The gallery shows a number of examples of control panels we’ve designed and built over the years.  Some are simple pressure or vacuum control panels, others are more complex 3- and 4-Group Cascade Systems.

An Airlane control panel is designed with several conditions in mind:

The application environment:
  • Enclosure material includes GRP, Mild Steel or Stainless Steel
  • Solid or transparent doors to view internal indicators
  • External fittings supplied in Plastic, Brass or Stainless steel
  • We can also supply thermostatically-controlled heaters to prevent freezing during the cold winter months 
Clarity of piping
  • We use tubing in up to eight colours for ease of indentification
  • Polyurethane tubing is used as standard due to its flexibility compared to nylon
  • We can, however, use copper, aluminium or stainless steel, depending on the application
Internal wiring
  • All wires numbered clearly
  • All ends include ‘boot lace’ crimped ends
  • DIN rail mounted terminal rails
  • Solenoids can include LED indicators
Ease of access
  • All components are mounted onto the back plate using bolts into drilled and tapped holes. No Loose nuts spinning in the back of the panel
  • Removal and replacement of the components is very simple. No need to dismantle the panel to upgrade one part.
Signage and labelling
  • Basic – Dymo self-adhesive labels
  • Permanent – ‘Traffolite’ Two colour engraved labels
  • ‘Mimic’ Panel – can be supplied with instructions, schematic and additional indication built-in
Air preparation
  • Lockable shut-off valves are mounted externally, preferably
  • Automatic drains on filters are piped externally when mounted inside the cabinet
Installation
  • We can install the panel on site either:-
    • Directly to your machine
    • On a wall local to the application
    • Mounted on a purpose built stand
  • We can then run the tubing to the correct actuators or point of use
  • All external tubing is colour-coded the same colour as the internal tubing
Documentation
  • A laminated, colour-coded copy of the schematic diagram can be provided inside the cabinet
  • A fully-detailed parts list order form can also be included
