Essentra Components<\/a><\/strong> developed the existing product into a new single movement locking solution, solving EAE\u2019s customers valuable time and providing improved product satisfaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\nEAE prides itself in providing robust and functional solutions that effectively meet the needs of its customers, their RACK Data Cabinets are no exception. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
These cabinets previously featured a three-point locking system however, due to customer demand, the company decided to develop a more efficient single movement system that would increase functionality while still maintaining security. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Having provided EAE with previous standard locking systems, Essentra Components was perfectly placed to supply an enhanced product to EAE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Working closely at every stage of development and discussing the specification of the product ensured the most efficient solution was provided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The most important criteria was for the locking system to be linear, which would allow the door to be opened in one movement using a multipoint locking system, but without the need for a gearbox. This meant the lock could be set and opened in one fluid movement saving valuable time for EAE\u2019s customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Using its specialist 3D printing capabilities Essentra Components delivered a number of 3D prototypes as well as a fully working version, enabling EAE to wholly test the product in application. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Any modifications were quickly identified and adapted so that the solution could be quickly delivered to EAE, accelerating the launch of their RACK Data Cabinets to market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ersun \u00c7akmak \u2013 E-Kabin R&D Manager at EAE Elektroteknik pointed out that: \u201cNot only did Essentra ensure that the product significantly increased ease of use and enhanced productivity for our customers, but they were even able to re-purpose existing components. This meant not only were our customers happy, but the lock came at no extra cost to us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The outcome produced significant advantages on many fronts \u2013 primarily of course the new design fully met the requirement for quicker, easier opening\/closing of the cabinet door. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The push-button handle access with lift handle enables opening or closing to be operated in a single fluid movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No fiddling with catches and keys, just push and flick to open, push and click to close.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cost improvements came because Essentra Component\u2019s custom solution specialists were able to incorporate some existing components into the new product reducing EAE\u2019s investment in new tooling moulds. This simplified design and use of existing components enabled substantial cost savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Naturally, the new solution was designed to fit the same \u2018cut-out area\u2019 as the previous locking system, meaning EAE did not need to change the design of their RACK Data Cabinets to fit the new solution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alongside these operational improvements, the custom solutions team were also able to make improvements to other features of the lock, such as the material. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The body is now made completely from a robust zinc composite providing an added layer of security.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
