Do you know the usual applications for stack lights?

/in /by
Stack Lights are used in similar applications to beacon lights/strobes, however the information they typically display encompasses more machine/process conditions.

ONN Stack lights’ common applications include, but are not limited to:

  • Productivity monitoring (often rate-based machine output management with parts-per-hour displays). Uptime & downtime monitoring (overall equipment effectiveness) is a very common use for these devices.
  • Warning indication and machine fault management.
  • Lean manufacturing – 5S Initiatives.
  • In conjunction with SCADA supervisory control systems and user interface/HMIs: SCADA/HMIs provide more specific machine/process status data; stack lights complement them by providing visual/audible feedback away from the machine operator console.
  • Assembly station workcells.
  • Maintenance call stations.
  • CNC machining equipment and process monitoring and feedback.
  • Broadcast studios (commonly used in broadcast radio studios) to display status of things such as a studio on air, live microphones, phone calls and even as a doorbell in an environment where silent indication is critical.
  • Dispatch centers where the dispatcher frequently uses a headset making it difficult to tell when the dispatcher is on the phone or radio. The light will light one color when the radio is keyed and another when on the phone.

How to judge your machine status by a light？

/in /by

Do you know how to quickly and easily judge the working status of your machine tool?

One stack light can do it!

Stack lights (also known as signal tower lights, indicator lights, andon lights, warning lights, industrial signal lights, or tower lights) are commonly used on equipment in industrial manufacturing and process control environments to provide visual and audible indicators of a machine’s status. They are a form of andon: a manufacturing system that identifies errors as they happen.

Stack lights are used in a variety of machines and process environments; specific colour-coding is assigned by the system designer.

Commonly used colour codes for machine state conditions include:

RED: Failure conditions such as an emergency stop or machine fault

YELLOW: Warnings such as over-temperature or over-pressure conditions

GREEN: Normal machine or process operation

BLUE: External help request, where an operator might be requesting raw materials, scheduling or maintenance personnel assistance

WHITE: User-defined conditions to a specific machine, often related to productivity monitoring

Optionally an audible alarm buzzer, typically in the range of 70–105dB, may be added to alert machine operators to high priority conditions.
