Charlie pendant control station
zoom in
Charlie pendant station is suitable for control of any industrial machinery. It operates as an auxiliary controller of an electrical motor through a power interface, such as a contactor or PLC. Designed for heavy duty, Charlie is an ideal solution for industrial applications.
Design
Charlie has been developed by industrial designers who have linked all the graphic elements to specific technical functions. We have combined our knowledge in the field of technicism, anthropomorphism, futurism and ergonomics to create an absolutely unique product. The small size of the device facilitates its use under any environmental and working conditions, while the modern shape makes Charlie very handy.
Features
The threaded ring ensures protection of the enclosure and cover, and provides easy access to the internal components without using screwdrivers or other tools. The switches are mounted inside the pendant station without using screws and are equipped with connectors facing the cable clamp and screws on the opposite side to facilitate wiring operations. All electrical connections use screw-type terminals. The emergency stop mushroom button complies with EN 418 standard and is equipped with a positive opening NC (normally closed) switch.
Materials
Materials and components of the portable stations are wear, dust and water resistant. Charlie is available with different labels and colours.
