Thanks to the individual consulting approach häwa GmbH offers cabinets according to customer needs. The cabinet manufacturer distinguishes between four individual levels of customisation.
It is rare that a customer actually needs a complete customer specified development. In most cases an individual assembly of the cabinet with respective system accessories is sufficient. Special individual components, particular knockouts and additional drill holes for assembly optimise the cabinet concept in the installation. Furthermore, the cooling requirements, methods of cabinet assembly and design aspects have to be defined with the customer. The challenge is to find the optimum cabinet concept for each installation without overloading it!
On their stand häwa displays, with help of different cabinets, the four levels of customisation, following the tried and tested “häwa-option” from A to D:
häwa’s option A describes the classic warehouse and catalogue programme, in which the customer chooses themselves the individualisation. A thought out – but not overloaded – cabinet concept is compulsory. häwa displays such a thought out bayed cabinet of type H395. Including mounted “Lütze assembly system”. The combination of the Lütze system in conjunction with a häwa cabinet results in a high user-friendliness, optimum space utilisation, reduced assembly and installation times as well as an optimised ventilation in the cabinet.
Option B describes those cabinets, which still consist mainly of standard components, but include some customization like individual knockouts and special individual components. häwa demonstrates a cabinet, that in this case has been developed especially for molding machines, in which the mounting panel as well as the top and bottom cover are individually processed and mounted according to customer specifications. We therefore deal with a derivation from the standard bayed cabinet. The advantage: The customer can choose from a wide range of accessory components, as these can be adapted from the standard range. The cabinet is a completely finished product according to customer specifications – including delivery to the customer site – at a fair price.
With option C häwa implements the customer design specifications. This can start with customer specific measurements, continue with a customer specific assembly system and possibly end with a special surface treatment. At the exhibition häwa demonstrates a cabinet with a width of 650 mm and a height of 2100 mm (including pedestal) that has a depth of 950 mm. Details like bespoke doors, side walls, cable entry plate and EMC gaskets are tailored to the application profile, in this instance to the use in paper production plants.
Option D covers all bespoke customer developments. Under the motto “back to the machines” these cabinets are usually used directly at the machine head. Everything is individually planned, from the dimensions, accessibility, and degree of protection, load capacity and cooling, to the interior equipment. As an example of these new developments häwa demonstrates a controlling cabinet built to customer specifications with single-winged hinged doors at the front and back.
