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
