EASILY CONFIGURE ENCLOSURES FOR MACHINE VISION CAMERAS
autoVimation has been designing and manufacturing enclosures and mounting solutions for machine vision applications for 15 years. Now, the company has introduced a configurator that guides users to suitable protective enclosures for a wide range of camera formats in just a few steps, including the adaptation to specific applications. The user simply enters some basic parameters for the camera, lens and connector, and the configurator automatically suggests the smallest suitable protective enclosure from the autoVimation portfolio. Users can also customise the front lid and rear wall options, and select feature options and accessories. There are a wide range of mounting accessories, heating and cooling devices
Stylish, versatile and easy-to-assemble, OKW’s MEDITEC enclosures for desktop, portable and wall-mount electronics are now available in two versions and four plan sizes. These can also be specified as separate components for individual configurations. These can be provided with or without a tilt swivel carry
handle which can be adjusted in increments of 30˚, that doubles as a desk stand. Additional features include: strengthening ribs in the enclosure’s top and base enhance robustness; clip-in side trims with/without ventilation that hide the fixing screws; and inside there are screw pillars for installing PCBs and components. Four screw-on non-slip feet ensure stability. A sloping control panel (accessory) creates a desktop reading
angle of 30˚ or a wall reading angle of 60˚; while an infill panel (accessory) is needed for 124mm high cases with a sloping panel. This panel allows the mounting of connectors for probes and data cables. Accessories also include wall mounting brackets, side panel connectors, stacking elements for securing several devices, and PCB mounting screws. The enclosures can be specified in four plan sizes from 160 x 200mm to 290 x 260mm in accordance with double and extended Eurocard-sized PCBs. There are two standard heights: 74mm and 124mm. Optional side panels add a further 50mm. MEDITEC is moulded from ABS (UL 94 HB). According to the company, MEDITEC is designed primarily
for high-quality, high-value healthcare and laboratory electronics. It is also ideal for feedback control, test and measurement, communications and network technology, data collection, control peripherals, modems and interfaces.

Solvay has introduced SolvaLite 716 FR, a fast-curing epoxy prepreg system designed for a wide range of structural parts and reinforcements in premium battery electric vehicles (BEVs). SolvaLite 716 FR is primarily targeted at flame-
retardant battery enclosure applications for premium and super-premium BEVs. It has a dry glass transition temperature (Tg) of 145˚C (293˚F) and has shown to outperform aluminium and discontinuous fibre composites in practical UL 2596 flammability tests by providing protection at a wall thickness of 2mm. Beyond the automotive industry, the new material also opens up a wide potential for other components where fire safety is key to
meeting general UL94 V-0 specifications. This system is designed for rapid curing,
offering a press cure time of eight minutes at 150˚C (302˚F); with higher temperature and shorter cycle time capability designed to help converters achieve more efficient production routes, such as Solvay’s proprietary Double Diaphragm Forming (DDF) technology. SolvaLite 716 FR is available in a carefully selected range of formats and continuous fibre types aimed at meeting the most demanding mechanical requirements, under worst-case loading conditions, minimising component thicknesses and optimising enclosure volume for increased

volumetric energy density or vehicle z-height. “The automotive industry sees a need for
new material solutions for battery components with superior flame retardancy compared to conventional thermoset prepregs and aluminium, and which allow passengers sufficient escape time in the event of a thermal runaway,” explained Stefano Montani, transportation marketing manager at Solvay. “Structural battery housing solutions must also ensure reliable EMI shielding performance and enable efficient processing of large volumes at high production rates. Our new SolvaLite prepreg combines all these properties with a significant lightweighting potential compared to incumbent solutions.”

available, as well as wind curtains for vision applications in extreme environments; plus various window materials, such as germanium for infrared cameras. The configuration result is displayed with the correct order number. There are also direct links to the data sheets for all housing series and accessories. Users can request a
quote, which is usually sent by email in less than 24 hours on weekdays.

PERSONNEL PROTECTION ENCLOSURES
HEMCO Corp provides enclosures that are designed to protect personnel from hazardous fumes and processes from lab contamination. These are designed to isolate liquid handling
workstations, HPLC equipment, sample weighing, high throughput screening, powders handling and other lab automated processes by providing exhaust air systems or HEPA filtered Laminar flow workstations. With a flexible and modular design, the enclosures
are engineered and built to exact customer size and design requirements. Standard sizes in vented or HEPA filtered models are also available.
