We are developing the model 3401EC, which features an easy close mechanism (EC) for the heavy-duty model 3401.
The evaluation tests for the functionality of this model have been completed, and we are making final preparations for mass production. We plan to ship sample products made with molds around March next year.
■Product Benefits
This product is advantageous for storing relatively heavy units (around 80kg), such as financial terminals. When a unit is stored with strong force, a strong impact occurs on the unit and the main body before it is completely closed. As a result, it can negatively affect other devices and components on the main body.
The 3401EC mitigates the impact with a shock absorber just before it completely closes, gently pulling the unit in from that position. Additionally, if it is closed quietly, a light push is all that is needed for the spring to pull it in and close softly and quietly.
This reduces the frequency of replacing parts affected by impacts, leading to overall cost reduction. This product is planned to be offered as standard items, with even-numbered part numbers ranging from 20 (slide length 508mm) to 30 (same length 762mm).
