Case systems for mobile data collection

20 November 2002 Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services

The medium version M of OKW's robust DATEC-MOBIL-BOX range of cases can now also be ordered in a 15 mm higher version. This range of handheld models is particularly suitable for self-contained control units for mobile data collection and transmission.

This higher DATEC-MOBIL-BOX M is available in two versions: Version I has a closed operating panel, while Version II includes a display window for standard LCDs with 2 lines x 16 characters. External dimensions are 195 mm in length, 101 mm in width and 69 mm in height.

This range of cases was designed in three pieces (upper part, lower part and battery compartment cover) in the two standard colours off-white (RAL 9002) and black (RAL 9005). The upper part is connected to the lower part by means of 4 self-tapping screws on the underside of the case, and the battery compartment is connected with two M3 threaded screws.

Generous flat surfaces allows opportunities for interfaces and openings. The dialogue panel is recessed by 1,7 mm for membrane keyboards and operating elements. IP 65 protective standard can be achieved by an optionally available set of seals. A tilt-foot bar is also available. For normal battery operation, 3 different battery compartments are available: for 4 x 1,5 V AA batteries as well as for one or two 9 V flat batteries (PP3).
