Need Recommendations for Swing Arm Electrical Operator HMI Panel

alive15 · Dec 5, 2019

Hello, I am looking to order an electrical panel to add to the front of the machine, which will have HMI, e-stop, and e-return. Something similar to the picture in link below:

I would like to order from Mcmaster, but did not see on their website. Could anyone recommend a very common, but strong brand or part # ?

Thanks!

Open Google and enter in the search box ( swing arm mount ).
It should return a number of images of various swing arms and distributors for them. Use the arrow on the right side to see more choices.

Yes, that was the first thing I did haha; I am looking for other engineers or techs inputs on the ones they have used and had the most success with. A description saying "my swing arm is the best, order me now" is only as true as you believe it to be, but someone's experience is worth more to me!

I have used strong arm in the past with good results.

A bit OT but how do you manage heat dissipation with such a small box.

I have some of the StrongArm "Terminal Mount" types, over hot-boxes, and I run small chill-water coolers on the bottoms of them.

For less harsh environments, just an air/air heat exchanger works well.

Hoffman makes one just like your picture. www.hoffmanonline.com

We no longer use the ones like your picture because they can loosen over time. I prefer Strongarm for new installations.
