Electrical Switch Panels & Control Environments
We are able to make electrical control / status units or panels varying in complexity. From simple arrangements based on 'off-the shelf' components up to custom made, laser cut and engraved panels.
Simple arrangements can be provided in kit form or pre-fabricated for ease and are cost-effective.
Complex systems can take time to design and manufacture so can be more expensive but represent the ultimate in bespoke control.
Of course, there is always a middle-ground and simple switch panel systems can be integrated with touchscreens to provide a hybrid solution.
Basic control interface panel fitted on laminated sheet material with Massoth DCC controller, touch screen tablet for PC control of points and signals, physical switch panel for isolation of circuits and turntable control. Designed to be fitted into a customer's IKEA shelving unit.
