ID-Case 18: Clever construction meets refined design aesthetics

Wetzikon, Switzerland - September 5, 2016 - The iD-Case 18 extends Elma's successful, award-winning design enclosure range. This enclosure makes a powerful impression through its outstanding design, ergonomic operation and clever construction.

The iD-Case 18 opens a new chapter in the success story of Elma's enclosure range. After the successful establishment of the prizewinning iD-Box 16 on the market, Elma is now expanding its product range with an additional design enclosure that boasts both new aesthetic features and technical advantages. The iD-Case 18 combines an exceptionally functional construction with sophisticated design.

Thanks to its unique construction concept, access to the interior of the enclosure is remarkably easy. The combination of magnetic connections and hidden screws makes it possible to open the enclosure with only a few hand movements. Hendrik Steinke, Product Manager for Enclosures & Components, explains the advantages: 'The easily removable lid ensures even easier access from above. This means that it's even less work for the customer to install the electronics inside.'

The design of the iD-Case 18 makes a convincing impression at the first glance. Steinke emphasizes that: 'Materials such as aluminium give the case a noble look.' An especially stylish impression is made by the frame, which elegantly surrounds the enclosure. Steinke describes the functionality and design aspects: 'The surrounding aluminium frame fulfills the roles of both front panel and carrying handle.' The enclosure itself has a clear, simple form which offers freedom for expression of the customer's own specific design. The sleek elegance of exterior gives an impression of the high-end electronics hidden within the iD-Case 18.

The well thought-out design of the iD-Case 18 allows for user-friendly operation. The foldable feet enable easy selection of the preferred operating position. The front can be set vertically or angled 20° to the supporting surface. 'This allows the user to operate the HMI interface comfortably from either a seated or standing position,' explains Steinke .

With four available standard sizes, the iD-Case 18 range covers all the common enclosure sizes. Furthermore, a wide variety of possibilities are available for customizing the enclosure to give it an individual look, and adapt it perfectly tothe customer's requirements and corporate design. Steinke continues: 'Controls, touchscreen displays, and customer-specific electronics can be integrated by Elma as desired. In this way, every iD-Case 18 can be as individual as our customers are.'

With the iD-Case 18, Elma has again succeeded in introducing a design enclosure that employs clever building blocks to merge form and function in an aesthetically appealing way.
