Always fully informed

As early as the 1940s, head-up displays projected the most important information directly into the field of vision of fighter pilots. More and more cars have been offering this practical extra for around 20 years.

This idea has inspired Murrelektronik to take a completely new approach in the field of optical signaling for machines, which will celebrate its trade fair debut as part of the demonstration systems at the company’s stand (Hall 9, Stand 325) at SPS 2024.  

The new Modlight Illumix RGBW is, on the one hand, a fully-fledged and powerful machine light that illuminates machines or areas thereof – and, on the other hand, a color-coded status light to indicate various statuses or information. And it does so in a language that everyone understands: Colors.

The status display always has priority: If there is a critical condition on the machine, for example, the light immediately illuminates the affected area in red – it couldn’t be clearer.

Small investment, large effect

This not only saves space and costs, but it also reduces expensive downtime: Gone are the days when operators could only see visual status displays with a delay because the signal towers are mounted on top of the machine and therefore out of direct view.

In contrast to signal towers, the Modlight Illumix RGBW also offers the option of separate visual status indicators for individual areas of the machine: While one area uses a green light to signal “everything is OK”, another area uses a yellow light, for example, to announce that a status is slowly entering the critical range. This means that the operating personnel have all the current information about the machine’s operating status permanently in their field of vision and can react in good time.

At the heart of this innovative luminaire are the latest generation of white and colored LEDs, which consume little power, have a long service life and can be individually controlled. The multifunctional luminaires are available as Slim line in a plastic housing (protection class: IP54) or as Classic Line in a metal housing (protection class: IP67) in various lengths and performance classes.

The Modlight Illumix RGBW Slim Line is available in five different lengths: 218 mm

(4 W output), 358 mm (8 W output), 638 mm (16 W output), 918 mm (24 W output) and 1198 mm (32 W output). The Modlight Illumix RGBW Classic Line can be obtained from Murrelektronik in four different lengths: 225 mm (6 W output), 400 mm (12 W output), 575 mm (18 W output) and 750 mm (24 W output). 

The connection is quick and easy using a 5-pin M12 cable in the first-class quality you have come to expect from Murrelektronik.
