Oval version of Art-Case series

16 June 2004 Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services

The round range of Art-Case cases, which was introduced at the electronica 2002, achieved such revolutionary success that OKW Gehäusesysteme decided to add another model to the range. The result is the larger, oval version 160.

The Art-Case sets new standards in design and functionality, and is ideal for electrical and electronic applications indoors, for example, transmission and reception units in building services and installations. Other applications are in medical technology, computer peripherals or security technology etc.

The 160 version measures 160 x 110 mm (L x W), although the heights can vary depending on the version, beginning from 38 mm when the battery compartment lid is used. Instead of the battery compartment cover, two bases with different angles can also be used. This allows two further set-up and assembly angles of 30° or 60°; this is especially practical for tabletop and wall-mounted applications.

Two versions of the respective upper parts are available: convex, or with recessed control panel to protect the membrane keyboard. The additive battery compartment, designed for 2 x 1,5 V AAA batteries, is also suited for an internal power supply.

The Art-Case 160 is available as standard in off-white (RAL 9002) and in the material ABS (UL 94 HB), but other colours and materials are also available.
