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 - Invisible Door Automation Opens Historic Oxford College Entrance
Invisible Door Automation Opens Historic Oxford College Entrance (August 2024)
_______________________________________________________________________
The Grade II listed dining hall at Pembroke College, Oxford University has undergone a significant upgrade. Architects Walters & Cohen, in collaboration with Glasstec, has addressed the issue of draughts from the hall’s heavy timber doors by installing an elegant yet highly functional, self-opening glazed entrance door.
This creative solution incorporates a TORMAX iMotion 1401 concealed door drive, providing invisible automation for the swing door. The result is a warm, draught-free environment that enhances thermal comfort and energy efficiency without compromising the hall’s historic charm.
The new entrance door is a testament to the seamless integration of modern technology within a historic setting. The TORMAX iMotion 1401, located discreetly in a steel casing beneath the door, ensures that the aesthetic integrity of the Victorian stonework remains intact.
"We are delighted with the successful installation of the new entrance door, which cleverly balances functionality and heritage conservation," said Vanessa Gouws, Operations Bursar of Pembroke College. "This intervention has helped improve the energy efficiency of the dining hall, the second biggest fuel consumer in Pembroke’s estate, not to mention helping keep diners and dinners warm."
TORMAX is a global leader in door automation systems, renowned for their innovative designs and commitment to quality.
Designed in-house at the TORMAX headquarters in Switzerland, the iMotion range of automatic door operators incorporate a motor with none of the elements that generally wear out, such as gears and brushes. This ensures exceptional longevity and demands only minimal ongoing maintenance, making it entirely feasible to situate the drive in a concealed location.
“In addition to the iMotion 1401 underfloor door drive, we offer the iMotion 1302.KI which is concealed within the door lintel,” comments Simon Roberts, MD for TORMAX UK. “Together, these options can deliver practical access solutions for almost any location where the traditional appearance of an entrance must be preserved.”

Striving to be recognised as a modern college that welcomes students from a wide range of backgrounds, Trinity College, in central Oxford, developed the new Levine Building.
The building is a benchmark for overall accessibility, with main contractor, Gilbert Ash, specifying TORMAX to automate ten key access points throughout the building. Delivering reliable swing door automation, TORMAX installed their technologically superior iMotion 1301 to the main entrance doors and elsewhere in the building. For the aesthetically sensitive entrances, TORMAX recommended the iMotion 1401 operator which is neatly housed in a casing beneath floor to create invisible automation.
As Trinity College has continued to improve accessibility elsewhere on campus, TORMAX has automated three further swing door entrances.
The Levine Building is designed by ADAM Architecture and is a modern classical building that sits harmoniously within a rich built and landscape heritage. Focusing on the College’s ambition to improve diversity of applicants, user groups were drawn from across the whole College community so that specific needs could be addressed.
Providing world-class facilities for teaching, residential accommodation, public outreach, and social activity, the Levine Building has level access to all public areas, teaching rooms at ground floor level and two new lifts. The TORMAX automated doors help ensure ease of movement throughout the building for all users.
“Since being opened by HRH Prince of Wales in 2022, the Levine Building has proved to be a superb asset to the College,” confirms Andy Hooper, Clerk of Works at Trinity. “The careful planning that went into ensuring that all elements of the facility can be accessed by everyone is evident throughout, with lifts, no-step accessible rooms and automated doors.”
Swiss-owned, TORMAX UK Ltd has over 60 years of experience in the design, manufacture, installation and ongoing service of automatic door systems. With a complete range of technologically advanced door drives, for revolving, swing, sliding and folding doors, an automatic entrance is a reality for almost any location.
