  • Patent number: 6657409
    Abstract: A control system for a door or gate which is movable between an open position and a closed position by an automated operator, comprising a door travel organizer which divides the door travel into a plurality of segments and each segment into a plurality of sectors; a sensor to sense at each sector, the resistance of the door or gate against opening and closing whilst moving between the open position and the closed position over a predetermined number of open close cycles, and to generate at least one signal representative of that resistance in each segment over the open close cycle, a recorder connected to the sensor to receive each representative signal and to store such a signal; a comparator to compare each signal with a resistance trip point set for each segment and generate a resistance profile for the door or gate over an open close cycle of the door or gate; a calculator to calculate the resistance trip point for the door or gate for each segment based upon the highest resistance encountered in any sec

  • Patent number: 6305457
    Abstract: A rolling door drive assembly including a final drive unit for connection to a door, whereby the door may be rotated by the final drive unit about an axis to open and close the door, a motor, a drive between the final drive unit and the motor operatively engaged with the motor, one or more drive axes about which one or more components of the drive rotate to transfer drive from the motor to the final drive unit, an actuator to bring the drive to a first configuration at which the motor is engaged to drive the final drive unit through the drive and to bring the drive to a second configuration at which the motor is disengaged from driving the final drive unit, and a resilient spring for urging the drive into one of the configurations. The actuator includes a cam rotatable about a cam axis separate from the one or more drive axes. The cam acts to set the desired configuration of the drive.
