Latching solutions for medical instrument construction

Diagnostics using modern medical equipment plays a key role in the healthcare sector. To ensure a long service life, technicians must be able to access the inner workings of the equipment in the event of defects or for maintenance. At the same time, the sensitive technology must be well shielded against external influences.

This is where our latching solutions come into play. They are specially designed to meet the requirements of medical instrument construction. For example, they offer a high level of IP protection against moisture ingress and can withstand aggressive cleaning agents thanks to high-quality materials.

Highest demands

The core features include:

To ensure protection against infection, intensive cleaning is standard for medical devices. Our latching solutions offer high IP protection classes. This prevents damage caused by penetrating cleaning agents, moisture or dust. In this way, they contribute to reliable and long-lasting function.

It is not only moisture penetration that causes problems with medical devices. Cleaning agents and the like also put the latching solutions themselves to the test. We therefore achieve high-quality corrosion protection with a UV-resistant powder coating and clip-on profiles made of synthetic rubber.

Medical systems are protected by earthing against electric shocks caused, for example, by loose cables. To ensure that our latching solutions are also earthed, we offer special hinges, screws and earthing cage nuts for potential equalization. These create a seamless connection to the control cabinet and thus protect the user.

Our product solutions with compression offer the user a high level of convenience when opening and closing. They enable uniform contact pressure at the same time and thus ensure tightness.

High-quality technology is thus protected against the ingress of dirt, dust or water. Thanks to the possibility of installing the latches both visibly on top and completely inside, the products offer a wide range of possible applications in the areas of “interior”, “exterior” and “infrastructure”.

Due to the long service life of rail vehicles, the use of high-quality products with a permanently secure fastener and special protection against vibration and shock is essential.

We have therefore placed great emphasis on vibration and shock resistance in our product developments. Vibration and shock tests have shown that all tested products comply with the following basic and test standard: DIN EN 61373
