TORMAX iMotion Technology
Taking swing and sliding door automation to new levels, TORMAX sustainable iMotion technology guarantees optimum operational performance and energy efficiency by combining a high torque synchronous motor with sophisticated sensors and a ground-breaking control system that utilises LIN bus technology.
Reliable and Flexible
Designed for reliability and fully compliant with RoHS standards, the iMotion range of automatic door drives is tested well beyond current industry requirements. The high powered synchronous motors have none of the parts which usually wear out, such as gears and brushes, delivering near-indefinite life-expectancy. Further minimising maintenance, a health and safety self-monitoring system automatically makes necessary alterations in performance or signals an alert. Modular by design, expanding an iMotion door system is straightforward and cost-effective as requirements changed.
Sustainable
A sustainable option, iMotion automatic door operators are almost entirely manufactured using recyclable materials. In addition, energy consumption and heat loss from a building is minimised with iMotion technology allowing doors to be set for ‘reduced opening’ but automatically adapting if pedestrian traffic builds up from both directions. To accommodate site specific requirements individual adjustments can still be made via a user-friendly control panel. Performance is guaranteed thanks to self-monitoring torque control which adapts door operation to take account of factors such as high winds or a build-up of dirt, which may otherwise cause the door to slow down.
Complete Solution
iMotion technology is the result of dedicated research and development by the TORMAX head office team in Switzerland and is one of the most advanced solutions available in the marketplace today. TORMAX offer a full range of automatic door entrance systems that benefit from iMotion technology including sliding, curved and angular sliding doors as well as swing doors that are powered by discrete operators installed under the floor.

Tormax - Compact Automatic Entrance for Hospice Refurbishment
Compact Automatic Entrance for Hospice Refurbishment
March 2020
____________________________________________________________________
Nightingale House, a charitably run palliative care facility in Wrexham, has recently completed phase one of a significant programme of upgrade. Improving accessibility into the facility, the main entrance now benefits from a double set of automatic folding doors from TORMAX, helping maintain the ambient temperature of the reception area by creating an internal lobby.
With limited available space, the TORMAX folding door was the ideal solution with the four-leaf folding principle reducing the swivel range to just half that of a conventional two-leaf swing door. Requiring a minimum built-in width of just 1060-2260mm, the doors still offer a generous opening width that is suitable for all pedestrians and wheelchair users visiting Nightingale House.
Servicing a wide area, Nightingale House hospice offers a 12-bed in-patient ward, a daycare unit, an outpatient clinic as well as occupational and other complementary therapies. Implemented by Read Construction, phase one of the refurbishment has seen a modernisation of one entire wing of the building, including accessible toilets and showers, energy-efficient systems throughout, as well as the new reception area.
Ideal for retro-fitting during renovations such as this, the space-saving TORMAX folding door is an entirely pre-fabricated system that has been designed for ease of specification and installation. Elegant door profiles optimise sealing whilst an intelligent processor control simplifies commissioning and automatically maximise motion performance. Sophisticated engineering ensures the folding door opens smoothly from the centre, quickly and silently, every time.
As with the complete range of TORMAX automatic doors, the folding door is fitted with both vertical and horizontal threshold sensors, as well as a sensitive auto-reverse feature, which comes into operation when any obstacle is encountered during opening or closing.
TORMAX Access Solution for Student Accommodation
TORMAX Access Solution for Student Accommodation
March 2020
____________________________________________________________________
Globe Works is a brand new, student accommodation development in the centre of Birmingham. Offering stylish living facilities for up to 520 residents, the building is extremely busy 24/7. Delivering fast and efficient access for all students, TORMAX was contracted, by DW Hicks Building Co. Ltd, to install their contemporary 4-wing automatic revolving door to the main entrance, with an automatic swing door to one side. Both doors are powered by in-house designed, TORMAX operators, combining unparalleled reliability with simple day-to-day programming, allowing practical adjustment of operating speed and hold open/closing times to precisely match pedestrian footfall.
L&UK Property Group developed this modern student residence in response to increasing demand for quality accommodation. All rooms come fully furnished and students can enjoy the vibrant common room with games area and large TV for movie nights, as well as a gym and of course, super-fast Wifi. The scheme is managed by Nido Student, who offer award-winning student accommodation across the UK.
“The enduring combination of a revolving entrance with automatic swing pass door is an extremely practical solution for a wide variety of locations,” comments Simon Roberts, MD for TORMAX. “The revolving door is great at minimising heat-loss from a building yet delivers fast-moving access for large numbers of people.
“The swing door ensures less-able users have clear access and is also ideal for bringing in bulky items – such as the large quantities of luggage that students arrive with at the start of term.”
Contributing to sustainability targets, both doors can be operated in low-energy mode. The revolving door, powered by the high torque TORMAX 5251 door drive, can be activated by either starting rotation only when slight pressure is applied to a door-leaf or rotating as soon as door sensors are triggered.
The swing door, driven by the technologically advanced TORMAX 1201 operator, can either be used in full-power application, in power-assisted manual door opening mode or even low-energy mode without safety features.
