Construction machinery.
Complete fascination with robust design.
Reliable off-road vehicles: our HMI control units for heavy duty vehicles will pass any endurance test. That means you benefit from consistency, reliability and absolute control.
What our HMIs can do for construction machinery.
Robust and reliable HMIs for every application.
From hardwired solutions to systems with CAN Bus connection and programmable RGB-illuminated feedback: EAO has the right HMI Solution for you.
For toughest conditions
Construction vehicles and machinery have to withstand harshest conditions: dust, mud, water, snow, chemicals and much more. Even arctic cold and desert heat. Whatever the conditions, HMI control units from EAO enable you to work quickly, precisely and safely at all times, whether with excavators, loaders or roller compacters.
Everything for your safety at work
Lifting and moving applications for forklift, cranes, telehandlers and wireless remote-controlled applications require highly precise HMI control. This is crucial for your safety at work. You also need to be able to intuitively and precisely control parameter settings for vehicle and machine operation. This also applies for the HMI control units on road construction vehicles, crawler drills and mining machinery; thanks to our HMI control units, you are guaranteed just what you need.
Solutions with HMI Functions.
Various tools full of individuality.
Keypad.
Durable, functional and safe.
The modules are designed for E1 applications and are suitable for safety-relevant applications in accordance with DIN EN ISO 13849. The CAN bus connection ensures an intelligent and free programmability. The robust, modular design with sealing levels of up to IP6K9K according to DIN ISO 20653 and the ability to customize and individually select and arrange the keypad legends make these high-quality devices ideally suited for harsh use in heavy duty and special vehicles.
Advantages
- Robust, ergonomic and innovative design sealed up to IP6K9K protection
- Suitable for functional safety applications according to DIN EN ISO 13849
- Intelligent HMIs with CAN bus integration
- Programmable 4-segment RGB halo ring illumination for function feedback
- High flexibility due to interchangeable ISO 7000 or customised symbols
Series 09 Protective Shroud
The robust and shock-resistant Series 09 Protective Shroud not only provides reliable protection against unintentional actuation and operating errors, but also serves to comply with specific standards in various areas of application. For example, the EN1501-1:2021 standard requires all control and monitoring units on the outside of garbage trucks to be secured against accidental actuation or contact. The new Protective Shroud of Series 09 separates the individual push buttons. The additional guidance of the fingers makes it easy to operate the desired function even when wearing work gloves.
- Prevention of unintentional actuation
- Finger guidance and separation of the individual push buttons
- Reduced risk of operating errors
Joystick.
Powerful. Robust and individual.
EAO offers you numerous joysticks for rugged use in a wide variety of applications. Suitable for vehicles, machines, medical technology or radio remote controls. The joysticks are available in standard and individually configurable versions for HMI Solutions.
Typical applications
- Commercial vehicles
- Special vehicles
- Marine, rail and electric vehicles
- Machinery
- Medical technology
- Numerous other applications
Emergency stop switch.
Protecting people and machines.
EAO's emergency stop switches are designed to reliably protect people from injury and prevent damage to machines, systems or vehicles, even in harsh environments and in tight installation conditions. Emergency stop switches with positive opening function (in accordance with DIN EN ISO 13850 and EN 60204-1) primarily serve to protect people. Emergency stop switches are always foolproof. They are easily recognisable by the red lens with yellow actuator or yellow protective shroud.
Advantages
- 100% switching reliability and foolproof, even in harsh environments
- Low back panel depth
- Large range of minimum and maximum switch ratings
- Illuminated
- Resistant to impact, vibration and shock
- Usable down to – 40 °C
- Very long service life for mechanical and electrical components
- Available with standards-compliant protective shroud
Push button.
Reliable with premium haptics.
Universally applicable actuators and indicators: push buttons from EAO are the right choice if reliability and first-class haptics are what counts for you.
Push buttons are ideal for mechanical engineering, control engineering, public and private passenger transport, lifting and conveying systems, heavy duty and special vehicles, and the automotive industry.
Advantages
- Intuitive to use
- Excellent haptic feedback
- Large selection of operation areas
- Wide range of colours for lenses
- Wide variety of symbols and markings, including customer-specific options
- Very long service life for mechanical and electrical components
- Wide range of minimum and maximum switching ratings
Illuminated push button.
Worldwide standard from the pioneer.
The unrivalled original: EAO is the pioneer of illuminated push buttons. Since their development in 1958, these modular actuators and indicators are found in many applications and have been in rigorous use all over the world, thanks to their reliable visual feedback.
Advantages
- Intuitive to use
- Excellent haptic feedback
- Large selection of operation areas
- Wide range of colours for lenses and illumination
- Wide variety of symbols and markings, including customer-specific options
- Full-face, uniform, and glare-free illumination
- Very long service life for mechanical and electrical components
- Wide range of minimum and maximum switching ratings
Stop switch.
With snap-action switching element.
Stop switches are different from emergency stop switches because they do not have to be foolproof. Thanks to their snap-action element, they are particularly suitable for use as on/off switches worldwide in mobile control units as well as in apparatus and mechanical engineering.
Advantages
- Reliable switching
- Extremely low back panel depth (18.8 mm)
- Large range of minimum and maximum switch ratings
- Optional illumination
- Wide range of lenses and lens colours
- Resistant to impact, shock and vibration
- Usable down to – 40 °C
- Very long service life for mechanical and electrical components
- Available with standards-compliant protective shroud
