    CL50 Pro Audible on Box Sealer
    Challenge: Conveying Box Sealer Statuses for Operator Guidance

    It is crucial for operators to quickly and easily determine machine statuses to ensure efficient processes throughout a factory. Any unexpected downtime is costly and reduces overall efficiency. In many factories, outdated indicators are used to differentiate a limited number of machine states. In a recent CPG application, operators were finding it difficult to identify issues on a box sealer and troubleshoot them appropriately. A solution was needed to better indicate a variety of complex statuses coming from the labeling machine.

    Solution: Display Dynamic, Multicolor Indication

    Technicians installed a QS18 in-line with the boxes and a CL50 Pro programmable column light above it on the box sealer. The highly visible CL50 Pro column light enabled better visual management by allowing operators to quickly check machine status. Using Pro Editor software, operators programmed the multicolor indicator to turn a specific color to match a specific machine status. That way, the light would turn different colors to indicate low throughput, jam detection, maintenance required, and machine shortage. They used an audible model to sound an alarm during high-alert states, such as machine down or maintenance critical. Installing the QS18 and CL50 column lights improved communication across the facility and reduced downtime by giving immediate attention to machine issues.

    Key Benefits

    Bright, Distinctive Indication

    Banner column lights are an effective way to provide at-a-glance status indication. Easily mount on a standoff pipe to communicate equipment conditions at a distance, or mount at operator level to quickly provide process guidance. The IP65 environmental rating and robust design make this device suitable for a variety of industrial environments, and the bright, even indication make for unmistakable changes of state so that operators can keep processes running smoothly.

    Compatible with Pro Editor Software or IO-Link Communication

    Choose between Pro Editor models or IO-Link models for customized indication possibilities. Pro Editor compatible models utilize an intuitive software interface for control via discrete inputs. Users can program colors, animations, intensities and even wiring inputs to customize devices to a machine or process. Distinct colors and animations can help users quickly and effectively interpret information in the visual factory. Alternatively, IO-Link models give full access to advanced animations that provide a dynamic response to changing machine conditions. There are many advantages of an IO-Link system, including standardized and reduced wiring, increased data availability, remote configuration and monitoring, simple device replacement, and advanced diagnostics.
