Realise Great Device Design With OKW's LED Backlighting Machining Service

You can now feature modern and highly impactful LED display/indicator designs on OKW enclosures while still maintaining the IP rating of the housings. With this service the inside of the enclosure is machined with LED location pockets in a grid (e.g. for patterns) or as individual elements (e.g., for on/off status). The wall thickness is reduced in the location pockets to such an extent that the light from LEDs shines through.

Achieve visually stunning displays, such as status indicators and temperature readings for modern applications such as building services systems, smart home electronics, IoT/IIoT, offices, wireless communications, measurement/control, medical, laboratory and security technology.

Let's redefine your enclosure with OKW's cutting-edge services!

PRACTICAL PRESS STUD FASTENING FOR MOBILE APPLICATIONS

OKW now offers a full service for mounting press studs to its enclosures. Press studs are a very convenient method for fast-mounting wearable electronic devices on a wrist/arm strap, or on a belt. Suitable pocket holes are machined into the bottom part of the enclosures to fit either the male or female part of the customer-specified press studs. This innovative solution enhances the security and convenience of wearable electronic devices for the user.

Press stud mounting is perfect for wearable applications such as biofeedback, measurement and recording of personal training data, and monitoring of vital functions in the medical and wellness fields.

For developers exploring the use of press studs in wearable devices, OKW's range of compact enclosures—including the BODY-CASE, MINITEC, MINI-DATA-BOX, CONNECT, and SOFT-CASE (featured)—can be expertly machined to accommodate this mounting method, making them ideal for such applications.
