About us
For Over 60 Years, H.H. Barnum Company Has Taken Great Pride In Creating A Legacy That Places Customers And Employees As A Top Priority. H.H. Barnum Company was founded in 1946 by Herb Barnum. At its inception, the company focused operations on process control valves and instrumentation. After ten years, former World War II bomber pilot and University of Illinois alumnus Ken Koza joined Barnum as a salesman. In addition to a relentless work ethic, Koza also brought with him experience from his work as an engineer at Honeywell, an industrial control and thermostat manufacturer. This was the first of many product and service line expansions for the company. After quickly earning his place as a top salesman, Koza purchased 40 percent of Barnum, eventually taking on full ownership of the company following Mr. Barnum’s retirement in 1975. Koza, soon joined by his sons, Ed and Ken Junior, refocused business efforts from control valves and instrumentation to the distribution of factory automation systems across multiple industries. At the time of Ken Koza’s retirement in 1988, Barnum stood poised for growth with 12 employees and an opportunity to provide manufacturers with thoughtful industrial solutions and a detailed knowledge of automation controls. Today the company proudly employs over 130 people, operating a 65,000 square foot facility in its Brighton, Michigan Headquarters and stocking offices in Cleveland, Ohio and Grand Rapids, Michigan. Dedication to innovation and quality by both our valued customers and employees is the foundation on which Barnum is built, and has remained a driving force behind the company since its humble beginnings over six decades ago.

Backfeeding is an important physical process for the purpose of energy recovery. However, in industrial settings, backfeeding can lead to costly system downtimes if power supply units fail. The PULS, L.P. FIEPOS power supply family is an IP67 power supply that is E-fused with programmable output power, which can eliminate the need for costly custom-built enclosures and reduce the size of the main panel. It also has a robust design that can handle voltage spikes in a backfeeding event, and can communicate voltage, current and temperature through its IO-Link interface, helping reduce downtime.

To keep your factory safe, it is crucial to make sure that a machine cannot be reset while personnel are within a safeguarded space. Implementing proactive inhibit functions can help protect employees from unexpected start-ups. Interlock blocking is an example of a proactive inhibit function that consists of securing the interlock in the open position, preventing the interlock from being closed and unexpected start-up from occurring. To learn more about interlock blocking, check out this article from Fortress Safety: https://lnkd.in/eyxSXg_q
