A selection of new industrial actuators for Series 61 switches is now available from EAO - the expert partner for Human Machine Interfaces.
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 several colours: blue, green, red. It is ideal for public use applications that require an attractive pushbutton to focus the user’s attention - a ticket-issuing machine, for instance. Finally, there is a new 30mm mushroom-head pushbutton that is useful for palm-push operation switches, the type which are found on emergency-help points and access control machines.
These new options are an efficient way to create an exciting new control panel, or update an existing panel with a more contemporary style without going through the process of a complete redesign.
Series 61 switches are protected to IP65 from the front, so they are suitable for most industrial environments.
EAO’s skilled engineering department can provide a comprehensive HMI design service. It will advise on electronic circuit and industrial design, front panel integration, custom marking, graphic design and colour matching, and provide rigorous in-house testing to international standards.
