WISKA COMBI 1210: More interior space and variable applications |
 01.06.2011, Kaltenkirchen – WISKA has expanded its successful product range of the COMBI-junction boxes by a new model. COMBI 1210 offers significantly more interior space than its predecessor and also more comfort in installation.
With its dimensions of 160 x 140 x 81 mm, the new COMBI offers optimum installation conditions through its expanded interior. The housing has 10 cable entries with integrated M20 threads and soft membranes that can be broken out as needed to a size of M25. COMBI 1210 has mounting options for plates and mounting rails in the ground. Four additional self-sealing membrane outlets in the ground allow for clean installation on the wall while covering their cable outputs. Inside, the proven overhead double screw clamps can be installed on opposite sides. Furthermore, the junction box has an enclosure lid with optional tamper seal. When using armored cables, earthing plates are used to connect metal cable glands.
Available accessories include screw clamps, adaptors to connect several boxes via the soft membrane and mounting rails for terminal blocks. Like all junction boxes of WISKA, COMBI 1210 is a development of the in-house R&D department and has been proved by numerous quality tests. In this way, WISKA ensures that all products meet highest quality management standards.
All advantages of the COMBI-family
WISKA COMBI-junction boxes are ideally suited for industrial installations and for commercial and residential buildings. The boxes are flame-retardant and halogen-free and they guarantee a high resistance to animal or vegetable fats, mineral oil, diesel, acids, alkaline solution and alcohol. As they are weather-proof and resistant to ultraviolet, they are eminently suitable for outdoor installations.
A major advantage of COMBI is its easy and quick installation: Through the integrated thread cable glands can be assembled directly and without locknuts. The patented combination of thread and self-sealing soft membrane saves times and does not need any additional tool. COMBI boxes meet IP 66/67 and are immediately recognizable by its bellied cover which provides 10% more interior space. The high ruggedness of the product line also consists of the captive and rust-free quick-release lid screws made of plastic. With only a quarter turn these screws open and close the COMBI quickly and easily.

WISKA presents new EMC-insert and Ex-adaptors |
|
|
 20.04.2011, Kaltenkirchen - At Hannovermesse 2011, WISKA presented its new EMC-insert for cable glands for the first time. The contact spring insert guarantees a complete and continuous EMC protection and allows for shield extension. It is assembled quickly and easily and also after disassembly the cable shield stays undamaged.
As a further novelty, WISKA also offers several new Ex-d adaptors: They equalize different thread types and sizes and are available in diverse threads (metric, PG, NPT) and materials (brass, stainless steel, aluminium). They will appear in diverse female and male threads shortly.
The product highlights are completed by the cable glands according to British Standard BS 6121.
For the first time, WISKA also presented its maritime CCTV camera surveillance systems, floodlights and lighting fixtures at the leading fair WIND in Hanover. They are all prepared for applications under extreme environmental conditions and are already being successfully applied to the first offshore windparks. www.wiska.de

New Hygienic Design Cable Gland by WISKA |
|
HatGLAND: Tight & Clean |
 17.11.2010, Kaltenkrichen - WISKA expanded its range of special cable glands by another innovation. HatGLAND was designed specifically for use in hygiene-relevant application areas like the food industry.
The new WISKA HatGLAND cable gland is resistant against contamination, robust and very tight against chemical and high-pressure cleaning – all of which are particularly important for sensitive industries such as food production, where machines and plants need to be designed according to high hygiene requirements. This applies to housings and cable glands just as well. The components are subject to extreme cleaning processes that they need to resist in any case.
Give Contamination No Chance
Grooves, pockets, recesses or protrusions where dirt particles can collect were consistently avoided when HatGLAND was developed. The new cable gland also has an over-proportionally slanted build with an inclination of 25 percent, ensuring quick runoff of liquids. The gap-free sealing concept of hygiene-compliant material and a seal equipped either with EPDM, silicon or FDA-approved elastomers give foreign materials no chance of entering the housing and impairing operation. Another effect is a reduction of the cleaning and maintenance effort.
Great Interest from Hygiene-Sensitive Industries
The high requirements to cleanliness and cleaning make the dirt-repellent, tight design of the Hat-GLAND ideal for use in the food industry, medical and clean-room technology, biotechnology and chemical industry. "We first presented the HatGLAND cable gland to a specialist audience on this year's architecture and technology exhibition Light+Building in Frankfurt am Main and on the world's largest industry trade fair in Hanover," says Ronald Hoppmann, General Manager of WISKA. "In particular the food and chemical industries showed an extraordinary interest." The stainless steel gland is installed easily from the inside with a locknut through oblong holes at nominal sizes of 12 to 63 mm. Housing wall thicknesses of up to 10 mm are possible. HatGLAND is also available as an EMC version.

New cable glands und classifications |
|
|
 07.10.2010, Kaltenkirchen - WISKA is going to present its comprehensive range of cable glands as well as its new highlights CLIXX and HatGLAND at the SPS/IPC/DRIVES show in Nuremberg, from 23 – 25 November.
HatGLAND is an in-house designed cable gland following the high demands of Hygienic Design in, for instance, the food and chemical industry as well as medical technology. The new WISKA cable gland has a 25 % slope construction form and avoids any recesses or grooves. Therefore, it allows for a clean draining of liquids and avoids any dirt collection. Completed by the gap-free sealing concept, HatGLAND meets with all requirements in terms of cleaning of components in plant construction.
The new two-component cable entry CLIXX consists of a membrane in its inner part, through which a cable only needs to be pushed and will get strain-relief at the same time. CLIXX itself is clipped into the hole from the outside without any thread – its sealing lip and snap fit ensure a reliable sealing within the enclosure. Compared to a standard cable gland, the IP 66/67 CLIXX saves up to 80 % of assembly time. Thanks to its space-saving and inconspicuous form, it is particularly suitable for hard-to-reach places and design fields of applications, for instance, in the lighting and building services engineering, switching gear construction and solar energy.
But also with its already established product range, WISKA is well prepared for new markets: The complete SPRINT cable gland system has been certified by the UL (Underwriters Laboratories) for the American market. After several WISKA cable glands had already been certified by GOST-R, now also all EX cable glands and accessories have been approved accordingly to the Russian market.

WISKA presents extended product range at SMM |
|
|
 06.09.2010, Kaltenkirchen - WISKA will present the latest product innovations in the field of maritime lighting solutions and CCTV camera surveillance at the SMM world trade fair for shipbuilding in 2010. The extended lighting program is a main focus, by which WISKA is positioning themselves as a complete supplier for ship lighting with their new floodlights, multi-purpose luminaires and LED lighting. All products meet the high maritime quality requirements and will be continually developed in terms of energy efficiency and environmental friendliness. They are supplemented by the searchlight range with the typical WISKA octagonal stainless steel casing. A new searchlight with halogen bulb and a reflector diameter of merely 200 mm completes the size spectrum and also guarantees the usual easy maintenance.
The day signalling searchlight HML-ISO 35, with its ergonomic form, is particularly easy to use, for example by its comfortable aiming and signalling, the integrated SOS function and LED battery display. It electronically identifies the applied operating voltage and can be operated with 12V and 24V DC. Exchanging the halogen lamps and glass mirrors does not require any tools. The WISKA Suez Canal searchlight SKS 575 impresses with its 80 % smaller design compared to its predecessor and has a reduced weight by 20 % as well. When it is not being used, it is additionally protected by a protective cover on the front pane. It can be used on all ships, regardless of the ship´s size.
In the field of explosion-proof products, WISKA is offering an explosion-proof CCTV camera for the first time. As with all CCTV products, the explosion-proof camera can be fully integrated with all components in the on-board network and will be ATEX approved shortly. The explosion-proof pan & tilt unit is also in preparation for market entry.
WISKA is enlarging their product range of electrical installation components and now offers metal cable ties with zero halogen plastic coating and fire protection classification V0. These bundle and fasten cables, for example to cable trays, and are safety-relevant in case of a fire due to their coating and the fire protection classification.
