"Focus Open"

proboxx was honored with the "Focus Open" award

Convincing design: The newly developed proboxx for machine control systems was honored with another design award. The experts of the Design Center of Baden-Wuerttemberg granted SCHLEGEL the "Focus Special Mention" for innovative design achievement. That's the third prize we received for our proboxx.

The proboxx has been developed together with the design agency "Ottenwälder & Ottenwälder" from Schwäbisch Gmünd. The focus for functionality in combination with aesthetic demands now has been rewarded with this prize. This proves once more that at SCHLEGEL elegance and proficiency suit each other perfectly.

The "Focus Open" is the 98th design award our company received. The two previous design awards were also granted for the proboxx - the "German Design Award" and the internationally high-ranked GOOD DESIGN AWARD from the Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design.

Miracle of flexibility

With the new proboxx, SCHLEGEL expands their enclosure range with an especially elegant and at the same time functional variant. The proboxx, made of the robust plastics polyamide, proves itself to be a "miracle of flexibility". The proboxx can be used for conventional wiring as well as for fieldbus or radio systems. For direct connection, SCHLEGEL offers the enclosure with IO-Link and AS-Interface.

With the newly invented mounting mechanism with the special "click", it can be mounted on both, full-surface substructures and profile rails. The special feature: The enclosure does not have to be opened and can be exchanged quickly in case of service or failure. The new mounting mechanism allows an asymmetrical placement of the proboxx at any time. That way the enclosures can also be mounted on guard lockings of locked machine systems.

Our proboxx is available both as unequipped version for customised solutions and as pre-equipped version for industrial applications. Degree of protection of the enclosure is IP65.
