MI enclosures are often an Achilles heel of automation machine design. However, while off-the-shelf enclosures are
frequently cumbersome and bulky, Teknokol enclosures are made to size and to order. But, despite being bespoke, the enclosures
are available on a short lead time and can be designed to accommodate the HMI of your choice, along with any associated pushbuttons, lamps and switches.
MEETING APPLICATION DEMANDS HMI expert, and UK and Ireland Teknokol distributor, Lamonde Automation, offers a free design service. This will help you to produce a solution that not only looks great but is ready to build straight away onto your machine, without the requirement for hole punches or sawing, saving you both time and money. 3D STEP models of proposed solutions are provided so that they can be tried on a machine design and amended if required. Whether you’re using an HMI or panel PC
from B&R, Beckhoff, Delta, Schneider, Siemens, Omron or Weintek, Teknokol enclosures can be designed to meet your exact requirements, taking into consideration the mounting and environmental considerations for your chosen make and model of HMI.
“The Teknokol system offers a solution that
looks great, works, and has a really great price to performance ratio,” explained Alex Strokosch, Direct Automation Systems. Enclosure front sheets can be marked with
your logo, or legends for lamps, pushbuttons or switches for very little extra cost. All you have to do is send a vector file to Lamonde and these will be added to your design layout for approval before you order.
CREATING A GREAT DESIGN Lamonde’s managing director, Duncan Stanton, talks about the design process they follow with customers to come up with a great looking HMI enclosure design. He said: “Visually, it’s important to us – and to our customers – that the enclosure looks just right. When working on a proposal, we consider not only the panel cut out requirement for an HMI, but also the size of the HMI bezel, using this to centralise the HMI, and any buttons or logos, so the enclosure looks right. Aesthetics are important, and a well- designed HMI control panel can be a great

finishing touch to a machine. It’s the part probably most interacted with, so it must look good as well as be intuitive and help make the machine easy to operate.”
“Visually, it’s important to us – and to our
customers – that the enclosure looks just right”
SUPPORT ARM SYSTEMS
Teknokol’s Support Arm systems for HMI enclosures provide cost-effective, fast lead time, modular assembly and customisable solutions. The support arms are designed for loads up to 120kg and are available in three different load range series – low load (TK045- 45kg @1m), medium load (TK060 – 60kg @1m), and high load (TK120-120kg @ 1m). A full range of joints are available in each
range, covering every conceivable configuration requirement. In addition to the usual hinged and rotating joints, Teknokol also offers a height-adjustable support arm in the TK060 range, offering even more flexibility.
