MENOMONEE FALLS, Wis. – Magnetek, Inc. (NASDAQ: MAG), a leading provider of digital power and motion control systems, will be exhibiting at the 2015 Offshore Technology Conference, located at NRG Park in Houston, May 4-7. Visitors to the Company’s booth, 7137, will be able to experience a hands-on demonstration of a variety of Magnetek’s wireless controls, including their ATEX and IECEx certified wireless controls for off-shore oil and gas applications.
“Magnetek’s wireless controls provide operators with better positioning for job visibility and safety, allow for data feedback, and extend the lives of machine and hydraulic components,” said Ben Stoller, director of radio controls. “Our controls are available with a variety of options, including graphic displays, joystick and lever selections, and interface modules, and can be custom programmed to meet almost any mobile hydraulic application.”
ATEX compliance, required by the European Union, certifies that Magnetek wireless controls are safe to use in potentially explosive areas with flammable gases or vapors. IECEx equipment certification signifies that Magnetek’s wireless controls conform to international safety standards for environments where a potential exists for explosions. By gaining these certifications, the Company’s XLTX and MLTX2 transmitters may be used in EX Zone 0, Zone 1, and Zone 2 environments that involve potentially explosive situations due to the production or release of gases or vapors.
Magnetek’s innovative, cost-effective wireless controls, complete with plug-and-play hydraulic interface controls, are designed to meet customer specifications, reducing internal engineering and manufacturing costs, improving time to market, and enhancing equipment performance.
