The SU5000 Optical Turnstile offers a slim size, making it incredibly useful for areas that don’t offer a lot of space.  This turnstile utilizes a swinging barrier to allow for bi-directional passage when integrated with the building’s access control system.  The system offers many different operational modes and features to suit a variety of applications.
