Does the Safescan Laser Safety Sensor Prevent Pinching? Here’s What You Need to Know

Automatic swing doors offer convenience and accessibility, but safety remains a top priority—especially in environments frequented by children, pets, or elderly individuals. A common concern we hear from customers is:

“Does the Safescan Laser Safety Sensor have real-time detection to prevent doors from pinching people or animals? And does it comply with international safety standards like EN 16005 or IEC 61496?”

As a leading OEM manufacturer of automatic door sensors, we take these concerns seriously. Below, we’ll walk you through the anti-pinch capabilities, real-time monitoring, and compliance certifications of the Safescan sensor—so you can choose the right solution with confidence.

Real-Time Dynamic Detection to Prevent Pinching

The Safescan Laser Safety Sensor is designed with advanced 3D laser time-of-flight technology, enabling real-time object detection within the swing path of the door.

Dynamic area monitoring: The sensor continuously scans its environment, adjusting in real time to detect people, pets, or obstacles—even if they are small, fast-moving, or partially visible.

Multi-level detection zones: Detection fields are configured at multiple heights, ensuring that children’s hands, feet, and pets are recognized—not just adult-level movements.

Instant response: The sensor sends immediate stop or reverse commands to the door controller if anything enters the danger zone—before contact occurs.

This ensures the door never closes on someone standing in its path, reducing the risk of injury significantly.

Compliance with International Safety Standards

Safety regulations vary by region, but two major standards govern automatic door systems globally:

EN 16005 (European standard for safety in powered pedestrian doors)

IEC 61496 (International standard for the safety of machinery using electro-sensitive protective equipment)

We’re proud to confirm that the Safescan Laser Safety Sensor is engineered to comply with both EN 16005 and IEC 61496 standards.

What This Means for You:

EN 16005-compliant: Ensures the sensor meets strict criteria for user protection, particularly in public or commercial buildings
IEC 61496-compliant: Guarantees the use of safe and reliable electro-sensitive technology, such as laser and optical systems
Peace of mind: Whether you’re installing the sensor in a hospital, school, office, or residential property, you can trust it meets the highest global safety benchmarks

Ideal for High-Traffic and Sensitive Environments

The Safescan sensor is widely used in:

Hospitals & clinics (where patient safety is critical)

Schools & childcare centers (protecting children from door accidents)

Retail & commercial spaces (ensuring ADA-compliant, injury-free access)

Residential buildings (keeping pets and family members safe)

Conclusion: Reliable Safety, Certified Performance

If you're looking for an anti-pinch safety sensor for automatic swing doors that delivers real-time dynamic detection and meets international safety standards, the Safescan Laser Safety Sensor is the ideal solution.

Why Your Automatic Door Doesn't Fully Close – Causes and Solutions for Gaps and Sealing Issues

Automatic doors are essential in modern buildings, offering convenience, efficiency, and enhanced security. However, one common issue faced by many users is the door not closing completely. This can result in visible gaps, poor sealing, energy loss, and compromised safety. If you're experiencing this problem, you're not alone. In this article, we’ll explain the key causes and practical solutions to help you restore the full functionality of your automatic door. Common Reasons Why Automatic Doors Don't Fully Close Sensor Malfunction or Misalignment Automatic sliding doors rely on sensors to detect movement and control the opening and closing cycle. If the sensor is misaligned or malfunctioning, it may misinterpret the surroundings and stop the door prematurely, leaving a gap. Obstructions in the Door Track Dirt, debris, or foreign objects in the track can obstruct the door’s movement, preventing it from fully closing. Even small particles can cause resistance that affects al...

What is the typical lifespan of automatic door infrared sensors, and when should they be replaced or upgraded?

Automatic door infrared sensors are vital components in modern building access systems, offering convenience, safety, and energy efficiency. These sensors are designed to detect the presence of individuals or objects and trigger the door's opening and closing. However, like any technology, they have a finite lifespan. In this article, we will explore the typical lifespan of automatic door infrared sensors and when they should be replaced or upgraded to ensure optimal functionality and safety. The Lifespan of Infrared Sensors The typical lifespan of automatic door infrared sensors can vary based on several factors, including the quality of the sensors, environmental conditions, and the level of use. However, on average, infrared sensors are expected to function reliably for approximately 5 to 10 years. Factors Affecting Lifespan 1.  Quality and Durability: High-quality sensors made from durable materials tend to have a longer lifespan. Cheaper or poorly constructed sensors may wear ...

How to Solve Common Automatic Door Issues: Jerky Movement, Noise & Uneven Speed

Automatic sliding doors have become an essential part of modern commercial and residential buildings. However, users may occasionally encounter performance issues such as jerky movement during opening or closing, loud operational noise, or uneven door speed. As a leading OEM manufacturer of automatic door operators, we understand how frustrating these problems can be—and we're here to help you troubleshoot and resolve them effectively. Common Causes of Automatic Door Performance Problems 1. Dirty or Damaged Tracks and Rollers Dirt, debris, or worn-out rollers can cause the door to move unevenly or produce noise. This is one of the most common reasons for jerky door operation. Solution: Regularly inspect and clean the track. Replace worn or damaged rollers with high-quality OEM parts to ensure smooth operation. 2. Incorrect Door Alignment If the door is misaligned, it may rub against the track or side panels, resulting in noise and uneven motion. Solution: Have a qualified technicia...
