Seameless switch meets demands of shrinking world
EAO meets the demands of a shrinking world, enabling the series 61 E-Stop to be integrated into compact control panels, mosaic panels, and a wide range of machinery and process control equipement.
Having addressed the ergonomic hazards associated with an industrial task, EAO has sought to develop solutions to align equipment and tasks, to enable user and technology to work in complete harmony.
EAO adopted a user-centred approach to developing the Series 61 potentiometer.
Using a standard 10kohm/1W potentiometer, as a basis, EAO cleverly designed the outer dimensions of the potentiometer to fully complement the flush mount design of EAOs popular Series 61 range.
The advantage of consistent human machine interface design is ease of use and therefore less likely to lead to errors in operation.
This is particularly important for high stress and safety-critical operations such as control rooms.
With additional advantages of being sealed to IP65, available for 22.5mm diameter and square 21 x 21mm cutouts and with 300mm rear wiring, the Series 61 potentiometer is ideally suitable for applications such as machinery, process-control equipment and instrumentation.
The Series 61 potentiometer's dimmer technology also makes it ideally suited to the transportation market. Request a free brochure from EAO ...
