OKW Enclosures is reporting an uptick in interest in its medical electronic enclosures during the coronavirus pandemic, particularly its Carrytec handheld cases.
Carrytec is designed for medical diagnostics, therapy and laboratory devices, emergency systems, monitoring and alarms. Other applications include test and measurement, communications, mobile terminals, data collection, smart factory and machine building, according to the German company whose U.S. headquarters is in Bridgeville, Pa.
Carrytec can accommodate a large touchscreen or membrane keypad and provides ample depth for interfaces, which are protected by recessed areas on the underside. The enclosure can be specified in either ABS (UL 94 HB) or UV-stable ASA+PC-FR (UL 94 V-0) and comes in three sizes and two colors.
Accessories include zipped side cases for diagnostic probes, sensors and cables; desk/wall stations for charging and data transfer; battery compartment kits (5 x 1.5V AA); holding clamps for tubes (bed frames) and medical rails (ISO 19054); shoulder straps with eyelet brackets; seals for IP 54 ingress protection; and contacts for stations and PCB mounting screws.
The enclosures and their base stations can be supplied fully customized. Services include CNC machining, custom colors, lacquering, printing of parts and labels, laser marking, decor foils, RFI/EMI shielding, installation and assembly.
