Control Panels

Our control panels can incorporate many options including heaters, washers and air purge (for complete washer systems). Using modern electronics, our panels offer visual confirmation with the use of LED lighting. Configured to allow optional multi wiper operation via a single switch.

For ease of access around the bridge and to assist with ergonomic layouts we can manufacture panels for sighting throughout the bridge, to operate specific windows.

If required our control panels can be designed to fit existing apertures and can be colour coordinated to compliment control desks. For larger vessels that require several control stations around the bridge we offer the EmpirBus digital control system. This system is extremely flexible and allows integration with other equipment used on the bridge.

Installation for new fit and re-fits are part of the complete service we offer.

Using specially trained engineers, we can remove old equipment and replace it with a Solarglide wiper system. This service includes removing the control panels and replacing with new panels which are designed to fit into existing spaces to avoid inconvenience and aesthetic disruption.

Designed for applications where space limits the use of fixed control panels.

The remote is similar to those used on cars, but the system uses radio control frequencies, which allows the wipers to be operated up to a distance of 10 meters through obstructions. This system is also used when there is a need for extra wipers on secondary windows. This allows ease of installation as it does not require connection to existing panels.

Synchronised systems are a cost effective method of wiping large windows.

Synchronising allows two wipers to clear a screen in harmony without colliding. Pantographs and Pendulums are suitable candidates for these systems; both offering a different wipe dynamic. These systems offer a cost effective method of wiping a large screen or two windows next to each other; fully synchronised.
