Turnstile rotation test

Turnstile rotation test

Our turnstile subjected to rotation test

Our manufacturer Turnstar carries out various tests on their turnstiles, including this rotation test. During Mark and André's visit to the factory, they were able to witness these rotation tests.

Rotation testing is an essential procedure to ensure product quality and durability. These tests examine whether turnstiles continue to function properly after a significant number of rotations, similar to the daily load of actual use situations. With this, Turnstar aims to ensure that turnstile revolving doors can withstand heavy use without affecting overall performance. In this video, we have captured such a testing process so that you too can take a look behind the scenes at the factory.

To carry out this testing process, the turnstiles are placed in a specially designed test stand. This allows, without human intervention, the gates to rotate. This simulates that continuous persons would pass through these turnstiles. 

During and after the testing process, parameters are closely monitored with the aim of verifying that all mechanical components of the turnstiles, such as rotating parts, bearings and joints are resistant to wear and corrosion that can occur with prolonged use. These factors are monitored to determine if any irregularities occur or if adjustments are needed to optimise performance.

Testing the turnstiles under realistic conditions helps ensure that they meet Turnstar's strict quality standards and continue to function reliably throughout their lifetime. All in all, therefore, this rotation test is an important step in the quality control process, ensuring that Turnstar's access control products can stand the test of time and continue to deliver top performance, even after prolonged and intentional use. This enables Turnstar to market only the highest quality products that meet rigorous standards. 

As Geran Access Products B.V., we are proud partners and European suppliers of several access control products from Turnstar.
