Body-mounted enclosures

30 May 2012 Enclosures, Racks, Cabinets & Panel Products

OKW’s ERGO-CASE range of body-mounted enclosures employs a convex design to match the curves of the human body. They make it possible for the user to wear them comfortably – whether on the arm, chest or around the waist. In order to do full justice to individual customer requirements, OKW has now extended the mobile enclosure range with a smaller version.

The new ERGO-CASE XS consists of three individual parts as standard – a top part, a bottom part and an intermediate ring made of soft TPE material. The ring in the colour volcano gives the enclosure a pleasant touch sensation, serves as impact protection and is available in three different versions: with an eyelet for carrying around the neck with a lanyard, with two eyelets for the wrist, or without any eyelets at all, for universal use.

As the name suggests, the XS version was designed to be particularly small, with dimensions of 80 x 56 x 22 mm (L x W x H). By analogy with the existing larger versions, and to continue the homogeneous design features of the range, it is available in the two standard colours of off-white (RAL 9002) and black (RAL 9005), made of ABS (UL 94 HB). The top part was given a convex, recessed surface for integrating membrane keyboards.

The possible applications for the ERGO-CASE XS are manifold, for example for mobile data acquisition and transmission in medical, laboratory and measuring technology, warehousing and sales logistics or in digital control engineering. For applications close to the body, the range of accessories already includes the necessary belts, bracelets or collars, a wrist strap as well as a belt/pocket clip for securing enclosures from this range to the user‘s belt or shirt pocket
