HMI Protection

[Stuart_Wales]

A new site layout suggestion is to physically move machines in and out of position on wheels. One concern raised is transport protection of HMI's are they're on small hinged electrical boxes off the machines and will be prone to the odd ping when moved around.

Has anyone had experience of a 'transport hood' or something similar which could protect our GOT screens when being pushed in and out of position??

If I'm not mistaking your question, I would suggest a mechanical "cover" of some sort, hinged to the electrical box above the HMI. That way it can be lowered/raised on demand. Maybe talk to some mechanical guys? Or am I missing "the point"?

No mate, you've got the point. I was hoping that maybe someone had used one and there was something off the shelf.

I'm going to have to get creative with a pillow and a sewing kit haha

We used rubber mountings for heavy duty applications. Wich are very common also at your local hardware store.
