Components for railway applications and rolling stock
16 rail transport l automation COMPONENTS FOR RAILWAY APPLICATIONS Turck, s.r.o. has long been one of the leading suppliers of automation equipment. The production program also includes a number of products suitable for railway applications. In particular, these are various types of sensors, internal or external buttons, LED lights and indicator lights, sound signalling devices, electromechanical and semiconductor relays, time relays, and other products. Electromechanical durable buttons d Controls in the form of various electromechanical buttons are among the basic components that no vehicle can do without. Due to the demands of weather, temperature, vibration, and impact conditions, all these components in railway and associated other transport applications must feature high mechanical resistance and electrical reliability, while providing ease of cleaning and high visibility for users/passengers. For example, the TSL-ESCHA HST line of electromechanical push buttons are intended for installation on bars or walls in vehicle interiors. This product line offers a large selection of colours, text, pictograms, and two-colour backlighting with a durable cover. Versions with Braille and raised pictograms meet all the requirements for passengers with special needs. Text and pictograms are protected by scratch-resistant and vandal-resistant polyamide. Among the most interesting new products is the outdoor button of the TSLESCHA PK52 line with an acoustic signalling device and robust exchangeable special 2020 T+T Technika a trh various situations can be indicated, including the entry or exit of a disabled person or door failure. The rounded cover provides good visibility from all directions in a timeless design. The TL80 is a compact signal light for applications with limited installation space providing a warning function for slippery stairs or ramps. They are also suitable as orientation lighting. Variants with laminated safety glass make indicator lights more resistant cover. With its technical features and modular concept, this type is ideal for new trams, metro cars, railway cars, trolleybuses, and buses, or for retrofits of vehicles and other special equipment. LED lighting and indicators d Lighting components providing lighting and coordination and safety applications are an important part of the exterior and interior of rail and other transport or special vehicles. Whether located in the interior of the car/compartment, corridors, door areas or toilet cubicles, or at the boarding stairs and doors, it is always necessary to use a long-lasting lighting design with suitable light modes that work reliably in extreme temperatures or frost, and dusty or high humidity environments. TSL-ESCHA LED lights have optimal lateral perception and brightness, providing passengers with comfortable boarding, exiting, and remaining inside the vehicle, even for people with reduced mobility or hearing or visual impairments. For example, the new line of the PL13 indicator linear LED lights is intended for the safe and clear indication of the vehicle door status. With four switchable colours, to vandalism. These lights can also be used in a number of other demanding and special applications in the area of vehicle equipment. The LS series LED strip supports the safety of passengers with distinctive door indicators that indicate the opening and closing of the door. This product can be used to illuminate the entire closing edge or it can be attached all around the door indicating its status. The advantages of this solution include the absolute homogeneity of the emitted light, creating a perfect design of the door and the vehicle. Audible indicators d Audible indicator devices are durable acoustic modules designed for easy installation in a vehicle, for example, to indicate the opening and closing of doors, or emergency messages. Protection up to IP67 and a temperature range of –40 to +80 °C allow for use in all climatic conditions. Versions with different sound sequences or with adjustable volume are available. The key advantage of these indicators is their adaptable volume. The configuration module makes it easy to make individual settings for each application and deliveries are available from 1 piece.
