Cinema Entrance Swing Gate Turnstile 1500mm 304 Stainless Steel Acrylic Arm QR Ticket Scan Lane

Product Introduction

A cinema lobby is a narrow space that has to absorb several hundred people in ten minute bursts, once per showtime, across five or six auditoriums at the same time. This cinema entrance swing gate turnstile is set lane by lane, and the QR code on the ticket carries the auditorium number and the showtime, so a viewer who booked hall 3 cannot walk into hall 5 and take a seat. When the credits roll, the lane clears a full hall at 30 people per minute, 40 in normally open mode, and the arm opens in 0.5 seconds, so the next queue starts moving instead of piling up in front of the popcorn counter. The 550-1000mm channel takes a family with a stroller and a child in arms, and the 1500mm stainless steel cabinet leaves room for a scanner and a small screen at the lane head. A re-entry after the interval or a restroom trip is handled by the same ticket within its validity window, so nobody needs a hand stamp or a paper stub. The controller keeps the show list locally, so ticket checks continue if the ticketing server or the mall network drops, and the passage records upload afterwards for admissions reconciliation with the box office.

Product Features & Advantages

1. One Lane, Every Auditorium, Correct Hall Only

The ticket QR code carries the hall number and the showtime, and the lane checks both against the show list. A viewer who booked hall 3 is refused at the hall 5 lane with a voice prompt, so ushers stop chasing wrong hall seating in the dark.

2. Showtime Bursts Without A Lobby Queue

Five hundred seats released in ten minutes is the normal peak of a multiplex. At 30 people per minute per lane, 40 when set to normally open, and a 0.5 second opening time, four to six lanes take the whole release while the lobby keeps space for the concession queue.

3. Interval Re-entry Without A Paper Stub

The same ticket opens the lane again after the interval, a restroom trip or a call outside, as long as the show is still running. No hand stamp, no torn stub and no usher at the door reading a printed list.

4. Family And Group Bookings On One Scan

One order can carry four seats, and the lane admits the whole group on a single scan while the admission count is written against that order. This removes the awkward case where a parent with two children has to scan three separate codes at a narrow lane.

5. Screenshot Sharing And Ticket Resale Blocked

Each code is valid once per showtime and carries anti copying properties, so a screenshot sent to a friend fails at the lane. Four pairs of infrared sensors also stop a second person from entering on one scan, which is the practical form of ticket fraud at a busy door.

6. Tied To The Box Office And The Mall Network

Relay, 12V level and 12V pulse interfaces plus RS485 or TCP-IP connect the swing barrier gate to the ticketing POS, the self service kiosks and the mall security platform. Cleaning crews and staff use a separate credential group, and admissions per showtime reconcile with the box office report at closing.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can one ticket code admit a family of four?

Yes. The lane reads the seat count in the order and admits the whole group on one scan, then writes the four admissions against that order. A single seat order behaves the same way, so the box office does not need two ticket formats.

2. What happens if a viewer scans at the wrong auditorium lane?

The lane compares the hall number and showtime on the code with the show assigned to that lane, refuses entry and prompts the viewer to the correct hall. Ushers no longer have to check seat numbers by torchlight after the lights go down.

3. Can a viewer go out and come back during the film?

The same ticket opens the lane again while the show is still running, which covers a restroom trip, a phone call or a concession run. Re-entry is recorded against the same order, so admissions figures are not double counted.

4. How does it handle the ten minutes between two showtimes?

Lanes can be pre-assigned per hall or switched to the next showtime automatically. With 30 people per minute per lane and normally open mode at 40, a 300 seat release clears in about eight minutes on one lane and under three minutes on four lanes.

5. Does it connect to our existing ticketing POS and mall network?

Yes. The turnstile offers relay, 12V level and 12V pulse interfaces plus RS485 or TCP-IP, and the controller stores the show list locally so ticket checks keep working if the ticketing server or the mall network drops. Passage records upload when the connection returns.
