Emka provides new locking solutions guidance for switch and control cabinets
Emka has enhanced its online guidance for varying industrial sectors as an aid to specialist enclosure manufacturers. The company recognises that the demand for high performing locking solutions is growing as the protection of data and equipment in general has become more and more important. Therefore, Emka is pleased to offer robust mechanical and advanced electronic locking systems for switch and control cabinets to provide a high level of protection against unwanted access.
Emka says its locking solutions are suited to industrial application such as manufacturing environments, processing systems, traffic control, utilities such as water, waste, electric supply for indoor and outdoor environments including public safety areas.
UK MD Andy Billingham explains: “We are continuously adding to our extensive portfolio of solutions for this area in some 52 countries together with appropriate hinges and gasket/sealing profiles. As an engineering company ourselves, we have been continuously developing innovations in series production for over 40 years and have repeatedly been recognised as world market leader for locking solutions, hinges and gaskets in the field of switch and control cabinets.
“Around the world, more than 30,000 companies in the switch and control cabinet construction industry rely on our innovative multi-point locking systems. Our products can be found in almost every industry as part of the locking solution for control cabinets.”
Individual cabinets and enclosures, double door and suited cabinets normally demand sealing up to IP 65 with lay on or insert doors and Emka is aware that this requires the use of round or flat rod systems to provide offer single, double triple or even five way locking. The company offers systems which are quickly fitted in production with adjustable length rods, clip on rod guides and lock mounted actuator mechanisms coupled to handles and escutcheons with low external profile and extra security options such as double locks, padlockable variants and extra narrow lift handles.
