Machine Builder / OEM Top 8 Selections 
The Daanet range of products provides machine builders with a best in breed selection of components to embed their machines with a degree of quality and functionality well regarded by customers. Let's look at just a sample of products from the range of Daanet brands.
AUER Tower Lights
Now with Tower Lights in 30, 40, 50, 60 & 70 mm diameter to suit every application. With a range of mounting brackets including vertical and angled, there is always a product available.
Well priced, these lights feature long life LEDs in steady or flashing, as well as the new random flash model designed really grab the attention of operators who can often suffer from signal fatigue. Fit any of a number of sounders to the top and your machine's status will be visible to all.
The new 30mm range is available factory assembled with a single-piece control and LED board for further economy. More information on Auer Signalling Solutions available here.
IDEM Safety Switches
Not only are IDEM products tough and feature packed, but at a great price point. Here are a few that are proving popular with machine builders.
Stainless Steel E-Stops, Rope Pull Switches and Non-contact Switches
Great for wet washdown areas in both hygienic / food preparation and mining.
Standard with 20mm conduit entries (or pre-terminated cable in the sensor), 304 grade stainless steel and a selection of contact block options, the IDEM stainless steel range of interlock switches are ideal for both machine builders, and with industry standard mounting, suitable for replacing legacy equipment.

Hirschmann Industrial Ethernet
From the huge Hirschmann range, we've highlighted two products here that are commonly specified for machines.
OCTOPUS IP67 Unmanaged and Managed Switches.
Boasting exactly the same functions and capability as their rail-mount cousins, the OCTOPUS range is specifically built for on-machine mounting to enable secure and reliable performance off the network serving variable speed drives, IP cameras, HMI terminals and smart instruments. Using M12 connectors for power and data, as well as options for PoE to reduce cabling further, the OCTOPUS range is the machine builder's first choice.
SPIDER Unmanaged Switch 
When you just need to provide a programming port next to a cabinet mounted PLC or HMI, the SPIDER range is ideal. Value priced, the SPIDER comes in a variety of forms up to 8 ports, including fibre converters and Gigabit. Other features include 24Vdc supply, literally plug and play, and a thin-line design to minimise cabinet real estate. More Hirschmann Industrial Ethernet solutions here.
B&R Automation
HMI with Embedded Controller 
Did we save the most impressive for last? The PowerPanel range of HMI with embedded controller tick all the boxes on the OEM wish list:
- IP65 rating when mounted
- Touchscreen
- Onboard controller uses same CPU as fully-fledged X20 model PLC!
- Remote I/O via a number of networks
- Significant reduction in cabinet space requirements
- Competitive price compared to competitor's HMI - the controller almost comes for free!
This is just a taste of what is available. Your local Daanet distributor would love to meet with you and discuss how Daanet can help take cost and complexity out of your machine's designs. Otherwise, explore the exciting world of B&R's Perfection in Automation here.
