Components for Security Checkpoints

Trouble-free movement in automated entry controls

Components used in access systems are essential for efficiently and securely controlling entry to buildings and other security checkpoints. These systems incorporate a range of technologies designed to manage access and verify identities. One of the key challenges is ensuring continuous, failure-free operation, as public access systems are often subject to constant use.

With motion plastics, access systems can operate reliably and efficiently while also reducing costs. These products are known for their durability, maintenance-free performance, and resistance to wear.

Proven drive systems for EES (Entry/Exit Systems) and smart borders

The introduction of the Entry/Exit System (EES) and the EU's Smart Borders initiative is transforming border control by improving efficiency and security at the external borders of the Schengen Area. The EES systematically records the entry and exit data of foreign nationals travelling to the Schengen area for short stays. This enables precise calculation and monitoring of the length of stay and contributes to the fight against identity fraud and misuse of travel documents.

igus offers innovative drive systems that have been specially developed for the requirements of modern access systems. Our solutions support the automation and digitalization of border controls by providing reliable and durable components that meet the high requirements of the EES. For smooth and fast deployment, igus supplies ready-to-install complete systems for the toothed belt axes and energy chain systems, which enable the adjustment of the camera and display and ensure the power supply and data transmission.
