Enclosures
been designed to suit a wide range of applications including plant and machine construction, HVAC, Industry 4.0, IoT/IIoT, gateways, data loggers, ICT, electrical installations and agriculture. SOLID-BOX is a stylish IK 08 desktop and wall-mount enclosure that lives up to its name, providing a very real alternative to stainless steel housings. ‘Lid closed’ installation is standard; all the screw channels are outside the sealed area. Corrosion-resistant and tamperproof captive Torx screws are concealed beneath snap-on trims. This further enhances the enclosure’s aesthetics – an increasingly important consideration in today’s 21st century smart factories.
SOLID-BOX follows in the tradition of OKW’s SMART-BOX (IP 66), an ergonomically contoured enclosure that also offers lid closed installation. But this time the screws are hidden beneath hinged trims. These offer the added advantage of remaining attached to the recessed lid at all times (and the lid has retaining straps). Meanwhile, there’s another new type of plastic housing that’s making greater inroads into the industrial electronics market – sensor enclosures. IIoT’s
also appears on OKW’s EASYTEC flanged enclosures (IP 65 optional).
Specifying standard enclosures like these has always been faster and more cost- effective than opting for a fully bespoke housing. Enclosure manufacturers such as OKW can supply enclosures fully finished and ‘production line ready’.
Virtually every standard enclosure will need some form of customisation. So, it makes sense to partner with a single- source supplier that is fully accountable for consistency of quality from start to finish. This also speeds up the process and reduces administration.
Technological advances in recent years have made ordering customised enclosures in smaller volumes more viable. Services include CNC machining, lacquering, printing, laser marking, decor foils, special materials, EMC shielding, and assembly/ installation of accessories.
insatiable demand for data means that factories now contain a myriad of sensors. All these sensors must be housed quickly and easily in enclosures that are strong, fast to fit, and also attractive enough to match the futuristic look of heavily robotised and automated smart factories.
OKW’s MINI-DATA-BOX (IP 65) is a compact sensor enclosure that crams a lot of design benefits into its diminutive size. It is available with (or without) flanges that enable the enclosures to be either cabled-tied to rails and poles or screwed to flat surfaces. This popular feature
Digital printing adds legends, logos and photo-quality graphics to enclosures. Laser marking is ideal for consecutive numbering and for very small, machine-readable QR codes, barcodes and DataMatrix codes.

Today’s Applications Need a New Memory Technology
Advanced geometries, increasing memory capacities, tighter power constraints. The industry requires a faster, lower power, more reliable Non-Volatile Memory (NVM).
