Red Dot Award for new emergency-stop

The new emergency-stop QRBLUVOOI_C1190 of GEORG SCHLEGEL was awarded with the renowned Red Dot award for its innovative design. The new emergency-stop with illuminated status indication received the award for its design quality and creative achievement.

"Red Dot is an award for high design quality. The jury only awards products that possess an outstanding design with this coveted seal of quality. To be able to compete against strong opponents speaks for the quality of your products," reads the letter of congratulations addressed to our company. During the evaluation process that lasted several days the jury thoroughly studied the submitted products and evaluated them, among other factors, in regards to their design quality and their degree of innovation. SCHLEGEL´s emergency-stop of the Quartex connect series could convince in both of these categories.

Exceptional aesthetics
The anti-lock collar of the new QRBLUVOOI_C1190 of the Quartex connect series can be illuminated. This does not only look nice, but also has a true added value: When the emergency-stop is activated to set the machine into a safe state in case of an emergency the integrated LEDs inside the anti-lock collar are being activated. Thanks to the illumination it is clearly visible where the emergency happened, even in poor lighting conditions.

This emergency-stop, designed for the typical panel cut-out of 22.3 mm, has a surprisingly low mounting depth of 27.5 mm thanks to the direct integration of the M12 connection. Due to the degrees of protection of IP65 in the front and IP54 on the rear it is also suitable for rough working conditions.

The Red Dot award is the 2nd design award for the QRBLUVOOI_C1190. The design and functionality of the illuminated emergency-stop already convinced the jury of the Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design who honored the SCHLEGEL emergency-stop with the GOOD DESIGN AWARD.

The focus on design quality has a long tradition at SCHLEGEL. Our company has already received more than 100 design awards. Furthermore, it is not our first time to receive the Red Dot Award. In 2018, we received the award for the Rondex-Juwel series and in 2021 for the new enclosure series proboxx and the FRPKVOO, an emergency-stop with spherical head.
