Joint exhibition stand at the SPS in Nuremberg

OKW Gehäusesysteme and ROLEC Gehäuse-Systeme participated together for the first time at the international SPS trade fair in Nuremberg. The focus was on the entire spectrum of smart and digital automation – from simple sensors to intelligent solutions for the digitised industry. Visitors were able to visit the joint exhibition stand for three days, from 26.11. to 28.11.

For its 30th anniversary, the trade fair, formerly known as SPS IPC Drives, took place this year with a new title: SPS – Smart Production Solutions. At the joint stand, trade visitors were able to obtain information about the wide range of products for enclosures. OKW Gehäusesysteme offered a wide range of plastic enclosures suitable for the automation sector. These included the robust EVOTEC, the elegant NET-BOX central control unit, the innovative INTERFACE-TERMINAL or also the SMART-TERMINAL aluminium enclosure. The highlights were two new enclosure ranges: SMART-CONTROL, the first enclosure for easy installation in standard room corners. In addition, this enclosure range can be used both on the wall and on the desk at an ergonomically inclined angle. The EASYTEC flanged enclosure has been optimally designed for the integration of smart sensors for the IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) and the IoT. The ROLEC Gehäuse-Systeme exhibition team presented various industrial design enclosures made of aluminium, stainless steel, ABS, polyester and ASA+PC.

The team of experts was available for the entire duration of the exhibition to provide visitors with help and advice. The joint stand was well attended, and some new national and international contacts were also made through intensive consultations. More than 1500 exhibitors, 548 of them from abroad, presented products, innovations, solutions and trends in the industry in 17 exhibition halls on an exhibition area of 135,500 m². The range of services was supplemented by a professional support programme at the trade fair forums. A total of 63,708 trade visitors attended the fair.

EASYTEC - Flanged enclosures for the IIoT and smart sensor applications

The basis of the IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) and the IoT is to make things smarter by making them communicate with each other. The focus here is on sensors which are embedded in the devices and which constantly gather and centrally deliver data concerning machinery and special work scenarios or data about the entire value-added chain. The new EASYTEC wall-mounted enclosure series was developed specially for these modern sensor applications.

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).

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!
