The door has a speed range of between 0.6 and 1.8 m/s providing an open/close time of less than 3 seconds.
The Falcon incorporates safety systems which can be application or industry specific. For example, the Falcon can use a PLC bump switch, a safe edge or photocell (connected to the customer's PLC) to control the door.
Furthermore, the Falcon can be connected to Lasermet's Laser Interlock Control System for use in laser processing manufacturing installations. In this case, the interlock only allows the laser to fire when the door is closed. Being a dual-channel controller, the laser system can be wired to satisfy the safety requirements in ISO 13849-1 (Safety of machinery) Performance Level 'e'.

Optional active laser guarding can be incorporated for very high powered (multi-kW) lasers. This is called Laser Jailer and it is a failsafe laser protection system where the laser is shutdown if the laser beam inadvertently strikes the inside of the door.
