The most important electronics now offers machine manufacturers and process control system designers one of the most extensive and versatile HMI support weapons available from a single source.
The Schroff-Nvent Monitoring and Management Support arm is a modern-looking design for mounting flat panel displays up to 24 inches, complete with keyboard and mouse, suitable for industrial or laboratory environments. Fully integrated design, can be installed by one person to any cabinet in a few minutes. These arms allow the screen to tilt, rotate and rotate according to individual needs, and the keyboard can be folded up to save space. Both models are available with or without keyboard trays. The keyboard tray unit provides space saving cable management inside wall ducts.
The Idec HT3P Safety Commander family of support arms saves the cost of having custom programmed pendant or permanent touch panel in each workplace and enables machine programming or maintenance via a standard tablet. The series improves safety and maneuverability for right - and left-handed users and ADAPTS to vertical and horizontal use. It will accommodate industry-standard tablets in a variety of sizes and include a USB charging port. Built-in safety features include emergency stop switch with LED indicator light and three-position start switch and key lock function. The structure of the support arm is strong, resistant to falling 1.2m, and the protection grade is IP54.
The HMI housing support arm from TEKNOKOL provides cost-effective installation of the machine and allows modular assembly and customizable solutions with loads up to 120 kg. Three different series are offered, all compatible with their operator control panel and HMI housing offering a fully integrated assembly. Smooth, modern design, a wide range of components can be adapted to a variety of configurations, and sealing mechanisms ensure long life. It also provides coupling towers when support arms and panel assemblies cannot be directly connected to machines or automated production lines.
"The automation of manufacturing systems continues to grow and the need for distributed, on-machine control using standard tablets has led to tremendous innovation in the support weapons used by machine manufacturers. We can offer our customers a wide selection of designs and features from market-leading supplies to simplify their design and purchasing processes." Emma Kempster, Major account Manager at Foremost Electronics, said
