Signalling towers for industrial automation

Commonly used to report the status of a machine or process to operators, technicians, and production manage, they represent an indispensable device for informing the operator about errors or transmitting information on process needs, allowing an increase in productivity and better management of machine failures.

Offering reliability, efficiency, and ease of installation, Automax signalling columns are available in three sizes – 35mm, 50mm and 70mm diameter – and come in either round or elliptical shape. The different sizes and IP66 protection make them suitable for a range production environments, for example, large plants with the need for visible signalling from a distance, and industrial areas where personnel work near machines or heavy industries. 

Numerous mounting solutions are available, including wall brackets and extensions of different lengths and materials (TWS accessories). The latest multifunction LED technology allows for different lighting effects – continuous or flashing. There is also the option to add an acoustic signal by simply inserting the acoustic module in the combination.

The basic principle of any light tower is to provide a quick visual indication, warning or notification.  Most light towers are pre-assembled and have to be ordered in the required colour sequence, voltage and illumination type and are manufactured as a complete item. The Automax is available in both modular and preassembled versions.

Sirena’s Automax range provides flexibility to customers, stockists and distributors by the use of a modular system.  The customer simply orders the colours they need, output type (flashing or continuous), then by use of Sirena’s simple assembly mechanism, stack the colour modules in the order required.
