Get more support for your HMI enclosures with a suspension system built to meet your requirements. Hoffman’s new SYSPEND™ 281-MAX provides heavy-duty HMI suspension up to a maximum load capacity of 281 lbs. With flexible configuration built around a modular design, the 281-MAX provides an aesthetically pleasing solution for use in a wide range of process control applications where an enclosure needs to be ergonomically repositioned for various users or positioned out of the way for cleaning, storage or safety considerations.

Modern modular design and easy installation.The 281-MAX facilitates user-friendly installation and re-adjustment so the system does not need to be disassembled or calibrated off-site. Simply select from a series of tubes—with multiple lengths available—as well as elbows, adapters and more to build the perfect suspension system for your application. Vertical motion tubes provide versatile, height-adjustable solutions for pedestal mounting.

15 The October Connection 2013

Because of the complexity indus-trial control that is currently being installed in factory automation, the need for a thorough understanding and knowledge of equipment is imperative to keep your company productive and profitable. Training from Allen-Bradley can reduce downtime because employees trained on equipment can solve problems faster. It also maximizes utilization of equipment because personnel knowledgeable about all performance capabilities of equip-ment will use those capabilities to the best advantage and potential. Additionally, Allen-Bradley’s train-ing increases worker participation towards your company’s goals and objectives. Many productive suggestions for solving ongoing problems and increasing produc-tivity come from workers who fully understand control equipment.
