SMART-CONTROL - The enclosure for the corner

The new SMART-CONTROL by OKW Gehäusesysteme is the first enclosure for easy installation in standard room corners. As a rule, the equipment is placed as high up on the ceiling as possible; this position is ideal for wide-area room monitoring, saves space and protects the equipment from damage. In addition, this enclosure range can be used both on the wall and on the desk at an ergonomically inclined angle.

The plastic enclosures are available in 2 sizes: 142 x 81 x 46 mm / 173 x 101 x 59 mm (each in H x W x D). The SMART-CONTROL is available from stock in the flame-resistant material ASA+PC-FR (UL 94 V-0) with high UV protection, in the colour RAL 9002 (off-white).

Individual laser marking

OKW Gehäusesysteme now also offers laser marking for numerous plastic enclosures and components from the standard range. It is ideal for individual labelling, identifying or marking.

In particular, very small machine-readable markings, e.g. QR codes, barcodes, consecutive numbering of individual parts and individual texts, can be carried out quickly and easily with laser marking.

Suitable materials are: ABS, ASA+PC, ASA+PC-FR, PC, PA, PA GF as well as aluminium.
The colours off-white, pebble grey, light grey, lava and black are suitable for particularly high-contrast marking - depending on the material.

Laser marking involves a colour change on the surface. Dark and light plastics turn grey at the points to be marked. Laser marking is very precise, waterproof, smudge-proof and durable. Simply ask our experts. We shall be pleased to advise you!

Expansion of capacities in digital printing

"With our investment in two additional digital printers, we are continuing our growth in the individualisation of our enclosures and tuning knobs," explains Production Manager Helmut Böhrer.

The printing capacity in the in-house processing centre has thus been doubled. With two digital printers each for the production of decor foils and for the digital printing of parts, OKW is now in an ideal position to serve a broad spectrum. This innovative technology easily meets the high standards of quality and precision.

CONNECT ENCLOSURE IN BLACK

CONNECT enclosures are now also available in black in the standard range.
In our everyday life, it is hard to imagine much of our equipment without the colour black. A black enclosure is capable of elegantly adapting to its surroundings, both in the home and at work. Furthermore it sets off other colours very well, for example the individual print of your company logo or inscriptions, and is also considered to be extremely insensitive to dirt. We shall be pleased to advise you on the options available. Simply ask our experts!

PROTEC ENCLOSURES ACHIEVE THE HIGH PROTECTION CLASS IP 65

A recent protection class test in accordance with DIN EN 60529 confirms the high protection class IP 65 of plastic PROTEC enclosures with seal (accessory, please order separately) for all three sizes 140/180 and 220. The tests were conducted by an independent external testing institute.
This means that the enclosures effectively protect sensitive electronics even under harsh operating conditions.
In the case of special modifications or the installation of accessories, we recommend that the finished products should be certified.
