Photo Cells in UAE – Essential Safety for Automated Doors, Gates & Barriers
At AutomaticDoorsUAE.com, we supply and install high-performance photo cells—a critical safety component for all types of automatic gates, doors, barriers, shutters, and garage systems. Photo cells (also known as infrared safety sensors) prevent accidents by detecting obstacles in the path of a moving gate or door, instantly stopping or reversing its motion to avoid injury or damage.

Whether for residential, commercial, or industrial applications, our photo cells enhance security, ensure compliance, and offer peace of mind, especially in busy areas with frequent movement of people, vehicles, or goods.

Features of Our Photo Cell Sensors

  • Infrared Obstacle Detection – Automatically halts or reverses gate/door if movement is detected in the path
  • Wireless & Wired Options – Suitable for a variety of site conditions and setups
  • Compact & Durable Design – Weather-resistant housing ideal for UAE’s dust and heat
  • Failsafe Protection – Built-in safety relays for secure automation integration
  • Easy to Install & Align – Long-range detection with adjustable positioning
  • Low Power Consumption – Efficient operation with stable performance over time

Our safety photocells are engineered for reliable obstacle detection, making them ideal for any type of automated door or gate system. Once an object—be it a vehicle, person, or animal—is detected in the passageway, the system instantly halts the closing action and automatically reopens to prevent impact. This intelligent response not only enhances user safety but also preserves the integrity of your automation equipment, reducing wear and potential repair costs over time.

Applications of Photo Cells
🏠 Residential Gates & Garage Doors – Protect family members, pets, and vehicles from accidental closure

🏢 Commercial Entrances & Barriers – Ensure safety for staff and visitors during high traffic hours

🏭 Industrial Loading Areas – Prevent damage to equipment or forklifts during operation
