Foremost Electronics, the engineering-led Essex based importer and specialist distributor of electromechanical components offers a wide range of manufacturing and machine building solutions for industrial systems.
Emergency stop switches are required in many industrial and process control applications including alarms, emergency equipment and mchine shutdown and exit access. Foremost supply a wide range of rugged, high reliability emergency stop switches from the IDEC e-stop series. Using patented 3rd generation safety technology with reverse energy structure they provide optimal safety by conforming to international approvals: UL, TUV, ATEX, CE, and CCC. Many versions are fitted with “safe brake action technology” ensuring fail-safe operation even if the switch actuator is not properly positioned, has been damaged or is detached. Estop XW Series feature a smooth button design for applications requiring a clean environment where dust build up isn’t permitted i.e. food processing machines, medical equipment etc. and illuminated versions are available.The LD6A Signalight Towers are ergonomically designed for instant visual and audible recognition and combine the latest LED illumination with safety technology. This new concept features an innovative striped design Improving visibility. LD6A light towers are ideal for factory automation, may be mounted on machines and are sealed up to IP65. The lens shape offers visibility in all directions and can include an alarm which can be heard in noisy areas
The icotek IMAS-CONNECT ™ adapter system is a hybrid modular grommet system for mounting connectors, keystone couplers, hose fittings, pressure compensation elements and much more. Pre-terminated and standard cables or hoses can be routed, and it is possible integrate various types of connectivity ports into the frame system. Additional knock-outs are no longer required. The elastomer-made grommets of the adapter system have a body made of polyamide or nickel-plated brass, meet IP54 or IP65 protection levels and fit existing icotek cable entry frames, such as KEL-U, KEL-ER, KEL-FG
EMC protection of cable entries may be achieved using icotek EMC-KEL-U 24 EMC cable entry frames. They are designed with a conductive surface allowing disturbances in the cable shields on a control cabinet to be easily dissipated, while field bound disturbances are derived by the metallisation. A conductive flat gasket (included) is mounted between the EMC-KEL-U 24 and the metal wall to ensure correct operation.
Neutrik powerCON environmentally sealed connectors feature the proprietary TRUE OUTDOOR PROTECTION (TOP) for demanding outdoor and harsh environment applications. The range includes lockable plugs, sockets, power and extension cords. These ruggedised sealed connectors feature not only IP protection but also UV resistance approved according to UL50E. Applications include the heavy-duty requirements of industrial systems, signs and LED screens or lighting.
The Foremost range of USB connected, hall effect joysticks suit a variety of markets including machine control, manufacturing operations, instrumentation and inspection. IP Joysticks are cost effective and simple to use. They may also be used in a wide variety of security camera applications including premises monitoring CCTV. Foremost also supply PTZ controllers with USB HID interface.
