Systec & Solutions GmbH has further optimized their HMI systems. An in-house development of the stainless-steel locking screw in the form of a pentagon replaces the previous version with a slit. The locking screw is made of stainless steel and can be used for M20- and M32 openings in their HMI systems, where, e.g. the service USB port is located. The new shape makes cleaning significantly easier for customers. They also benefit from additional safety in cleanrooms. To open the screw, a special tool is needed that is delivered with the HMI system so that not just anybody in the operating environment can open the screw. The new locking screws will now be gradually introduced as standard in HMI systems of Systec & Solutions.
