Description
Control booths or control cabins are essential elements for creating a safe, comfortable and efficient workstation for the operator. Developed by Irmach and marketed under the Bartly brand, these cabins ensure precise supervision and complete control of industrial equipment, contributing to higher productivity and a safer working environment.
Custom engineering and tailored manufacturing of control cabins
Each control booth is designed and built to measure, according to the specific needs of the customer, the machine and the production line. Irmach develops fully customised solutions in terms of dimensions, geometry, control panel layout, seat position and integration of electronic systems, ensuring a perfect fit with the existing industrial layout.
Operator ergonomics and operational visibility
The design of Bartly control cabins is operator-focused, providing an ergonomic working position and wide visibility over the operating area. Panoramic glazing, the correct height of the control position and the strategic placement of controls help eliminate blind spots, reduce fatigue and increase safety during manoeuvres and continuous operation.
Integrated control equipment and command systems
Control booths can be equipped with conventional or touchscreen control panels, electronic monitoring systems, electric and hydraulic controls, joysticks and push-button stations, as well as interfaces for remote control and PLC integration. The logical, accessible layout of the controls allows fast, intuitive and safe operation, even in demanding production cycles.
Industrial construction and high-resistance materials
Manufactured with reinforced steel structures and high-resistance panels, Irmach control cabins withstand vibration, dust, temperature variations and noise typical of industrial environments. Industrial anti-corrosion coatings, correctly dimensioned structures and quality components ensure long service life and reduced maintenance needs.
