Applications for the EOS510 automatic machine sign

The EOS510 sign can be installed near a production machine, conveyor, powered door, remotely controlled equipment, robotic station, mechanical room or area where automatic start-up is possible according to site procedures. It helps remind users that a person should not rely only on the apparent stillness of equipment.

Material choice for an automatic machine sign

Choosing a sign depends on the right material, reading distance, work environment and required format. Self-adhesive vinyl is suited to clean, smooth and dry surfaces, especially indoors or in a protected location. Plastic can be used indoors or outdoors, but colours may fade faster if the sign is exposed to UV light. Aluminum is often recommended outdoors, at entrances, in workshops, docks and areas where impact is possible. UV-protecting lamination may slow fading, without preventing it permanently.
