WERMA Signal Towers

Signal towers are devices used in industrial and commercial settings to provide visual and audible signals to communicate status, warnings, and alarms. These towers typically consist of multiple lights or lamps of different colours, which are stacked vertically in a tower-like structure. The colours of the lights in a signal tower usually correspond to specific meanings. For example, green may indicate that a machine or process is running normally, yellow may indicate a warning or caution, and red may indicate an emergency or stoppage. Some signal towers also include audible alarms or horns to provide an additional warning.

Signal towers are often used in manufacturing plants, warehouses, and other industrial settings to indicate the status of machines or conveyors, to signal the need for maintenance or repair, or to alert workers to potential hazards or emergencies. They can be automated to respond to changes in machine or process status, or they can be manually controlled. Overall, signal towers are an important tool for maintaining safety and efficiency in industrial settings by providing clear and effective communication of information to workers.

Where are LED signal towers used?

Manufacturing plants: Signal towers can be used to signal when a machine is operating normally, or when there is a problem or malfunction that requires attention.Warehouses and distribution centres: Signal towers can be used to indicate when a loading dock is occupied, or when a shipment is ready for pickup.Transportation and logistics: Signal towers can be used to indicate the status of traffic lights, railway signals, or airport runways.Food and beverage processing: Signal towers can be used to indicate when a production line is in operation, or when there is a problem with a piece of equipment.Pharmaceuticals and healthcare: Signal towers can be used to indicate the status of medical equipment, such as a sterilization unit or an X-ray machine.

What type of light effects do signal towers have?

Steady illumination: This is the most basic light effect, in which the LED lights remain steadily illuminated without any flashing or other effects. This is often used as a basic warning or indication signal.

Flashing: The LED lights can be set to flash at regular intervals to create a warning or alert signal. This is commonly used in emergency situations or to draw attention to potential hazards**.**

Strobe: Strobe lighting involves rapidly flashing the LED lights, creating a pulsing effect that can be used to create a more attention-grabbing warning signal.

Dimming: LED light towers can be set to dim the lights gradually, creating a more subtle warning or indication signal that doesn't draw as much attention as flashing or strobing.

Colour changes: LED light towers can be set to change colours, which can be used to indicate different states or conditions. For example, a green light may indicate that a process is running normally, while a red light may indicate a problem.

Custom programming: Some LED light towers can be programmed with custom light effects, allowing for more complex and customized signalling.
