When the control is your best ally
Your trustworthy partner
The use of radio controls in overhead cranes provides enhanced safety, comfort, and flexibility for the operator, which in turn improves efficiency and productivity in loading and unloading operations.
One of the primary advantages of using radio controls in overhead cranes is the enhancement of safety and convenience for the operator.
HBC remote controls enable the operator to be independent and move within the work range at their convenience, at any time. The wireless remote can be operated from a safe distance or a secure location, with an optimal view of the work situation and minimal exposure to noise, dust, or vibrations.
Safety should not compromise the efficient functioning of the radio system and the machine; secure technology must also be highly available. Concepts such as redundancy in terms of software and hardware, along with intelligent frequency management processes, allow us to enhance both safety and availability, even with a growing number of radio users.
HBC wireless remote controls are optimally equipped for extreme requirements. Protection at work and safety while operating efficiently are fundamental principles at the core of the product concept. The HBC remote control safety chain consists of highly qualified input elements located on the mobile radio transmitter (e.g., joysticks, linear levers, switches), the radio transmission itself, the output elements of the radio receiver installed on the machine (e.g., relays, digital outputs, serial interfaces, bus systems, etc.), and includes the qualification of the electronics and software (also in terms of their diagnostic capability).
Micron Ex pendant control from HBC.
In addition to the standard buttons for hoist/crane movement, the pendant control may also feature other elements such as on/off buttons and switches, and indicator lights that display the status of the overhead crane.
Fostering a safe lifting workplace
HBC Ex, there is no safer equipment!
The explosion-proof HBC push-button control is a device used in hazardous or potentially explosive environments, such as chemical plants, oil refineries, or mines. It is designed to prevent the generation of sparks or flames that could cause an explosion.
This type of pendant control station is constructed from materials and components that are resistant to ignition and fire. For instance, it may be made of stainless steel or corrosion-resistant aluminum and feature a sealed enclosure to prevent the ingress of flammable gases or dust.
Our HBC pendant controls come with specific certifications and standards that ensure their safety in hazardous environments. For instance, they can comply with the ATEX (Atmospheres Explosibles) regulations in Europe or the NEC (National Electrical Code) standards in the United States.
