The GfA range of Fi (Frequency Inverter) drive systems enable the door industry to offer a range of high-speed industrial doors to suit all applications. The introduction of the Safedrive® Fi in 2009 revolutionised the use of frequency inverter drives across the industry. Since its introduction, the range of Fi drives that GfA offers has expanded to include all types of balanced and non-balanced doors, becoming the benchmark for high-speed door technology. Addressing the Demand Industrial doors are required to perform many roles from segmenting factory processes, preventing contamination in surrounding areas and enabling traffic to enter and leave buildings quickly and efficiently. Security in recent years has become increasingly important with the need to secure premises and restrict unauthorised entry. To meet these demands, GfA Fi drives can be used across many applications including production facilities, warehouses, waste management facilities, infrastructure projects, airports and emergency services. In these situations, speed, frequency of use and durability are key. Why Choose the Fi Range? With a multitude of features, the GfA Fi range of drives offer as standard: • Soft Start and Stop: The GfA Fi system ensures smooth operation with a soft start and stop feature, reducing door wear and tear. This approach future-proofs your investment and reduces unwanted noise during operation, such as with a car park underneath an apartment block. • High-Speed Efficiency: Designed for speed, GfA Fi drives open doors quickly for optimal operational use and efficiency. This is particularly beneficial for facilities that require high-frequency door usage. • Physical Security: High-speed doors help improve the security of premises. Their quick opening and closing speeds provide restricted entry and reduced risk of unauthorised personnel and vehicles entering the facility. • Plug-and-Play: The Fi system’s installer-friendly plug-and-play design means if you can fit GfA’s standard drive units, you can fit the Fi drives. It’s about making advanced door technology accessible. • Ease of Set Up: The GfA Fi’s gearbox and inverter are mapped in the factory to allow easy customisation of the output speed, without risk of exceeding the permissible values of the drive. This ensures maximum torque remains available across the full range of speed. The door installer simply dials in the speed required! • Energy-Saving: By reducing the time doors remain open, the Fi system helps to maintain the internal environment, significantly reducing energy costs. Proven Performance in the Real-World The GfA Fi system’s robust design and extensive range of torque and speed combinations have made it the go-to product for numerous installations worldwide.
