors. These barriers are widely used in various environments, including commercial buildings, industrial facilities, and residential complexes, to ensure controlled access and enhance security. As mechanical operation happens in direct exposure to humans, functional safety is also an important aspect for the design of these barriers. 

The ams OSRAM portfolio offers a range of components that are essential for the development of these barriers. Our IR LEDs, capacitive sensors, and hall effect magnetic position sensors provide reliable and efficient operation, ensuring that the barriers function effectively and safely under all conditions. These components are designed for easy integration, reducing installation time and costs while maintaining high performance and energy efficiency. 
 
Presence Detection, Battery management systems (BMS), Contact Force Sensing, Position Encoding, Functional & Guidance Lighting and Motor Control are important functions to build a complete access barrier system:
