The robust plastic enclosure can be equipped with one to four pushbuttons, switches or emergency stops and is universally suitable for use with the controls of industrial plant or machinery. It can be used both with conventional wiring and with fieldbus or radio systems. Thanks to the new fixing principle, the enclosure can even be mounted on standard rails without having to be opened. The actual screw connection is at the bottom of the enclosure so that it can only be opened when dismounted – leaving the visible side neat and tidy with nothing to distract from the control elements.
Jury
With its clear and uncluttered design, the enclosure accentuates the implantable switches rather than competing with them. A textbook example of classic industrial design – partly also because it improves safety and mounting at the same time.
