Bocube Alu

Bocube Alu is a modern industrial enclosure in terms of design and assembly, made of aluminum while maintaining high protection standards.

The recess in the cover allows for flush mounting of displays and/or keyboards while leaving large side areas for attaching cable glands. A precisely installed neoprene or silicone gasket ensures a high IP protection rating according to DIN EN 60529. It meets the R1 or R7 requirements under the DIN EN 45545-2 hazard level HL3 standard and UL certification requirements. The aluminum Bocube Alu enclosure line corresponds in shape to the plastic Bocube enclosures, allowing for a consistent marketing image of devices depending on the material used.

The testing was carried out by the renowned European laboratory RST Rail System Testing GmbH. Below are the test results

In addition to ensuring safety in terms of the coating along with the required documentation during technical inspections, Bopla enclosures provide maximum protection against water, dust, and mechanical damage (achieving impact protection rating IK09 according to IEC 62262 standards).

All Bopla enclosures are tested for IP rating according to DIN EN 60529, as detailed below.

According to the manufacturer, we emphasize once again that the IP rating of a non-machined enclosure cannot be automatically applied to a machined one, as machining results in a loss of the IP rating declared for the non-machined enclosure. New testing must be performed, and the achieved IP rating must be documented for the device. At Bopla, we conduct such tests for typical railway or bus applications involving aluminum enclosures with conduit connectors or cable glands. Watch the video of our test conducted on the Bopla Euromas Alu enclosure catalog number A 140 measuring 230 x 200 x 110 mm and the A 110 enclosure measuring 125 x 80 x 60 mm—the most popular sizes for railway applications. We achieved IP 68 certification confirmed by Bopla's internal certificate!!!

Certificate No. 982 IPx8 test compliant with DIN EN 60529

Additional corrosion protection for aluminum enclosures

At Bopla, we can also secure the enclosure with an additional protective coating so that the enclosures meet the requirements of ISO 9227 (960h salt spray test). To meet this standard, aluminum enclosures must undergo surface treatment and appropriate painting. In the salt spray test, the following results can be achieved: 1000 hours: passivation + powder coating 336 hours: passivation only (high concentration) on uncoated aluminum.

Key Features of Bocube Alu:

Thanks to its modern design, Bocube Alu sets new design trends in the die-cast enclosure sector.

Recess in the cover for flush mounting of displays and/or keyboards while leaving large side areas for attaching cable glands. Accessories for wall mounting are available.

The integrated hinge provides easy access to the interior without unscrewing all the cover screws.

All components are permanently attached to the enclosure during assembly, installation, or servicing. This ensures Bocube Alu complies with the EU Machinery Directive.

Versions resistant to seawater (SWB) or with additional anti-corrosion protection or EMC gasket are available upon request.

In our store, you will find the full range of standard Bocube Alu enclosures by Bopla, for which Soyter Components is an authorized distributor in Poland. For information on the availability of non-standard dimensions or colors, please contact us at: handlowy@soyter.pl.
