OKW has introduced the ‘UNIDESK’ aluminium terminal cases, which are manufactured by their METcase division. These ergonomic sloping front enclosures are designed for housing desktop and wall mounted electronics. Typical applications will include point-of-sale terminals, medical and wellness equipment, machine controllers, and test and measurement devices etc.
The ‘UNIDESK’ enclosures are manufactured from die-cast aluminium end panels and extruded front and rear profiles. The cases are supplied pre-assembled and painted in light grey, RAL 7035. The base panel is removable and includes mounting points for fitting M3 PCB screw pillars, which are ordered separately. Four non-slip rubber feet are also included. An accessory wall mounting kit is also offered.
Three standard models are available with external dimensions of 200 x 200 x 102 mm, 300 x 200 x 102 mm and 400 x 200 x 102 mm. Two types of accessory front panel are offered: Type FF – anodised aluminium panels fitted from the front with M4 fixing screws, and Type RF - unfinished aluminium panels fitted from the rear by M3 studs. The Type RF panels are especially suitable for fitting membrane keypads or product labels.
‘UNIDESK’ cases can be sealed up to IP 54 protection class. As set of four ‘L’ shaped foam gaskets are supplied with each case for sealing the front and base panels. The cases are provided with both M3 and Torx® T10 stainless steel fixings.
OKW can supply the ‘UNIDESK’ enclosures with additional holes for push-buttons, connectors and displays etc., plus silk-screen printed legends and logos. The cases can also be painted in other colours. Standard prices start at £76.
