18-10-2012
EAO, the expert partner for Human Machine Interfaces, supplies custom-built HMI systems and a full range of HMI components for use in on-board control panels and displays.
Within the Specialist Vehicle market, EAO builds innovative, reliable and intuitive control panels for police, fire and ambulance vehicles as well as street cleaning and maintenance trucks, airport services and off-road cars.
EAO’s products and expertise are widely used in operator controls for sirens and lights, intercoms and communication, powered lifting devices like ladders, platforms and winches, and security and vehicle access controls.
Typically they utilise a mix of technologies which might include a touch screen or display, membrane keypad, discreet pushbuttons and emergency-stop functions built into a protective housing and connected through an appropriate serial bus (CAN/J1939) to simplify wiring and communications.
Specialist vehicles may require updating and adaptation so EAO designs with optimum flexibility in mind, allowing vehicle builders to personalise panels according to the end-customer.
In addition to designing and building HMI systems, EAO offers a comprehensive range of HMI components including these specialised products:
· 22mm compact, illuminated Emergency-stop with foolproof operation (Series 84)
· Series 51
· Low panel height switches for membrane controls and keypads (Series 70)
· 30mm IP67 illuminated pushbutton: Series 14
All EAO products are available in a wide choice of actuators, materials, lenses and mounting styles built to the highest quality and design standards.
They can be adapted with special PCB sub-assemblies, engraving, connections and terminations according to specific needs.
