Description
The TER Charlie Pendant Control Station is compact-sized for auxiliary control. Modern user-friendly design, developed by an industrial design firm on technical, anthropomorphic, futuristic and ergonomic specifications. Easy to handle and designed to reduce installation time and costs and maintenance down time.
FEATURES OF THE CHARLIE PENDANT CONTROL STATION
- Reduced time and costs for installation and wiring: the switches are assembled inside the pendant station without screws, with all the terminals facing the cable inlet and screws in the opposite direction to facilitate wiring.
- A threaded ring is used to secure the enclosure and cover, providing easy access to the internal components without any need for tools or screws.
- Thanks to the hollow handle the control station can be quickly and easily set down onto a pin.
- The emergency stop mushroom pushbutton complies with standard EN 418.
- Mechanical life of switches: 1 million operations.
- IP protection degree: Charlie is classified IP65.
- Extreme temperature resistance: -25°C to +70°C.
- All materials and components used are wear resistant and guarantee protection of the unit against water and dust.
OPTIONS
- Available in configuration with 2 or 3 actuators.
- Single switches with NO or NC contacts and double switches with NO contacts, one or two speeds, with electrical interlock to prevent simultaneous operation of opposite functions.
TER has acquired decades of experience in designing and manufacturing control stations, providing now four series of pendant control stations or wall-mounted control stations, for auxiliary and direct control, used to command and control industrial machinery. control stations are used in particular in industrial and construction lifting plants to control gantry cranes, track cranes, jib cranes, wall-mounted jib cranes, tower cranes and winches for construction sites; in the automation industry to command and control systems to manage machines and processes, thus reducing the need for human intervention; in stage technology to control the equipment used to move stage sets, curtains etc.; in the waste disposal industry to control the movement of machines and equipment.
TER range of control stations includes three series of pushbutton stations for auxiliary control (two pendant control stations and one wall-mounted control station) and one series of pushbutton stations foe direct control, with 1 to 15 actuators depending on the unit requested.
Each project has been developed on the basis of specifications such as technicism, anthropomorphism, futurism and ergonomics to give the control stations an innovative design, where each graphic element is linked to a specific technical function. Dimensions and shapes are the result of careful analysis of the product ergonomic aspects, aimed at achieving a graphic style that blends in with modern industrial environments, making TER control stations extremely handy, user friendly and easy to integrate in the machine. Compact dimensions and antislip grooves on the cases make it easy to handle the control stations under any working conditions.
Each series of control stations has specific features which drastically reduce time and costs for installation and maintenance down time.
TER’s aim is to simplify the control of the machines equipped with its devices, designing reliable, ergonomic and intuitive safety products, capable of predicting the demands of the market and becoming the industry benchmark.
At the basis of this company mission is the will to establish a connection between market and company, by giving an increasingly central role to the sales department, seen as a continuous relationship between TER and its customers.
