Sirena ’ s Automax Signalling Towers : Essential for Industrial Automation
Distributed by Switchtec , Sirena ’ s Automax range of signalling towers are an essential component in the production process , control , and industrial automation . They are commonly used to report the status of a machine or process to operators , technicians , and production manager . Therefore , they represent an indispensable device for informing the operator about errors or transmitting information on process needs , allowing an increase in productivity and better management of machine failures .
Reliability , efficiency , and ease of installation are the key factors that operators demand from a signal tower and Sirena has met those needs with the Automax range .
The Automax signalling columns are available in three sizes 35mm , 50mm and
70mm diameter and come in either round or elliptical shape . The different sizes and the IP66 high degree of protection make them a solution applicable in many different production environments : large plants with the need for visible signalling from a distance and industrial areas where personnel work near machines or heavy industries . The Automax offers further versatility thanks to the numerous mounting solutions , including wall brackets and extensions of different lengths and materials ( TWS accessories ). The latest multifunction LED technology allows you to manage different lighting effects – continuous or flashing . There is also the option to add an acoustic signal by simply inserting the acoustic module in the combination .
The basic principle of any light tower is to provide a quick visual indication , warning or notification . Most light towers are preassembled and have to be ordered in the required colour sequence , voltage and illumination type and are manufactured as a complete item . The Automax is available in both modular and preassembled versions .
Sirena ’ s Automax range provides flexibility to customers , stockists and distributors by the use of a modular system . The customer simply orders the colours they need , output type ( flashing or continuous ), then by use of Sirena ’ s simple assembly mechanism , stack the colour modules in the order required .
