Some systems are equipped with the <a href=\"https:\/\/sonha.com\/en\/san-pham\/nsw-a01-sensor\/\">NABCO NSW-A01 sensor<\/a>, which accurately detects users within the doorway area while maintaining a safe operating zone during door movement.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, integrated safety sensors can detect people or wheelchairs within the operating area, allowing the door to remain open or temporarily stop closing when necessary. As a result, sensor-activated sliding doors have become one of the most effective solutions for wheelchair users and are now a common technology in automatic doors for people with disabilities.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ApBRUUVWGzo?si=CiFiYl5AX4z64V7l\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Smart operation experience with the NABCO NSW-A01 sensor<\/em><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Automatic_revolving_doors_with_wheelchair_slow-speed_mode\"><\/span>Automatic revolving doors with wheelchair slow-speed mode<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In addition to <a href=\"https:\/\/sonha.com\/en\/automatic-door\/automatic-sliding-door\/\">automatic sliding doors<\/a>, many modern revolving door systems are equipped with dedicated accessibility modes for wheelchair users.
