Description
The COB-61C crane control button is a specialized multi-function mechanical control box engineered for various crane operation needs in industrial settings. Designed with robust materials, this control box offers multiple button functions in a compact, easy-to-install unit, allowing operators seamless control over crane movements. Suitable for overhead cranes, gantry cranes, and other lifting equipment, the COB-61C enables precise movement control to help improve workflow productivity and enhance workplace safety.
How It Works
The COB-61C operates through a series of mechanical push-buttons connected via internal electrical contacts. When an operator presses one of the control buttons, the corresponding circuit closes or opens, sending electrical signals to the crane’s control system. This action directs the crane to perform specific functions such as lifting, lowering, moving left/right, or stopping.
Its mechanical design relies on durable contact plates and springs to provide tactile feedback and ensure reliable switching under industrial conditions. The multi-function aspect allows multiple directional and operational commands from one compact control box.
Main Components
Mechanical Push Buttons: Heavy-duty buttons designed for repeated use, typically color-coded for ease of operation.
Control Box Housing: Sturdy enclosure made from industrial-grade materials resistant to dust, shocks, and moisture.
Electrical Contact Assembly: Copper alloy contacts for efficient current conduction and long lifespan.
Mounting Bracket: For secure attachment to crane control panels or operator cabins.
Wiring Terminals: Clearly labeled for straightforward and error-free connections.
