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 Automatic Access to Award-Winning Gallery
TORMAX Automatic Access to Award-Winning Gallery
Sept 2021
_____________________________________________________________________________
The award-winning MK Gallery brings world-class exhibitions and events, together with pioneering learning and engagement programmes, to the heart of Milton Keynes. Ensuring this vibrant community facility is accessible to all, TORMAX was contracted by B&K Building Services Ltd to install automatic doors throughout the contemporary new extension.
Access to the popular café and extensive gallery spaces is simplified with the installation of TORMAX iMotion 1301 heavy-duty swing doors, ensuring free-flowing pedestrian traffic, even during busy events. A TORMAX iMotion 2302 automatic single sliding door creates a welcoming main entrance. Ensuring trouble-free operation and maximising the working life of the doors, MK Gallery has an annual maintenance contract with the in-house trained team of TORMAX service engineers.
MK Gallery is an ‘architectural gem’, designed by renowned architects 6a, in collaboration with artists Gareth Jones and Nils Norman and is an iconic feature of the city's skyline. The Gallery presents significant exhibitions of contemporary and historic art and design, alongside extensive public programmes.
The Swiss-designed TORMAX range of iMotion automatic door operators incorporate a high torque synchronous motor that features none of the working parts that usually wear out, such as gears and brushes, making them one of the most durable and reliable on the market today.
Both the iMotion 2302 and 1301 door drives are sustainable solutions, being precision engineered to minimise energy consumption during normal operation whilst heat loss from the main entrance is minimised thanks to a combination of rapid reaction sensors and powerful opening and closing speeds. The operators themselves are manufactured using 95% re-cyclable materials.
“A planned maintenance contract can cut remedial call out rates for automatic doors by up to 80%”, explains Simon Roberts, MD for TORMAX. “Schedule maintenance throughout the year ensures minor repairs are quickly resolved before they cause long-term damage. Our UK-wide team of engineers are trained to work on most automatic entrance systems and maintain a well-stocked van for on-the-job repairs.”
TORMAX Concealed Door Drive Creates Timeless Automatic Entrance

Delivering invisible door automation, OAG Ltd specified TORMAX UK to install their iMotion 1401 underfloor operator to a swing door on a Grade II listed building within the Woolwich Works development, Greenwich. Featuring elegantly arched brickwork, a row of three swing doors give entry into one of the creative community spaces, with one door providing clear and easy access for everyone, thanks to the TORMAX automatic door drive.
The iMotion 1401 is ideally suited to period properties where an externally situated operator would detract from the aesthetics of the building. Concealed in a steel box situated in the floorspace below the door, the Swiss-engineered motor has been precision-designed for a long-life span and exceptional reliability, featuring none of the working parts that generally need replacing, such as gears or brushes.
Set in five heritage industrial buildings on the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich Works is London’s newest creative district and provides flexible performance and event spaces, rehearsal studios, rooms for community events and celebrations, bars, and a café. Run by the Woolwich Creative District Trust, an independent registered charity, the mission for the project is ‘to offer hope and opportunity by enabling people to realise their creative potential.’
“We have been delighted to be involved on this inspirational project which has so creatively renovated the period properties,” comments Simon Roberts, MD for TORMAX.
“Utilising an invisible method of automating the swing door, such as with an iMotion 1401 operator, is the best solution to ensure the facilities are accessible to all members of the community, without negatively impacting the façade of the heritage building.”
TORMAX offers a complete service from bespoke entrance design to manufacture, installation and ongoing maintenance and service. With over 60yrs working in the automatic door sector, TORMAX has solutions to meet the needs of almost any entrance requirement.
