LED Tower Lights: The Most Common Questions, Answered

Image
Tower lights, such as LED tower lights, are special lights used in a wide range of manufacturing and industrial applications for communication and process controls. These are some of the most common questions associated with them. What Are Tower Lights Used for? Tower lights are used for process control, automation, and communication in a wide variety of manufacturing and other industrial applications. They are stacked lights, typically arranged on a column. A tower light can have one light or many different colored lights, each of which communicates unique significance (see below). They deliver visual (and sometimes auditory) cues regarding a system, machine, or the status of a process. They are used for: Productivity monitoring, such as tracking the progress of a process and comparing uptime and downtime. Communication of machine faults, or the interruption of a process. To monitor maintenance stations. CNC machining, to provide feedback or supervisory control of a machine...

The Role of Push Button Switches in Industrial Automation

Image
Industrial processes rely heavily on automation and efficiency to ensure that production runs smoothly and efficiently. Push button switches are some of the most essential components of industrial automation, as they provide reliable and efficient control of certain processes. Push button switches can be used to initiate, stop, and reset various processes, as well as to provide feedback and other monitoring functions. What Are Push Button Switches ? Push button switches (also known as pushbutton switches) constitute a class of electrical actuators, typically made of metal or thermoplastic, that are capable of closing or opening electrical circuits into which they are integrated. They can be used to initiate or halt a process, kill the power to a system, and more. They can be both panel-mounted or surface-mounted, depending on the design and the needs of the circumstances. Like other types of switches, they are used to open or close electrical circuits, either facilitating or interr...
