The 2010 Tau t-shirt has a new and winning style. It is conceived not only to be worn at work, but mainly to be with you in your spare time, for a bicycle ride with your family or a volley match on the beach.

At TAU, we are ever attentive to the demands of a market looking for a safe product, compliant with international standards, easy to install, and above all totally reliable over time.
T-SKY is the answer to these needs: a painstakingly designed operator, with a stylish design, silent operation and optimal safety.

Each certified system must bear a dataplate certifying that the system complies with current standards and can thus be defined as CE.
Tau provides all installers with a metal plate, which is easily compiled with an indelible pen.
To ensure that the text remains legible over time, Tau provides a practical transparent adhesive film to place over the text. Request this from our sales office for your future systems.

The new brochure developed by Tau is a practical means suitable for all installers to promote safety awareness in the area and provide a guide to periodic maintenance of automatic gates and doors.

Tau wish to thank all installers who enthusiastically attended our technical training. During 2009 we organized at our facilities 15 meetings with over 600 participants. In these events, organized to offer some guidelines to aid professional growth, both TAU’s staff and Guests could enjoy the mutual benefit of an information exchange. Thanks to all Customers and Installers who believe in TAU, and thanks to their advices and experience which help us improving our products and our Company.

A new ring nut developed by TAU maintains perfect linearity of the operator, also at maximum extension status. Therefore, also when used on larger leaf, during the gate closing phase a smooth operator movement is guaranteed.

Despite the notable opening speed of the barrier (up to 1.9 seconds) impact with vehicles is the main reason for damage of automatic barriers in areas subject to intense traffic.
The breakout kit is a useful accessory that enables horizontal movement of the barrier in the event of frontal impact with a vehicle.
This prevents impact with the barrier body and damage to mechanical parts, thus limiting device downtimes due to the time required for pole re-alignment.
The breakout kit can only be used in conjunction with the barrier model 800RBLO.

The new seal rings, fitted as standard on all underground motors R18, guarantee total and constant protection against rainwater over time.
The new system comprises two seals: the first rotates with the exit shaft, while the second seal remains stationary on the fixed section. On previous systems, seal ring wear was more premature due to the friction of the seal with the metal.
This increased wear led to reduced efficiency and thus the risk of infiltration of water or damage over time.
The new seal ring system thus eliminates premature wear of the seals, guaranteeing safe and constant operation over time.
However, to ensure correct operation of all underground gearmotors, it is fundamental to envisage drain lines and suitable foundation boxes to aid the removal and drainage of rainwater. It is also important to periodically check that waste or other items do not obstruct the rainwater drain outlets.

Tau presents the new 4-channel 433,92 MHz radio channel in the series T-4.
Available with three technologies as required: dip-switch, self-learning and rolling code.
T-4 stands out for its clean-cut design and practicability of the two applications: thanks to the flexible cord, it can become an eye-catching accessory on a key ring or can be mounted on the wall or car dashboard using the support supplied as standard. Available from November 2009.

A special cataphoresis paint treatment ensures that the paint coating on barriers will provide extraordinary protection against chemical and other types of attack for a long time.

This treatment provides greater protection action rust, weather and pollution and ensures that the brightness and color of the paint will last a long time.

TAU is now offering a limited and exclusive edition of its BIG Commercial Use Gate Operators. The BIG18QI, suited for sliding gates up to 2500 Kg, features an all stainless steel housing. It’s a perfect choice for commercial gates requiring maximum power and the reliable three-phase technology.

TAU solves every problem related to automation, with solutions for every context, even in the case of distance or difficulty in reaching the electronic network. In these cases, the answer lies in solar power. The automatic opening of the gate, a barrier or an up-and-over door is possible through the TAU power kit, complete with a photovoltaic panel and battery. At no charge, always available, solar power is perfect in these situations: a small solar panel, installed next to the automation system, makes independent the mechanism. An ecological choice that allows you to save on costs and avoids excavating works or for the amendment on the electricity network.

An impact force meter is required for certifying power-operated gates and doors in accordance with standards EN 12445 and EN 12453. It is available in two versions: model 900FBLU which features Bluetooth and USB interfaces and measurement software and version 900FUSB with only the USB socket for transferring data to a PC or palmtop.
