This month's success story highlights specifically our newest product release – a new, sleek, sophisticated designed 22mm Push Button and Selector product family including pushbuttons, single, double and triple versions, emergency stops, and selector switches.
Several nice features of the Platinum line impressed our machine builder, but the one major feature functionality won the business – IP69K. This application was specifically targeted to a food and beverage OEM and IP69K was an absolute. Plus, they were upgrading all their equipment to a more state of the art design and wanted the operator interface buttons to reflect that design.
The Platinum series offers a newer, updated outer design filled with features that far surpass 95% of the competition:
- IP ratings of IP65, IP66, IP67, IP69K and UL type 4X outdoor
- aaaaa
- Reduced total inside panel depth and low bezel profile
- Switches available in standard 22mm size
- Rugged modular design features a unique rear-of-panel mounting
- Contacts are double break with positive opening and are self-cleaning
- The actuator sealing gasket has a "gripping action / suction effect" to the mounting surface
- Anti-rotation fastener which collapses inside the gasket to allow fitting also when drilled holes are round, without reference index
- Quick fixing on mounting surface using the bezel threaded ring
AND Platinum product offers quick & easy installation:
- Adapter is a single plastic unit.
- Clearly visible reference indications make snap-on fitting between the actuator and mounting adapter simple.
- Screw driver removal
