METCASE, the metal enclosures division of
OKW, has developed an all new range of instrument enclosures – the UNIMET-PLUS
series. These modern and versatile housings have been designed for desktop and
portable OEM electronics equipment.
Typical applications will include test and
measurement equipment, medical and wellness technology, industrial control,
interfaces, peripherals, communications and laboratory equipment.
The UNIMET-PLUS enclosures are similar in
size to the popular UNIMET series, however, they have a completely new internal
design and assembly technique. Due to customer demand, the UNIMET-PLUS series
has an internal chassis which incorporates four horizontal guide positions for
slide-in PCBs, rather than simple mounting holes in the base panel for the PCB.
Whereas the UNIMET series was designed for
single board electronics equipment, the new UNIMET-PLUS range is designed for
multiple PCBs which are fitted to the internal chassis plates using the four
snap-in polyamide guides supplied. Additional guide positions and guides can be
specified on demand.
The UNIMET-PLUS range is available in six
standard sizes with external dimensions from 1.96” x 9.05” x 7.59” to 5.90” x
13.78” x 10.35”. The all aluminum construction consists of a base panel
assembly with two chassis plates and snap-in guides, top cover, front and rear
die cast bezels and a removable rear panel. The bezels are powder painted in
window gray, RAL 7040 and the case body is in light gray, RAL 7035.
UNIMET-PLUS has no visible fixings on the
case body; the base and chassis assembly is fitted to the bezels and the top
cover is captured by the assembly The front panels, which are available as
accessories, are recessed in the bezels to protect the controls, and the
fixings are hidden under two ABS trims.
The removable rear panel is also recessed
and is ideal for mounting power inlets, connectors and on/off switches. Four
self-adhesive non-slip feet are also included in the kit. Molded ABS tilt feet
are also offered as accessories.
