Waldmann industrial lighting upgrades work well for older CNC machines

Rotem carries several kinds of Waldmann lights.

For shops that need to update the interior lighting of their CNC equipment, Rotem Industrial Products Inc. supplies lighting upgrades by Waldmann Lighting. What makes these products ideal for older CNC equipment is that users often have trouble seeing what is happening inside the machines, due to scratched windows from years of use and cabinet lights that have failed, broken, or become covered with rock-solid oil.

Sixty thousand hours of operation

Waldmann lighting solutions meet the needs of CNC machinery, with their intense illumination, coolant and lubricant resistance, and ability to withstand high temperatures. Because they do not generate their own heat, machine oil does not collect and burn onto the surface, unlike with older machine lights. Waldmann lighting upgrades are easy to install and change, so replacing them does not result in much downtime for business operations.

A frequent problem with interior lights in CNC equipment is that they are typically hardwired into the machine. Since it is both expensive and difficult to find replacements, companies often do not even bother to change the lights. As a result, when the lighting goes out, operators try to use lights from other nearby machines to see inside – or they even use flashlights, which can become a safety hazard.

To solve the issue, it helps to have bright lighting inside the machine cabinet itself, particularly when shadows or glare complicate the situation. But the light has to be easy to clean and replace, and it must be able to withstand the harsh conditions within modern CNC machines. Rotem provides the perfect solution with its Waldmann lighting upgrades.

Businesses can get 60,000 hours of maintenance-free operation from Waldmann lighting products, so their employees can work in optimal conditions without interruption. The manufacturer offers industrial LED tube lights, surface-mount LED flood lights, raptor industrial spotlights, flat LED floodlights, and WLA workstation lights. Each of these state-of-the-art solutions is compatible with all models of CNC mills and lathes, while providing up to 70 per cent in energy savings over standard fluorescent lights.
