Industrial Relays: Process Automation

High-Performance Relays for Process Automation and Robotics

Relays are essential components in process automation and robotic systems, providing safe, reliable switching between control signals and high-power equipment. Our industrial-grade relays are engineered to withstand demanding environments, ensuring stable performance, fast response times, and long service life in automated operations.

Designed for Modern Automation Systems

In process automation and robotics, precise control is critical. Our relay solutions offer the accuracy and reliability required to manage motors, sensors, actuators, solenoids, conveyors, and robotic motion systems. With both electromechanical and solid-state relay options, you can choose the ideal switching technology for your application.

Key advantages include:

  • High switching capacity for AC and DC loads
  • Long mechanical and electrical endurance
  • Fast, stable switching performance
  • Isolation between control and load circuits
  • Compact to accommodate DIN-rail or PCB mounting

Relay functionalities:

  • Isolation
  • Switching AC/DC loads
  • Protection of sensitive components form surge

Reliable Switching for Factory Automation

Whether it’s to operate automated production lines, packaging systems, machine tools, or robotic cells, relays play a crucial role in ensuring proper system function. FCL Components relays help safeguard sensitive controllers, reduce equipment wear, and maintain consistent process accuracy.

Typical applications:

  • Manufacturing and assembly robots
  • Automated material handling
  • Process control systems
  • Packaging and bottling lines
  • Motion and positioning systems
  • Safety and interlock circuits

Robust Relays for Harsh Industrial Environments

Process automation often requires equipment that can perform reliably under extreme conditions. Our relays are built to withstand:

  • High vibration and shock
  • Temperature fluctuations
  • Electrical noise (EMI/RFI)
  • Continuous switching cycles

This ensures dependable operation even in the toughest industrial settings.
