    “We Bring Your Ideas to Life“ häwa Concepts for Customized Control Cabinet Solutions

    häwa defines customer-specific standard with individual cabinet solutions

    Owing to the individual consulting approach häwa GmbH offers control cabinets that always meet the customers' specific requirements exactly. The cabinet manufacturer distinguishes between four different levels of customization, which the company showed at the SPS IPC Drives in Hall 5, booths 170 and 270.

    The customer actually needs rarely a complete customized development. In most cases an individual construction of the cabinet with adequate accessories is sufficient. Special individual components, in particular cut-outs and additional mounting holes will, for example, optimize the cabinet concept. Furthermore, air-conditioning requirements, the cabinet construction as well as the design have to be defined together with the customer. The challenge is to find the best cabinet concept for each installation without overloading it!

    On its exhibition stand, häwa showed various cabinets to demonstrate the different levels of customization, based on the proven „häwa option“ from A to D.  häwa's Option A represents the classic range of stock and catalog products, in which the customers themselves carry out all necessary individualization.

    Option B describes cabinets which consist mainly of standard components but include some special features such as individual cut-outs and special individual components. As an example, häwa showed a stainless steel cabinet as well as a modular cabinet, which both included slight modifications of the standard components.

    With Option C, häwa implements specific customer design specifications to create an individual solution. This may include customized measurements,  mounting systems or even a special surface treatment. At the exhibition, häwa presented a cabinet which was designed for packing machines. This is always located on the top of the machine, and a concealed cable routing space with a defined useful height is integrated in the cabinet base. All cabinet surfaces are fully welded without joints and grinded. Furthermore, häwa showed as an example for Option C, a stainless steel cabinet for the food-processing industry. All surfaces that are in contact with the product are welded gap-free with continuous welds. The entire construction is resistant to high-pressure jet cleaners and is UL-certified.

    Option D covers all completely specific constructions. Everything is individually planned, from dimensions, accessibility, protection class, load carrying capacity and cooling to the interior fitting. As an example of such new constructions, häwa showed an enclosure for the use in locomotives and mobile carts. häwa has the welding certificate for rail vehicles and components, certification level CL2 according to DIN EN 15085-2 issued by the German Federal Railway Authority (EBA). The production of these special enclosures and cabinets is only possible due to the verifiable qualification of the häwa welding specialists, since there are special requirements to the dynamic load carrying capacity.
