Modular hardware designs slash cabinet installation times

摘要

Every control cabinet, server enclosure or industrial machine requires some form of hinge, latch, lock or handle, not only to provide access to the equipment, but also to protect it from tampering and to keep it secure in its environment. Fasteners also get lost. A failed screw for example, could lead to a server rack being shut down until a maintenance technician arrives to locate the piece. The consequences of failures like these is normally very costly downtime. Dirak, a German company that specialises in the design and manufacture of modular latches, hinges and other hardware for sheet metal enclosures, has built a reputation over the years for supplying modular hardware that helps end users and enclosure suppliers to reduce installation times (and costs), sometimes by as much as 90 percent.
