IK/IP-rated enclosure for industrial touch screen and display electronics

OKW’s tough SOLID-BOX safeguards sensitive touch screens, control panels and displays in harsh industrial environments.

IK 08 (impact) and IP 66/IP 67 (ingress) protection make the enclosures ideal for plant and machine construction, HVAC, IoT/IIoT, Smart Factory/Industry 4.0, gateways, data loggers, ICT, electrical installations, measurement/control, agriculture/farming, sensor systems and safety engineering.

The enclosure underlines its aesthetic credentials with a smart, highly polished finish. Flush-fitting snap-on trims hide tamperproof and corrosion-resistant Torx fixing screws and captive lid screws. Separate screw channels allow ‘lid closed’ installation, protecting the seal and electronics.

The gently bevelled lid has a large recess for a membrane keypad or product label. The bottom section provides deep recesses on the long sides to protect connectors and interfaces. Internal fastening pillars support PCBs, mounting plates and DIN rails.

The enclosure is moulded from anthracite grey (RAL 7016) or light grey (RAL 7035) PC+ABS (UL 94 V-0), with increased heat resistance (Vicat/B 120 = 110C) and chlorine-/bromine-free flame resistance. Custom colours are available on request.

There are three sizes: 115 (135mm x 115mm x 50mm), 145 (180mm x 145mm x 60mm) and 175 (225mm x 175mm x 70mm). Mounting points on the rear of sizes 145 and 175 match the hole patterns of VESA MIS-D 75/100.

Accessories for enclosures include lid retainers, internal hinges, non-slip feet for desktop use, and self-tapping screws for PCBs or DIN rails. Compatible cable glands (M12 to M20) and cable bushings are also available.

The company can supply the enclosures fully customised. Services include CNC machining, printing and laser marking logos and legends, decor foils, EMC shielding, and installation/assembly of accessories.
