Ground up design
27 July 2015
Available from distributor Switchtec, Sirena’s Elyps range of light towers features a ‘ground up’ design, offering machine builders and end users a range of light towers to meet the ever changing, increasingly demanding needs of the workplace.
Previous light towers had a wiring base and modules that were all voltage specific, requiring each separate component to be stocked in 24, 110 and 230V versions across all five colours as applicable. With the new Elyps range there is only one module per colour as the voltage is selected solely by the choice of base. This keeps module types and stocking levels down, and accordingly price too. In cross section, the Elyps light tower features an elliptical shape with dimensions of 70x50mm.
Depending on the requirement for one or more flashing modules, it is possible to generate the flashing pattern directly via a PLC (using a steady light stacklight), or to use the preset flashing patterns of each module, easing PLC programming and management operations.
