Signaling solutions for logistics and production
Different colors - different operating states: processes can now be easily visualized with the parameterizable LED strips and signal lights from item. There is a choice of different systems that can be individually configured.
It flashes, it flashes, it lights up - in production and logistics, it is extremely advantageous if operating statuses can be recognized from afar. This is now possible with the new signaling solutions from item. Users can choose from an extensive range. Multi-segment RGB LED strips are available, whose LEDs can be controlled individually. The strips can therefore light up in several colors as well as in a single, freely selectable color. The length of the LED strips can be individually configured and thus perfectly adapted to the existing requirements. The illuminated strip is available in lengths of 1 meter, 2 meters, 3 meters and 6 meters and can be shortened as required in sections of 17 millimetres. The LED strip can be installed in just a few minutes: It can simply be attached along the groove using LED sheathing profile 8. The system can be easily integrated into the production control system using the IO-Link Controller specially developed by item. Individual parameterization is possible via the standardized IO-Link communication technology. There is a choice of four operating modes: segment display, countdown, fill level and marking light. The IO-Link controller can also be easily and securely fixed in the slot. Possible areas of application include machine cabins, workstations or picking stations. The colored display immediately shows which process status has just been reached.
Extensive portfolio for versatile use
In addition to the light strip, item also offers ready-to-install multi-segment RGB lights in three lengths that can be adjusted in color and brightness via IO-Link. A diffuser cover specially designed for the luminaire creates a uniform light pattern. The new 3-segment RGB signal lights are perfect as classic machine traffic lights, as all three segments can be controlled individually. Colors and light functions such as flashing or blinking can be set individually. The 3-segment RGB signal light is also optionally available with a buzzer. The new 1-segment RGB signal light is ideal for use as a status light in production and logistics. It is extremely robust, has an encapsulated housing and meets all the requirements of protection class IP67. Colors and flashing patterns can also be defined for this light via IO-Link. All in all, item's new signalling solutions are the perfect addition to the item Building Kit System for visualizing process steps in production and intralogistics or machine statuses.
