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.
These types of switches offer very good tactile feedback and an audible click when pressed.
The panel can be screen printed with unique symbols and covered with a clear, protective varnish.
It can be backlit by LEDs for operation in bad light; switches can be individually illuminated too.
Each switch can be assigned multiple functions so there is the possibility to create selector switches; the small transparent windows above each switch will illuminate to show the status.
Other input devices such as encoders, joysticks and trackballs can be added to the controls on the front panel.
The complete rugged panel can be supplied with integrated PCB electronics, including microprocessors and specialist interfaces such as CAN modules, and delivered ready for immediate installation with the appropriate connections.
EAO is an experienced supplier of these rubberised panels for applications that operate in harsh, challenging environments, such as agricultural and construction vehicles.
EAO can also deliver panels built to military specification. Request a free brochure from EAO ...
