Laempe & Mössner is equipping its core shooting machines with Rittal’s support arm and housing systems. Processes within the system are managed by a programmable logic controller. The human-machine interface comprises a panel PC with a touch screen, which enables the user to operate the equipment and to monitor current status.
This, along an emergency off switch, signal pillars, valves and a pressure indicator, are contained in compact housings from the company's Comfort Panel range.
Each housing is divided into three sections. The panel PC is mounted in the centre, whilst the lower third accommodates the switches, signal pillars and other control and display features. Pressure and vacuum indicators and valves to control the pneumatic and vacuum systems are contained in the top part of the housing. This enables a significant degree of standardisation as it a logical arrangement, with a spacious layout.
A solution based on Rittal’s CP 120 support arm system mounts the housing securely on the machine. Pivital to choosing this support arm system was its strength, as this has been an area where problems have occurred with previous vendors’ products in the past.
