Hoffman has developed the SYSPEND 281-MAX HMI suspension system for supporting and/or repositioning human-machine interface (HMI) enclosures and devices up to a maximum load capacity of 127 kg.
The newest addition to the range is designed around a modular platform consisting of aluminium tubes and die-cast aluminium components. This flexible system configuration provides an aesthetically pleasing solution for use in a wide range of process control applications where an enclosure needs to be positioned out of the way for cleaning, storage or safety considerations.
The suspension system includes varying lengths of tubes, elbows, adapters and additional components that can be configured to provide a suspension system for specific applications. The 281-MAX offers ergonomic, fatigue-free operation, with clean lines and smooth transitions between tubes and system components ensuring attractive aesthetics and easy cleaning. Tubing also provides structural integrity and acts as a conduit for equipment wiring, further enhancing the refined look. The six-fold positive connection between tubes and components, along with recessed mounting areas, delivers a secure attachment. Tubes attach with set screws that grab into the recesses in the system components for increased safety; no additional safety drilling is required.
Vertical motion tubes provide versatile, height-adjustable solutions for pedestal mounting an HMI enclosure, and the system design facilitates re-adjustment at any time, without disassembling the complete system or calibrating off-site. The 281-MAX features fully gasketed components that maintain the NEMA Type 12 enclosure rating.
