Hand-terminals for tough working conditions

18 June 2003 Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services

A special case system for decentralised electronics components, OKW's Hand-Terminal, offers plenty of space for operating elements, graphic displays and the electronic components.

Ideally suited for rough conditions and all applications that call for a sturdy handheld case, technical design details guarantee easy everyday working: ergonomic design for fatigue-free handling; wide battery compartment lid for a secure grip during operation and handling; battery compartment included in the holding area for optimum weight distribution and independence from mains power.

The robust cases are made of impact resistant material. In conjunction with sealing sets available as accessories, protection to Class IP65 is possible. There is a large, recessed area on the front side for the installation and protection of interfaces, screwed cable glands, plug-in connections, etc, as well as a capacity for emergency stop switch. The ergonomic design of the bottom part allows for a firm, secure hold during operation.

Available without or with battery operation, three battery compartments can be selected: 4 x 1,5 V (AA), 1 or 2 x 9 V (PP3). The case has a fine textured surface, made of ABS/PC blend (UL 94 V-0), and it comes in off-white, RAL 9002 and black, RAL 9005.

Main applications could be, for example, flexible machine control systems in production and assembly, or mobile terminals for teach-in applications in robotics. Classical applications in electrical engineering and electronics are also possible, eg, mobile data acquisition, environmental technology, laboratory, and measuring and control engineering. On request, the cases are also available with an aluminium metallisation for EMC.
