Reliable operation and protection for terminal units

16 November 2005 Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services

The round head shape is the trademark of the tried and tested range of handheld cases from OKW, the Datec-Control series. The company developed a four-part range of products (XS, S, M and L) specially designed for the use of graphics-capable displays. They have a slim handle area that allows good operation at all times. Now, this ergonomic range of cases has been extended with useful accessory elements.

In order to protect these later terminal units from mechanical damage, OKW also developed a cover panel made of thermoplastic elastomer for the Datec-Control XS, in the standard volcano grey colour. Called Protector, it is ideally suited, for example, for simple installation, for absorbing impacts so as to protect the electronics in the case, or to protect the surface of peripheral systems, equipment etc. The Protector continues the design characteristics of the basic case and, in conjunction with the terminal unit, is visually aesthetic. On request the impact protection unit can also be produced in customer-specific colours (200 units or more).

For secure placement of the unit on the desktop, or for purposes of charging, there is now also a special base available for each of the two basic Datec-Control versions, the XS and the S. These have been ergonomically-designed so that the data remains visible even when the unit has been placed on the base. The two bases have sufficient installation volume to accommodate the necessary charging and transmission electronics.
