Modular LED signal tower
15 June 2016
According to Werma, the guidelines for the provision of visual and audible warning indicators on machines and equipment are quite vague. The Machinery Directive offers guidance but little in the way of ‘you must....’. It is more a case of applying 'good practice' to ensuring safety in the workplace.
Visible and audible warning lights on a machine or workstation generally indicate a change in status and may also warn of an error in machine operation or a malfunction. Staff working in the vicinity of equipment need to be aware of the change in machine status.
The new Werma KombiSIGN 40 signal tower can be assembled and installed in less than 5 minutes. In the past the user of signal towers would have to choose between flexibility and reducing the part number count. The new “twin light elements” offer two functions in just one component. A small dip switch allows you to select either a permanent or flashing light effect for different working conditions - easy to switch without the need special tools.
