Residential Reference — A refined automatic sliding entrance for a private lift lobby

Features & Highlights

  • Quiet maglev linear-drive operation
  • Manual sliding remains available during power loss
  • Adjustable opening speed and hold-open time
  • Compact integration with the interior door design

Project summary

This reference demonstrates how a SIPU maglev operator can be integrated into a refined automatic sliding entrance for a private lift lobby. The local project team was responsible for site measurement, door fabrication, installation and commissioning; SIPU supplied the drive solution and product support.

Design intent

Quiet movement without distracting from the space

The automatic drive needed to fit the opening configuration while maintaining a clean architectural result. Panel layout, mounting structure, travel distance and activation logic were coordinated as one system.

Technical approach

System selection around the door, not the other way around

The operator platform was selected with reference to the panel arrangement, expected weight, available track space and user flow. Sensor and control choices were then matched to the application.

Partner takeaway

Plan interfaces before fabrication

For comparable projects, confirm structural fixing, profile dimensions, cable routes, safety devices and service access before manufacturing the door. Requirements vary by market and must be checked by the local qualified installer.
