High protection class enables use in outdoor areas
The innovative and advanced BoVersa enclosure concept from specialist manufacturer BOPLA offers customers an innovative modern design suitable for a wide range of applications. Flexible and customer-specific design options include a lighting concept, wireless communication and maximised cooling technology.
The new enclosure can be used for applications which require hand-held, tabletop, wall or pole mounting. The enclosure offers optimal conditions for instrumentation, security systems, IoT, wireless, embedded systems and more.
For wireless systems a die-cast aluminium enclosure body with moulded-in cooling fins can be combined with a plastic cover, allowing unhindered radio transmission while providing an optimal combination for wireless applications that require cooling.
For efficient heat dissipation, BoVersa has integrated cooling fins into the die-cast aluminium enclosure. The point-symmetrical design of the fins optimises airflow and ensures cooling of the enclosure when mounted horizontally or vertically. The uniform airflow maximises the efficiency of cooling and provides even and stable temperature distribution in the enclosure, increasing the service life and reliability of the built-in electronics.
BoVersa has a three-part enclosure structure consisting of a lower part, a functional lid and design cover which can be combined with each other as required. Colour accents can be added by combining enclosure parts in different colours to suit an application or branding requirement.
Key features of the new BoVersa enclosure system from BOPLA include:
- A transparent function lid providing a view inside the enclosure or built-in displays.
- The enclosure parts can be combined in different colours. The transparent and translucent functional lids can also be used to set lighting design accents.
- Open version for integration of keyboards and displays or closed version for a clean look and individual designs.
- The closed design cover can change the appearance of the enclosure almost indefinitely through individual processing. No visible enclosure screws.
- The frame-shaped design cover is perfect for integrating keyboards and displays, while the closed version allows for a clean look or custom designs.
- For applications with special mechanical stability requirements, a cover made of die-cast aluminium is also available – the cover screws are concealed under covers.
- The combination of high protection class and material properties enable use in outdoor areas. Plastic material PC UL 94 V0 is suitable for outdoor use, environmental protection to IP66 / 68 (1.2m – 2h) DIN EN 60529
- A pole attachment is available as an optional accessory.
- Mounting tabs are directly moulded on the aluminium lower part and can be retrofitted separately on the plastic lower part.
- The lower part has a moulded-in receptacle for a pressure equalisation diaphragm that can be “activated” at the factory.
- The point-symmetrical design of the cooling fins allows for optimal airflow in horizontal and vertical mounting positions.
Equipment designers can create a bespoke enclosure solution by selecting the required components from the wide range of standard options.
