CPI Chips Away at Forestry OEM'sAnother industry that has discovered the special qualities of CPI waterproof limit switches is certainly in the area of forestry equipment manufacturers. Consider the operational characteristics of your average wood chipper:
CPI engineers created a form-fit-function replacement based on our E1 simulated roller design. A right and left version of the switch was created and the basic sealed momentary switch was sealed in santoprene insuring the highest immunity to dirt, sand, rain, vibration, and heat. In another application, the Brazilian company Lippel chose a similar switch for cam activated position sensing in their wood chipper application, for similar reasons of robustness. In the Lippel solution, three switches are used to detect the changing position of the cam, in this failsafe application. These switches are produced with custom lead lengths that are sealed at the switch end, making for easier assembly in production environments. Diverse Switching Requirements, One Common ManufacturerForestry and Agricultural equipment from lawn mowers, to sprayers, to chippers all the way to mining shovels and backhoe’s, are just a few of the types of equipment using CPI switches in the field. Applications include:
Originally posted: www.cpi-nj.com/blog/cpi-forestry-equipment-switches/ CPI Manufacturers a line of hand actuated pendant switches, that are completely waterproof, and designed for high vibration, high endurance applications in the industrial and military spaces. They are designed and made entirely in the USA.
It’s fair to say, these are not your mother’s pendants… The CPI switch story started over 70 years ago designing waterproof switches for the military back in WWII. That knowledge has evolved in this modern product line which see’s use in a wide variety of applications. Generally speaking, after folks get tired of in-field failures of those cheap offshore made imported switches, they end up at our door. CPI’s deceptively innocent looking pendant switches actually represent decades of switch research, field testing, and manufacturing advances that allow affordable US based mass production with incredible efficiency. These switches come in dozens of electrical configurations, with specifiable endurance ratings and contact parameters. CPI Pendant Switches – Primary Characteristics. Perhaps the most singular characteristic of this product line is simply that it’s really, really hard to break them. They are designed to last under extreme environmental use cases so as to be perfect for mission critical safety applications or operator hand actuated controls.
CPI Pendant Switch Applications The ways our clients have used our switches over the years is as diverse as your imagination.
CPI Pendant Switches are Unique Problem Solvers For Today’s Demands When the run-of-the-mill commercial pendant switches just won’t get the job done, our unique capabilities in waterproof pendant switch design might be just what you need. We’ve been making high endurance electromechanical switches for the toughest applications on planet earth for over 70 years. Is your application tough enough for our switches? Let’s find out..
