Garbage trucks.
Clean solutions for rough conditions.
Proven in practice: EAO offers sophisticated HMI Solutions for garbage trucks – not just for outdoor use, but also for maximum ergonomics and safety in the driver’s cab.
What our HMIs can do for garbage trucks.
A fantastic setup, inside and out.
HMIs in garbage trucks need to work robustly and reliably – inside and out. This includes safe operation and guaranteed emergency stopping of the waste press, charging system and bin cleaning – regardless of whether gloves are worn, and in the cold, heat, at night or in sunshine, soiled or after cleaning. Impact and permanent vibrations also have an effect on the HMIs.
Proven HMI Functions
Series 09, 14, 45, 61 and 84 from EAO offer you various proven HMI Functions: from pushbuttons, to emergency stop switches and keypads. They are all ideal for outdoor applications, and there is also the option of protective shrouds to prevent accidental operation, intuitive symbols, and various lens colours. An emergency stop switch is also the standard today for the waste press at the driver’s cab.
Ergonomics and safety for the driver’s cab
For user comfort in the driver’s cab, we offer you ergonomic universal switches and LIN switch panel. There are also keypads for safety-relevant applications which is always of paramount importance. With the addition of various illumination options and ISO symbols, you can configure the HMIs for almost any internal application on rear, front and side loaders.
Solutions with HMI Functions.
Various tools full of individuality.
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
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
