Automatic Sliding Doors
A project-configured entrance system combining glazed sliding leaves, an automatic operator, activation sensing, safety detection and control interfaces for convenient commercial access.
Product Definition
An automatic sliding glass door moves one or more glazed door leaves horizontally along an overhead track. When an approved activation input detects an approaching user, the controller manages the drive system to open the entrance. Presence safety detection and obstacle-response functions coordinate with the movement system around the monitored area.
The final system must be selected around opening dimensions, available side space, door-leaf construction and weight, pedestrian traffic, sensor layout, access-control requirements and the agreed scope of supply.
Consider this product when the entrance needs a clear glazed appearance, frequent hands-free access and a straight sliding movement coordinated with the building opening and control requirements.
Project Benefits
The value comes from coordinating the glazed entrance, automatic movement and control package around real traffic and project conditions.
Glazed door leaves maintain visibility between the exterior and interior and support a bright, open entrance design. Glass, frame and hardware construction must still be reviewed against door size, weight, architectural intent and local project requirements.
Automatic activation makes entry more practical for customers, visitors and staff carrying luggage, shopping bags, documents or small wheeled items. Sensor zones and hold-open timing should be set around the actual approach path and user flow.
Activation sensing, presence safety detection, controller settings and obstacle response work as one operating system. Their locations and functions should be confirmed for the entrance geometry, traffic pattern and selected door package.
SEPPES can discuss a complete automatic door package, an operator and control package, or a confirmed project-specific component scope. The quotation states which door body, glass, frame, operator, sensors, controls, locking interfaces and installation components are included.
Configuration Guide
Use these five groups to turn an entrance concept into a reviewable product and supply scope.
Confirm whether the project requires a complete automatic sliding glass door package, an operator and control package, or a defined set of components. The written quotation identifies every inclusion, interface and item by others.
Provide the proposed door-leaf dimensions, glass construction, frame or hardware requirement and estimated moving weight. These inputs guide operator, track and hanger selection.
Confirm how users approach the entrance, where activation is required and which areas need presence monitoring. Review sensor position together with door movement, pedestrian flow, fixed panels and surrounding activity.
Identify any card reader, keypad, face-recognition terminal, reception release, program selector, electric lock or building-system command that must interact with the door. Confirm interface type and operating logic rather than assuming compatibility from a device name.
Confirm the visible cover, frame, hardware and finish together with structural support, power location, cable routing and installation responsibility.
Coordinated System
The approved diagram shows the operator, movement hardware, sensing, controls and glazed leaves as one coordinated entrance system.
The overhead operator supports the movement system and houses the drive and control components. Its capacity must match the door construction, moving weight, opening arrangement and operating demand.
The motor and belt drive convert controller commands into horizontal door-leaf movement. Selection and adjustment must match the verified operator and door load.
The controller manages opening, closing, hold-open timing, operating modes and connected inputs. Available functions depend on the selected controller.
The track guides the suspended leaves. Its length, support and alignment coordinate with the opening width and available side space.
Hangers connect the door leaves to the moving system and transfer their load to the track assembly.
The sensing package detects the approved approach area and monitors the defined safety zone. A project may use one combined device or separate activation and presence-safety devices.
A project-defined interface can receive commands from approved access-control or building systems. Signal type, logic, locking behavior and compatibility require confirmation.
Glazed door leaves and frame construction define the visible entrance and total moving load. Dimensions, glass, hardware and finish require project review.

The specifications above represent common configuration ranges. Final dimensions, door-leaf weight, operating speed, sensors and control functions must be confirmed for the entrance size, traffic frequency, installation environment, selected operator and applicable project requirements.
Applications
Building type helps organise the discussion, while final selection still depends on the entrance dimensions, traffic and control requirements.
For stores that need a transparent entrance and convenient access for customers carrying bags or using small carts. Confirm storefront width, side travel, traffic, sensor zones and façade coordination.

For arrival points that need comfortable access for guests and luggage while maintaining a clear entrance appearance. Confirm lobby space, opening width, noise expectations, reception control and locking requirements.
View Hotel Entrance Solutions
For office entrances managing employees, visitors and peak arrival periods. Confirm clear opening, pedestrian flow, access-control logic, reception release and locking modes.
View Office Entrance Solutions
For larger public entrances with frequent two-way traffic and wheeled items. Confirm usable passage, sensor coverage, opening time, fixed panels and project-defined control interfaces.
View Shopping Mall Entrance Solutions
For public hospital entrances and circulation points requiring hands-free access for patients, visitors, wheelchairs or transport equipment. This standard product is not presented as an airtight cleanroom or operating-room door.

Project Workflow
A visible workflow keeps dimensions, interfaces, approvals and supply responsibilities aligned before production.
SEPPES reviews available opening dimensions, door-leaf information, traffic, controls, quantity, drawings and site conditions.
Door movement, side space, estimated load, sensing, access control and proposed supply scope are evaluated together.
The quotation identifies the proposed system, confirmed options, exclusions, interfaces and outstanding approvals.
Applicable project drawings and interface details are reviewed before production.
Approved components are prepared and coordinated to the confirmed scope, followed by applicable inspection and protective packaging.
SEPPES provides replaceable spare-parts supply and remote online after-sales support, including online installation guidance and remote troubleshooting. Local responsibilities are confirmed separately.
