Frequently Asked Questions About ASO Safety Solutions

What are ASO safety edges?

ASO safety edges are pressure-sensitive safety devices designed to detect contact with moving equipment, such as automated gates, industrial doors and machinery. When pressure is applied to the safety edge, the system sends a signal to stop or reverse the movement, helping to prevent injury and damage.

Where are ASO safety edges used?

ASO safety edges are commonly used on automatic gates, sliding gates, garage doors, industrial doors, barriers and other automated systems where protection against crushing or trapping hazards is required.

Why use ASO safety products?

ASO Safety Solutions are known for their safety technology, robust construction and ease of installation. Their products provide a dependable solution for installers looking to improve the safety of automated access systems and comply with modern safety requirements.

How do ASO safety edges work?

ASO safety edges use a pressure-sensitive profile that detects physical contact. When the edge is compressed, it activates a safety signal that communicates with the control system to stop or reverse the movement of the equipment.

Are ASO safety edges suitable for gate automation?

Yes. ASO safety edges are widely used in gate automation applications, including sliding gates, swing gates and industrial access systems. They help provide additional protection for pedestrians, vehicles and equipmemt around automated gates.

Can ASO safety products be installed on existing systems?

In many cases, ASO safety products can be retrofitted to existing automated gates, doors and machinery. However, compatibility should always be checked with the control equipment and installation requirements before fitting.

How do I choose the right ASO safety edge?

Choosing the right ASO safety edge depends on what you are fitting it to, such as an automatic gate, garage door or industrial door. The correct profile will depend on the size of the moving part, the available space for installation and the level of protection needed.

ASO safety edges are available in different sizes and profiles to suit a range of applications. Larger profiles are generally used for bigger or heavier doors and gates, while smaller profiles are ideal where installation space is limited.

If you are unsure which safety edge is right for your project, our team can help you choose the correct product based on your application.

What size ASO safety edge do I need?

The size of safety edge you need depends on the type of door, gate or euipment you are protecting. Consider the available fitting space, the size and weight of the moving section, and how the safety edge will be used.

Our range includes different profile sizes to suit domestic gates, commercial doors and industrial applications. Each product page includes measurements and technical information to help you find the right fit.

Gate Automation

Please select what type of automation you require for your gate/s. Double & Single Swing refer to motors which attach to the gate and pillar of a swing motion gate. Double & Single Underground refer to motors which lay beneath the ground which attach to the hinge end of swing motion gates. Choose Sliding if you require lateral moving gate automation and Wheeled if you require a motor which utilises a wheeled motor to drive your gate/s.

Motor Voltage

There are two types of power outputs to consider - 24v & 230v. If you need a higher number of operations (opened/closed more than 5-6 times in an hour) during peak periods such as the morning and evening, then you may wish to consider a 24v system.

24v systems are more suitable for higher operation levels as they tend to run cooler than 230v gate motors. However, they do cost more in relative terms, so if you only need to open or close the gate 1-5 times an hour then a 230v system might prove more cost-efficient.

24v motors tend to be used on commercial premises, whereas 230v tend to be used on standard domestic properties. The exception to this rule is sliding gate motors where the reverse is true - 24v sliding gate automation systems tend to be for domestic use, 230v for more intense use (commercial/communal).

24v systems can draw power from battery backup systems meaning they can still operate during any mains power cut (a 230v or 3 phase system would need to be opened with a manual release key).

24v systems can also utilise solar power units as a means of charging batteries, allowing you to site gate automation in rural and remote locations where mains power is unavailable.

Specifications can be found for each product from their datasheet. Each datasheet is downloadable from each product page on this website.

Weight of Gate

All electric gate motors operate up to a maximum weight. This is so the gate will operate in a reliable and safe manner. It is essential to know the weight of each gate leaf in order to choose the correct motor for you installation. If you do not know the weight of your gate/s, send us a photo along with the gate/s dimensions and we can advise.

Gate Width

As with weight, gate motors are designed for gates within certain dimensions. The most important dimension is the width of the gate. To ensure you select the right motor to operate your gate you must know the width of each gate that requires automation.

Opening Angle

Each motor has a maximum angle to which it can operate to. Therefore it is important to note how far the gate needs to open in order for a vehicle to enter/exit safely.

Daily Use

The amount of times your gate is used per day is a determining factor when deciding on the right motor for your usage. Motors are designed to operate within a certain capacity (operations per day) so choosing a motor compatible with your desired use is essential for its durability. Select from the options below the number of times (open & closure = 1 x operation) the gate/s will be operated on an average day.
