Flush mounting control and signalling units for smart manufacturing equipment

RS Components has added the Schneider Electric Harmony XB4F series of flush mounting pushbuttons, selector switches and pilot lights to its product portfolio. Created for use in industrial automation and smart manufacturing applications, the series gives new machines and control panels an attractive, modern and ergonomic look and feel, and is also ideal for upgrading existing equipment without the high cost.

The series is part of the company’s broader Harmony XB4 range of modular metal control and signalling units, which combine simplicity of installation, efficiency, flexibility and robustness. Characterised by a chromium-plated metal bezel, XB4 units feature an ingenious locking system consisting of a snap-fit head and body, secured with a single screw, and contacts designed to prevent vibration, helping to ensure easy yet secure mounting and wiring.

The series retains all the qualities of the original range, and also features 30mm-diameter bezels mounted flush with the panel for a more elegant, contemporary appearance at no additional cost.

There are a wide range of device specifications, plus a pallet of vibrant button, switch and LED colours to enhance panel design and ergonomics, define a customised style, and enhance the perceived quality of target machines and panels.

All of these control and signalling units are IP66, IP66K, IP67 and IP69 rated to ensure reliable operation.
