Verotec has revamped its range of IEEE1101.10/11 compli- ant subrack front panels with an improved design of injec- tor/ejector latching handle that generates greater insertion and extraction force, a superior stainless steel EMC fingered gasket that improves contact with the adjacent panel and a ROSH-compliant iridite finish that gives enhanced conductiv- ity and corrosion resistance.

The latest addition to Verotec’s family of 19 inch rack cases is the Veroshield 19” EMC screened version, which combines the ability to easily mount a wide range of electronic, electric and electro-mechanical equipment in a standard 19” enclosure with good EMC performance. The Veroshield is particularly useful in larger 19” rack-mounted systems where only some elements of the overall equipment require elevated levels of EMC capability; they are also an effective way of providing screening in desktop systems without having to modify a standard enclosure.

The field-proven Diplomat family from Verotec is an elegantly styled enclosure, available as a 19” or 10.5” wide thermally managed, EMC capable unit suitable for housing stand-alone systems, as a 19” caseframe for direct mounting of boards and modules and as a vertical tower unit. Manufactured as standard in 3U, 4U, 6U and 9U heights and depths of 322, 422, 522 and 622mm, the Diplomat is particularly suitable for medical technology application, the research environment and as the housing for a wide variety of desktop instruments.

Designed for use in rail, military, aerospace and other harsh environments where electronic equipment will be subject to shock and vibration during use, the ruggedised KM6-HD subrack system from Verotec is designed to meet MIL-STD 167, the US Department of Defence Test Method Standard

Verotec has introduced a 2U EMC screened, thermally managed and powered IEEE 1101.10/11 desktop or rack mount 19” chassis unit that can be supplied with either a horizontally mounted 6U 4 Slot cPCI or a 6U 4 Slot VME64x backplane

Verotec, the successor company to Vero Electronics and APW, now offer the EPLAX VeroPower family of 3U and 6U 19” subrack pluggable power supplies to add further capability to its KM6 subrack and metal enclosure families. EPLAX, which manufactures in Bremen, Germany, is another direct descendent company from Vero Electronics, which developed the original plug-in modular PSU in 1976.

Verotec offers a wide range of standard backplanes and extender cards for VPX, VME, VME64, VXI and VXS applications, available as either stand-alone components, or integrated into thermally managed systems with subracks, enclosures and power supplies from its range. In addition to supporting VMEbus and its later derivatives, backplanes conforming to the requirements of cPCI, PCI, ATCA and microTCA are also produced, as are units for legacy applications such as STEbus and Multibus. Modified standard or fully custom backplanes are also available to meet specific customer requirements. 

Verotec offers an enormous choice of standard front panel options for its KM6 subracks and its 19” and Eurocard-based metal enclosures. Factory customisation services and bespoke panel fabrication with multi-colour screen printing, engraving, cut-outs, polyester overlays, viewing windows and custom finishes, plus a wide range of tooled support products such as card mounting brackets, handles, gaskets and sealing strips enable rapid modification to meet specific project requirements.

The Eurotec caseframe from Verotec is extremely versatile, with a huge range of configurations available by choosing different combinations of standard parts, with the most popular options defined with a single order code. It is designed for applications that require the housing of Eurocard-based cards or modules in a desktop, 19” rack mount or portable enclosure. Eurotec accepts standard 3U and 6U Eurocards, with standard depths of 240, 360 and 480mm in each option and a choice of backplane or DIN41612 connector rear extrusions.
