Industrial Signal Towers
Visual and auditory communication devices, such as industrial signal towers, are crucial to the operation of manufacturing facilities, assembly lines and other industrial environments. These signal tower lights convey the status of machines and processes to the humans working nearby. A typical tower consists of several stackable indicator lights that display either a steady state or some kind of dynamic pattern. The human operator can easily make use of the feedback provided by the tower because each color and pattern has a specific meaning in the context of machine operation. The operator knows what to look for and when to look for it, and that knowledge allows the operator to make better decisions and achieve a more efficient state of human-machine interaction.
Industrial signal lights can have extra elements that improve visibility and awareness in very noisy or complicated environments. These can be as simple as having very bright light effects that are different from any other lights in the vicinity, or as advanced as using stack lights that have flashing patterns different from any other signals in the area. Some also come with audible alarms as part of the package to really get one's attention. They can be made to withstand some very serious conditions, from the amount of dust that can get into machinery to the amount of moisture that can ruin electrical components in many industrial applications.

Industrial Enclosure Accessories & Modification
Common modifications or accessories that are used to enhance electrical cabinets.
Lighting kits. Lighting kits are often used in outdoor applications. There are many different styles of lighting kits that can be used, but LEDs have become the preferred lighting solution in the past several years.
Pressure switches. Pressure switches operate on a spring and react to the cabinet door opening and closing. They can be used for lights, intrusions alarms and exhaust fans.
Passive air vents. Passive air vents allow natural air circulation to flow through a cabinet providing proper ventilation.
Enclosure fans. Enclosure air fans are used when more ventilation is required. The size of the fan will depend on the size of the enclosure as well as the amount of air that needs to be circulated.
Air conditioners. Air conditioners are used when ambient air circulation is inadequate to cool the cabinet. The air conditioner size will depend on the enclosure size, ambient air temperature and heat generated within the cabinet.
Heaters. Heaters are used when a cabinet is located in areas that may be exposed to cold temperatures.
Locking mechanisms. Locking mechanisms are used to secure cabinets.
Conduit hole seals. Conduit hole seals are used on cabinets that have holes that need to be plugged after conduit has been removed.
