Milling machine

Customized cutouts can be made on each side of the housing with our state-of-the-art milling machines. Rely on the highest quality and cost-effective implementation even for small and medium quantities.

Tool modification on an injection molding machine

For large quantities, it is often more cost-effective to replace mechanical processing with an injection-molded version. Benefit from the rapid implementation of your adapted version directly from the original tool.

New housing parts on a production line

To achieve your tailored solution, it is sometimes necessary to replace individual standard housing parts with customer-specific designs. We develop housing components in accordance with your specifications and combine them with proven standard components.
In particular for the ICS series, you can even design individual housing covers using the configurator. To do so, take advantage of the PROTIQ 3D printing services for the production of prototypes and subsequent series production.

Passive heatsinks and thermal simulations for electronics housings

Miniaturization brings with it ever-higher packing densities in electronics. This, in turn, requires efficient cooling. Heat dissipation in electronics housings is ensured by individual heatsinks. This means the housings can also be used in thermally demanding applications. As a device manufacturer, do you need thermal simulations to support you in designing the PCB layout? Please contact us.

Technical principles of electronics housings Solutions for DIN rail applications

Electronics housings are an elementary part of a device. They determine its appearance and protect the electronics from external influences. In addition, they enable assembly in superordinate units. Device manufacturers must therefore pay attention to many details, and not only in the design, but also in the choice of housing when it comes to materials and quality testing. This brochure provides you with all the details.
