Product Description
Safety is a top priority in
many manufacturing plants.
Existing equipment used in
manufacturing applications
may not have the necessary
hardware that minimizes risks
associated with operation and
maintenance.
The EMS panel provides a
simple solution to enhance
the safety of existing
equipment, minimizing risk
to operators and increasing
overall safety of the
equipment.
Application Description
Most smaller equipment and
older equipment are operated
by a maintained ON/OFF
control switch. A power loss
when the control switch in
the ON position could result
in unprepared or unintended
operation when the power is
restored. This could put
operators at risk.
Additionally, most older or
smaller equipment do not
include an emergency stop
operator, which provides a
means to more easily stop
the machine operation in the
event of an emergency.
Machinery should also be
equipped with a disconnect
means that can be padlocked
in the OFF position during
maintenance activities. This
prevents operation of the
panel while the equipment is
being serviced.
The EMS panel is designed
to be retrofitted to existing
equipment.
