HMI Pedestals & Bases
HMI pedestals and bases are used to securely support operator interface enclosures while improving accessibility, ergonomics, and visibility for machine operators. RSP Supply offers a wide selection of HMI pedestals and bases, including sloped front bases, swivel bases, tilt bases, and swivel-tilt combination bases designed for industrial control environments.
Swivel bases allow an HMI enclosure to rotate to a convenient operating position, typically up to 350 degrees, and can be locked at any point to maintain a fixed orientation. Swivel-tilt bases add an additional range of motion, allowing both rotation and forward or backward tilting—often up to 30 degrees from horizontal—for improved viewing angles and safer operation. These adjustable bases are commonly installed between the bottom of the HMI enclosure and the pedestal.
Pedestals are available in multiple heights and configurations, with or without legs, to accommodate different mounting requirements. Bolt-down pedestals and leg-mounted pedestals provide stable support for HMI enclosures used in manufacturing, automation, and process control applications. Proper selection of HMI pedestals and bases helps ensure secure mounting, operator comfort, and long-term system reliability.

FAQs
Q: What is the difference between an HMI and an OIT?
An HMI (Human Machine Interface) provides system-wide monitoring and control through software displayed on a screen, while an OIT (Operator Interface Terminal) typically provides localized monitoring and control for a single piece of equipment.
Q: What is a swivel base used for on an HMI enclosure?
A swivel base allows the HMI enclosure to rotate, giving operators flexibility to position the screen for optimal access and visibility.
Q: What additional benefit does a swivel-tilt base provide?
Swivel-tilt bases allow both rotation and tilting of the HMI enclosure, improving ergonomics and viewing angles for operators.
Q: Are HMI pedestals available in different heights?
Yes, HMI pedestals are available in various heights, typically ranging from low-profile options to taller configurations for floor-mounted installations.
Q: How are HMI enclosures mounted to pedestals?
HMI enclosures are mounted using tapped mounting holes on the pedestal top, allowing attachment of swivel, tilt, or fixed bases depending on the application.
