About Product
Discipline At The Door Without A Queue
A tripod turnstile is where an access-control policy becomes physical. A reader records who should have entered; a turnstile decides who actually did. One credential releases one rotation, so the headcount at the door is enforced by the mechanism, not by a guard watching a queue.
It is specified wherever people arrive in volume and identity matters - office lobbies at shift change, factory gates where attendance feeds payroll, metro concourses, stadiums, hospitals and residential towers. The crowd is orderly; the requirement is throughput with an audit trail.
Aurotoshi builds three configurations: a compact standing unit for tight lobbies, a bridge unit that sits in banks across a wide entrance, and a fully motorized bridge unit for continuous footfall and fare collection.
Stainless steel is the standard build, not a paid upgrade. The arms drop clear on fire alarm or power loss, so the lane becomes an escape route. Readers are not tied to a platform. And with manufacturing and spares held in Ghaziabad, a lane that goes down is back in service within 24 hours..
Features
One Person Per Credential, Enforced Mechanically
Positive-action lock releases one 120° rotation per credential; anti-pass-back standard.
Drop-Arm Fire Release
Arms drop clear on fire alarm or power loss, opening the lane.
30-35 People per Minute
Release under 0.5 second through a 550 mm passage, per lane.
SS 304 Hairline Cabinet as Standard
SS 304 hairline as standard; SS 316 and powder coat available.
Reader-Agnostic Integration
RFID, fingerprint, QR, face, iris and Morpho readers wire into the cabinet.
5 to 10 Million Cycle Mechanism
5 million cycles, 10 million motorized; mean time to repair under 30 minutes.

Waist-high three-arm turnstile in a compact standing cabinet that unlocks on a valid credential and is rotated by the user, releasing one person per authorisation. Specified where floor space is tight.
Same semi-automatic mechanism in a bridge cabinet built to run in banks across a wide entrance. Heavier 1.5 mm build with a damper and IP 54 rating for busier lanes.
Motor-driven arm that rotates on a valid credential and returns to home position on its own, with three IR proximity sensors reading the lane. For continuous footfall and fare collection.

Frequently Asked Questions
Buyer's Questions, Answered
Common queries from facility managers, procurement heads, and plant engineers.
Semi-automatic is the default - the arm unlocks on the credential and the user rotates it. Choose fully motorized for continuous peak footfall, fare collection, or where users should not have to push.
Yes, mechanically. A positive-action lock releases one 120° rotation per authorisation, and anti-pass-back stops a card being handed back. A tripod is waist-high, so specify a full-height turnstile where climb-over also matters.
30 to 35 persons a minute per lane, with release under 0.5 second through a 550 mm passage. Size the lane count off your busiest fifteen-minute window, not your daily headcount.
The arms drop clear on fire alarm or power loss, so the lane becomes an open escape route with no manual intervention. Fail-safe operation is tested under the AMC and records provided.
RFID and smart cards, fingerprint, QR, face, iris and Morpho readers wire directly into the cabinet, so the turnstile works with the platform you already run. Attendance and muster systems take the data directly.
SS 304 hairline as standard, with SS 316 or powder coat for coastal, humid and outdoor lanes. IP 44 on the standing unit, IP 54 on both bridge units. Confirm the position at survey.
Rated to 5 million cycles, with repair under 30 minutes. Quarterly servicing covers the drive, bearings, lock, reader calibration and drop-arm testing. AMC includes 24-hour response and in-house spares.
Standard units ship 4 to 6 weeks from order confirmation, manufactured in Ghaziabad. Aurotoshi supplies EPC contractors, consultants and integrators as an OEM and ODM manufacturer with spec sheets and drawings.
