Description
The TER Alpha Pendant Control Station is for auxiliary control with an innovative and modern design, where all the graphic elements refer to specific technical functions.
Resulting from a thorough analysis of the ergonomic features combined with the research of a graphic style suitable for a modern industrial environment, Alpha is easy to handle through its size and shape.
FEATURES of the Alpha Pendant Control Station:
- Reduced installation and wiring time and costs: the switches feature terminals facing the cable clamp of the control station and screws on the opposite site to facilitate wiring.
- The control station has an angle of inclination giving the operator the best view of all the control elements and enabling a natural, comfortable working position.
- The emergency stop mushroom pushbutton complies with standard EN 418.
- Positive opening NC contacts for safety functions.
- Mechanical life of switches: 1 million operations.
- IP protection degree: Alpha is classified IP65.
- Extreme temperature resistance: -25°C to+70°C.
- All materials and components used are wear resistant and guarantee protection of the unit against water and dust.
Options
- Available in configurations from 2 to 13 actuators arranged on a double row.
- Single or double switches with NO or NC contacts featuring one or two speeds.
- Wide range of actuators: pushbuttons, selector switches and key-selector switches in various operation configurations, pilot lights, latched mushrooms pushbuttons with rotation release or key-operated.
- Available with label (symbols and lettering) to be stuck next to the actuators.
TER has acquired decades of experience in designing and manufacturing control stations, providing now four series of pendant control stations or wall-mounted control stations, for auxiliary and direct control, used to command and control industrial machinery. control stations are used in particular in industrial and construction lifting plants to control gantry cranes, track cranes, jib cranes, wall-mounted jib cranes, tower cranes and winches for construction sites; in the automation industry to command and control systems to manage machines and processes, thus reducing the need for human intervention; in stage technology to control the equipment used to move stage sets, curtains etc.; in the waste disposal industry to control the movement of machines and equipment.
TER range of control stations includes three series of pushbutton stations for auxiliary control (two pendant control stations and one wall-mounted control station) and one series of pushbutton stations foe direct control, with 1 to 15 actuators depending on the unit requested.
Each project has been developed on the basis of specifications such as technicism, anthropomorphism, futurism and ergonomics to give the control stations an innovative design, where each graphic element is linked to a specific technical function. Dimensions and shapes are the result of careful analysis of the product ergonomic aspects, aimed at achieving a graphic style that blends in with modern industrial environments, making TER control stations extremely handy, user friendly and easy to integrate in the machine. Compact dimensions and antislip grooves on the cases make it easy to handle the control stations under any working conditions.
Each series of control stations has specific features which drastically reduce time and costs for installation and maintenance down time.
TER’s aim is to simplify the control of the machines equipped with its devices, designing reliable, ergonomic and intuitive safety products, capable of predicting the demands of the market and becoming the industry benchmark.
At the basis of this company mission is the will to establish a connection between market and company, by giving an increasingly central role to the sales department, seen as a continuous relationship between TER and its customers.
