Eaton Signal Towers
Eaton signal towers, also referred to as stack lights, are industrial beacons that provide highly visible and audible status indication for manufacturing, automation, and control applications. They enable machine builders and facility managers to clearly communicate standard operation, caution, warning, troubleshooting or an emergency stop to plant workers, which can help to minimize downtime and reduce the risk of accidents.
Eaton signal towers are available in both modular and compact configurations. Modular signal towers enable users to create a custom combination of LED color modules and optional audible sounder modules that can be stacked together to meet specific requirements. Compact signal towers are ideal for situations where space is at a premium and combine multiple functions in one device. Eaton’s signal towers employ long-life LEDs to provide consistent, bright illumination that can withstand the rigors of continuous industrial use.
The signal towers’ durable housings provide high levels of ingress protection (IP) to ensure reliable operation in challenging industrial plant environments, automation systems, and control panels. Modular and compact signal towers are widely used in conveyor systems, robotic cells, packaging equipment, motor control centers, and process automation. Eaton signal towers operate with standard industrial control voltages, are easily connected to PLCs, relays and control circuits, and provide flexible mounting capabilities.
FAQs
What are Eaton signal towers used for?
