New ergonomic CONTROL-KNOBS have a soft-touch surface which is easy to grip and feels comfortable in operation. The high-quality appearance – illuminated if required – distinguishes this advanced range of tuning knobs as the central element of menu-driven interfaces.
In times of the Corona pandemic, companies are facing major challenges. The prescribed distancing rules must be followed in order to combat COVID-19. Employees must be protected from possible chains of infection and health risks, and meetings are to be avoided or held by video chat in the home office. Of course, this is not feasible for employees in incoming goods departments, warehouse logistics or production areas. But what is the most efficient way to maintain minimum distances and protect the entire company from large-scale quarantine measures? OKW offers numerous enclosures for implementing distance control.
SLIM-CASE demonstrates what is possible with the design of a modern handheld enclosure, in terms of both appearance and function. The almost frameless design makes it possible to install low profile electronic components and assemblies as well as large displays and touchscreens of up to 4ʺ (10 cm) into a compact device. High protection class IP65: SLIM-CASE versions I-III with optional seal.
Challenging Clinical Environments
Medical devices are like the clinicians that use them. Both face punishing working conditions – but miraculously, neither is expected to show any signs of wear. No patient wants to be treated by an overworked doctor who looks tired. Nor do they want to see medical equipment that looks scuffed and past its prime. They expect it to look spotless – all day, every day, no matter how old it is. So the enclosures housing these devices must be exemplary: smart, modern, robust and tamperproof. And they should be resilient so they continue to look ‘new’ for as long as possible.
Electronics manufacturers know the importance of Industry 4.0 only too well. The race is on to create the next generation of robotics, computing, sensor and HMI products that will take manufacturing to the next level and beyond. OEMs face huge pressure to meet burgeoning demand in this rapidly growing market sector. And all this IIoT sensor technology must be housed within enclosures robust enough to meet the challenging demands of the modern smart factory. That in itself has created a mini-boom segment in the electronic enclosures market.
