News around POLYRACK

Straubenhardt, June 25, 2014 - POLYRACK TECH-GROUP has published its new main catalog. It gives developers an overview of the complete range of products and services across all eight of the company's service areas.  

The new 728-page print catalog demonstrates the entire expertise of the enclosure specialist. The business areas listed in the main catalog are as follows: Development and Design, Mechanics, System Technology / Electronics, Plastics Technology, Surface Processing, Customized Solutions, Standard Products and Services. "The bundling of all our products and services in one catalog impressively demonstrates the wide range of materials and production technologies available to our customers when developing enclosures," explains Andreas Rapp, Managing Director of POLYRACK TECH-GROUP. "With this broad positioning, we can offer the entire range of electronic packaging solutions from a single source. "The POLYRACK Group includes the companies RAPP Kunststofftechnik GmbH, RAPP Oberflächenbearbeitung GmbH, POLYRACK Electronic-Aufbausysteme GmbH and econ solutions GmbH.

The POLYRACK catalog focuses on the extensive range of standard products - starting with 19'' subracks, through enclosures and system technology to front panels and plug-in units. This strong portfolio represents an ideal starting position for customer-specific enclosure solutions. "In most cases, our customers first select a standard product from the catalog, on which we then jointly add further features to adapt it to individual requirements step by step," says Rapp. "That's why we designed the catalog as a clear orientation aid. It clearly shows the wide range of services offered by our group of companies. "Examples of customer-specific solutions demonstrate how these standard products can be individualized.

The new main catalog of POLYRACK TECH-GROUP is available in four languages (German, English, French and Russian). Interested parties can request their copy via the POLYRACK website www.polyrack.com, by phone on 07082 / 7919-0 or by e-mail at sales@polyrack.com. On request, developers can also download individual brochures on each of the eight service areas as PDF files.

POLYRACK TECH-GROUP closed the 2013 financial year with Group sales of EUR 42.4 million. The specialist for electronic packaging solutions thus achieved an increase of a good 4% compared to the previous year and is continuing its growth trajectory on its 35th anniversary.

Heat sinks, fans or heat conduction pastes are usually the means of choice to dissipate heat. But they are often oversized, too expensive or both. Smart solutions that take advantage of the individual situation, on the other hand, can be designed to fit precisely - and usually at lower cost. The only prerequisite: thermal management must be incorporated into the development at an early stage.

Vending machines for indoor and outdoor use place special demands on the housing technology, e.g. high shock tolerance and protection against vandalism. Often, complex metal constructions with sheet metal, bending, welding or casting technology are used here. With the help of an intelligent material mix and a modern manufacturing method, the POLYRACK TECH- GROUP was able to develop a far more cost-efficient housing solution for a ticket vending machine.
