What is Coin or Token Operated Turnstile, how it works and its application | STXtek.com
🔷 What is a Coin or Token Operated Turnstile?
A Coin or token operated turnstile is an access control gate equipped with a coin validator or token acceptor. It allows entry only when the system detects and verifies a valid payment in the form of a coin or custom token. It works as a self-service gate, reducing the need for staff and enhancing revenue collection.
⚙️ How It Works:
- Idle State: Turnstile is locked; no entry is allowed.
- Insert Coin/Token: User inserts a coin (e.g., local currency) or token into the slot.
- Validation: The internal mechanism verifies the size, material, and weight of the coin/token.
- Access Granted: If valid, the turnstile unlocks one rotation.
- Pass Through: User pushes the arm (or it auto-rotates) to pass.
- Re-locks: After one passage, it resets and locks again.
- Optional features include coin return tray for rejected coins and digital counters for tracking usage.
