Sioux.NET on Track: new locker door system (Torggler doors)

[Hanso]

For delivering the candies to the visitors, we use four lockers. The ticket you have received at the beginning, is used to open the locker containing your own candy. The current version uses an iris-like mechanism, you can see it in the picture (click on it to see it on Youtube in action):

 

I am planning to upgrade the lockers to a new door mechanism, the so called torggler doors. It is named after its inventor Klemens Torggler.

 

Below you find a Youtube video containing the first proof of concept.

 

The mechanism will be improved in the coming weeks. Stay tuned!

 

Enjoy, Hans

Woah infinite candy doors. Need those here to fill my boxes!

Nice job on making these doors work without pulling/pushing in the middle.

Thanks, Mr Jos.

 

Once finished building, it should look something like this (render made with Stud.io):

And this is the final result (it took some time due to holidays and ordering the right missing elements):
