OKW has launched the 'SENSO-CASE' series of hand-grip style enclosures. These ergonomic hand-held cases have been designed for single handed operation of the controls on the top section of the unit. Typical applications will include measuring and control units, machine and robot controllers, stock and sales logging equipment, medical and laboratory technology and opto-electronics.

‘SENSO-CASE’ enclosures have a unique ergonomic hand grip profile with a large head section, and are moulded in off-white or lava grey ABS (UL 94 HB). The external dimensions are 180 mm x 86 mm x 45 mm. The design consists of four parts: top part, bottom part, battery compartment lid and end panel. Screw pillars are provided inside for mounting PCBs, keypads, cable clamps etc.

‘SENSO-CASE’ enclosures permit both right and left-handed operation, and can be used as mobile units with battery power or connected via a cable. The battery compartment will accept two 1.5V AA or one 9V cell. Optional cable glands replace the standard end panel, and along with a cable clamp, can be used for fitting the control cable.


The head section has a recessed area in the top for fitting membrane keypads, LCD modules, rubber keypads or push-buttons. The large front face can be used for mounting sensors or scanners.

OKW can supply the ‘SENSO-CASES’ with additional holes for the push-buttons, connectors and displays, plus silk-screen printed legends and logos, and EMC shielding. Standard prices start at £11.
