Light Tower

Published on : Tuesday 30-11--0001

Not only first-class visibility, modern RGB LED technology and an extremely long life time characterise this light tower. Moreover different modes can be easily configured via IO-Link or setting menu. The new light tower is of course also available as a standard version with binary inputs.

Light towers are used for status indication or as warning devices everywhere in factories on machines, conveyors and installations.

The innovative ifm light towers offer a series of advantages as compared to conventional devices and are therefore also suited for difficult applications. The patented technology provides for example a high contrast between the light spot of the LED and the environment. Since no metal components such as screws or connectors are exposed, the towers are particularly suited for use in the food industry as well as in medical, pharmaceutical or chemical applications.

In general light towers must be adapted to the application. Instead of spending time and effort on screwing modules of different colours together, the new RGB LED technology makes it possible to adjust the light tower as needed via IO-Link or setting button (e.g. permanently on, low flash rate, high flash rate, different colours, siren with seven different signal sounds). This reduces type variety and stock-keeping.

The smooth surface of the lamp body provides hardly any chance for water or dust.
