Electronics housings from Phoenix Contact are now available with integrated touch displays or displays with membrane keypads. The housing systems for visualization and operation are suitable for visualizing and operating process or control procedures in the control cabinet or the field.
A web-based configurator allows you to freely position the display and design the operating elements with versatility in accordance with the respective application. As the customer, you will receive prefabricated and tested modules for efficient final assembly in accordance with the Plug and Play principle. The displays are integrated flush into the housing front. High-resolution, graphic-capable 2.4″ color displays are available for the ICS, ME-IO, and UCS device families, both with and without touch function.
There is also a display with a size of 0.96″ available for the narrow housings with an overall width of 25 mm in the ICS family of devices. This is supplemented with a membrane keypad for operation. Prepared housing half-shells up to a size of 7″ are available for the UCS family for display/touch combinations, and they can also visualize more complex sequences due to their size.

Cables and wires in industrial robots and other moving machine parts are often required to withstand extreme stresses caused by torsion. Constant repetitive movements put materials under considerable strain. At the same time, operators expect components to function perfectly and reliably throughout their entire service life to avoid disruptions, outages and safety hazards.
For this reason, at HELUKABEL, we simulate intensive and continuous torsion stresses under realistic conditions with our high-tech testing equipment in Windsbach. We have several types of apparatus for doing this because some of our customers, for example those in the automotive industry, have very precise specifications for how a torsion test is carried out. The tests show that our cables and wires withstand speeds up to 1,000°/s, accelerations up to 2,000°/s² and torsion angles up to 720°. Hence, we make sure that each product always meets our customers’ high standards, and that they receive the impeccable quality they rightly expect from us as a leading supplier of cables, wires and accessories for more than 40 years.
