In the turnstile industry, do you know which type of turnstile has the longest history?
Tell you aloud, it is tripod turnstile.
Tripod turnstile is the earliest turnstile type, and speed gate turnstile and flap barrier turnstile are developed later.
Tripod turnstile has a long history but it is also getting modern.
It has been changing with the changes of the times and developing in the direction of intelligence,
Tripod turnstile strengthens safety management for many places and guard pedestrian entrances and exits.
After so many years of development, the tripod turnstile has changed and has not changed.
The type and control method have basically not changed, and the development direction of continuous evolution has not changed.
What has changed is the continuous upgrading and innovation in all aspects. Material applications (stainless steel → artificial stone), verification methods (swiping card → scanning QR code → face recognition), and performance, etc., have all changed and innovated.
Change and no change, are to meet the needs of the application of the times.
What are the classifications of the constant tripod turnstile?

No matter it is a bridge type or a vertical type, the tripod turnstile with the same appearance can be made fully automatic or semi-automatic. There are slight differences in function between fully automatic and semi-automatic tripod turnstiles.
| Type | Fully-auto tripod turnstile | Semi-auto tripod turnstile |
| Control method | The rotation of the arms is controlled by the motor. | The rotation of the arms is controlled by the solenoid. |
| Use environment | It is generally used indoors, it is recommended to add canopy for outdoor use, and it has the characteristics of IP65, high temperature resistance, low temperature resistance and so on. | It is used both indoors and outdoors. The turnstile is with IP65, high temperature resistance, low temperature resistance and other characteristics for outdoor use. |
Over force feedback control function | When an impact force on the arms beyond the safe range, the arms can be slowly pushed for a certain distance to buffer the impact force of the mechanism and the reverse impact force of pedestrians. | No |
| Closed-loop feedback control system | Intelligently monitor the movement status of the arms | No |
The function of reminding passing | After the tripod turnstile receives the legal passing signal, the arm will rotate at a certain angle in the direction of opening to remind pedestrians to pass. | No |
| Other functions | Same |
What are the highlights of the changed tripod turnstile?
CMOLO has been optimizing the tripod turnstile, so that it continues to maintain its leading position in technology and superior quality in the industry.
The tripod adopts the mechanical anti-tailgating design, which can completely control only one person to pass at a time, effectively prevent the tailgating behavior, and is safer and more reliable in pedestrian management. In terms of anti-tailing function, tripod turnstiles are superior to speed gate turnstiles, flap barrier turnstiles, and optical turnstile gate.
The tripod turnstile mechanism is independently developed by CMOLO, and has been continuously optimized and upgraded. It has always had ultra-high stability and long service life.
With advanced control technology, CMOLO self-developed motor control or solenoid control algorithm, which can achieve precise control and positioning of the arms.
When the power is off, CMOLO has independently developed this advanced mechanism structure. In the event of power failure, the arms can be automatically dropped down. When an emergency occurs, the turnstile is open after power failure, which can quickly evacuate the crowd.
The fully automatic tripod turnstile has an over-force feedback function. When an impact force on the arms beyond the safe range, the arms can be slowly pushed for a certain distance to buffer the impact force of the mechanism and the reverse impact force of pedestrians.
The semi-auto tripod turnstile is designed with a mechanical and electric control locking structure, which can prevent illegal hitting arms and reverse passing.
The modular design of the tripod turnstiles allows for quick and efficient maintenance.
It has high compatibility and high integration, and can integrate various supporting systems to help establish an integrated management system.

Tripod turnstile is suitable for both indoors and outdoors. It has very strong environmental adaptability.
The body of the tripod turnstile is made of stainless steel, which is more durable, not easy to deform, not easy to age, and has good leakproofness, so the environmental adaptability is very strong, and it can be used both indoors and outdoors.
The tripod turnstile is suitable for any scene, but the application requirements of each place are different. Considering the current user experience, the application of the tripod turnstile has also changed compared with the past. Nowadays, tripod turnstile is more used in factories, residence communities, scenic spots, gymnasiums, and less used in indoor buildings and high traffic flow places such as airports and high-speed railway stations.

In the management of pedestrian access control, the role of the tripod turnstile is mainly in two aspects, one is to replace the manual management; the other one is to connect the pedestrian management system with other systems to establish an integrated management system. Under the times background of the intelligent development, management efficiency and management safety are more important. CMOLO will move forward in the direction of digitization and intelligence, so that the tripod turnstile will continue to innovate, play its biggest role, and better help various scenes to build an instrumented, digital, efficient and safe three-dimensional management system.
