Illuminated switches suit industrial systems
6 August 2008
Switches, Relays & Keypads
A selection of new industrial actuators for Series 61 switches is now available from EAO.
There are many new options for flush-mounting actuators in standard mounting sizes. Most importantly, they can be fitted with different types of illuminated lenses that will create an attractive halo-style glow, a laser-engraved symbol, or a central spot. The illuminated symbols are an excellent way to enhance the aesthetic design of a control panel and improve the industrial ergonomics.
There is also an aluminium dome lens which is available in blue, green and red. It is ideal for public use applications that require an attractive pushbutton to focus the user’s attention – ticket-issuing machines, for example. Finally, there is a new 30 mm mushroom-head pushbutton that is useful for palm-push operation switches, the type which are found on emergency-help points and access control machines.
Series 61 switches are protected to IP65 from the front, so they are suitable for most industrial environments.
