EAO Anti-Vandal Solutions
EAO offers a wide range of anti-vandal products that are designed for human-machine interfaces (HMIs). These anti-vandal solutions safeguard against equipment failure, ensuring end-user safety. Protection of the HMI system is crucial, making stainless steel a popular choice due to its high strength, and incorporated features like flush-panel mounting and lens styles prevent intentional breakage with low-profile designs. Additionally, oil and watertight construction is essential to keep liquids or chemicals from penetrating the equipment, protecting operators from harm and reducing downtime.
These products offer various protection ratings since HMI devices need to be rated because they fall within the IEC definition of an enclosure. The rating ensures the device has been tested according to international standards, providing a more detailed measure than generic marketing terms like "waterproof." EAO supplies both sealed and anti-vandal HMI components and HMI systems for various markets, including machinery and automation, public transport, automotive design, heavy-duty vehicles, and many other applications that require interactions between humans and machines.
