Signaling and indicator lights, switches, and buttons – elements that hardly any machine can do without. The new JW Winco cabinet U-handle EN 6284 integrates all these functions into a single, compact element.

The new U-handle is designed to enhance the operation of systems and machines. It features an integrated button and a large, colored, backlit area on the back of the handle. These elements can be used individually or in combination, providing a versatile tool for system control and process monitoring.

The EN 6284 prioritizes safety in its design. The two-channel switch element, available in different contact configurations, enhances operational safety. It can handle a wide range of applications with DC and AC voltages from 24 to 240 volts and currents of up to 3 amperes, ensuring compatibility with various systems and machines.

The light element on the back of the handle comprises a form-fitting diffusor made of robust polycarbonate that is tightly attached with an IP 67 protection rating. It homogenously diffuses the light produced by the interior LED module in a variety of colors and brightness levels depending on the activation of the 24-volt RGB matrix. This transforms the handle into a visible status indicator even from the side or from a distance – ideal for large systems operating with small crews. Depending on how it is wired, the light signal can indicate problems in the process, signal regular operation, or show that the system is ready to be opened. The colors and functions can be allocated individually. The extensive documentation and the video tutorial on the JW Winco website offer several possibilities.

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — Maurer Rides, manufacturer of roller coasters and amusement rides, is pleased to announce the upcoming opening of its newest attraction, The Sea Stallion, at Six Flags Qiddiya City in Saudi Arabia. This thrilling new addition will provide park visitors with an unforgettable, interactively controlled ride and enhance Qiddiya City’s breathtaking ambience for entertainment and tourism.

Six Flags Qiddiya City, a partnership between Qiddiya Investment Company and Six Flags Entertainment, is part of Qiddiya’s inaugural project, Qiddiya City, a new global destination built from scratch on the foundations of play. Located at the heart of the Tuwaiq Mountains just 40 minutes from Riyadh, the vibrant city brings entertainment, sports and culture together in a way never seen before. With six uniquely themed lands, the park offers a variety of attractions that transport visitors into a world of adventure and entertainment.

The Sea Stallion roller coaster will be located in “Discovery Springs”, which will be themed around the timeless relationship between the desert and the sea. This attraction epitomises the fusion of the elements of earth and water, offering visitors a wild ride on a sea stallion through a magical land of waterfalls, caves and geysers.

The technical specifications of the rollercoaster are just as impressive as its design. You can experience the high-speed ride on the Maurer Spike Racing Coaster, which offers space for two people per vehicle. The Sea Stallion reaches a track length of 510 metres and will be equipped with 8 vehicles. The interactive features, including speed control and a boost button, promise a dynamic ride experience for visitors of all ages.

The special feature of this roller coaster are the dueling sections with a Möbius layout, which enables a parallel track layout and creates exciting racing situations between the vehicles. The layout close to the ground and the interaction with the neighbouring water ride enhance the adventure experience and make The Sea Stallion a unique attraction.

“The special thing about the design of the ride was to develop a layout that incorporates the terrain and the neighbouring water attraction and thus offers visitors an exciting and varied experience of the elements. In addition, Six Flags Qiddiya City found the idea of dueling very exciting with the requirement to realise this feature not with two, but only in one layout, so that the idea of the Möbius loop was born,” comments designer Torsten Schmidt.

The rollercoaster is currently being assembled in Qiddiya City, Saudi Arabia and will be extensively tested over the next few months.
