Pentair Introduces the Hoffman Tablet Enclosure and Stand as a Ruggedized Protection Solution for iPad Devices

MINNETONKA, MN, December 13, 2012 (Press-News.org) Pentair Equipment Protection introduces the Hoffman tablet enclosure and stand for iPad devices. This heavy-duty, secure tablet protection solution provides industrial-strength shielding and security for iPad 2 and 3 devices used in demanding environments, such as manufacturing plants.

The Hoffman tablet solution is designed to accommodate a multitude of application requirements, easily adjusting to four different heights without the use of tools. The modular stand may also be disassembled for easy portability. For enhanced flexibility, operators can remove the enclosure from the stand and mount it with a low-profile, wall- or table-mount for space-restricted areas.

"With the power, capacity and convenience that tablet devices offer, many of our customers are implementing them into applications in challenging environments," said Lisa Salmi, Product Manager, Pentair Equipment Protection. "To ensure users can effectively employ tablet devices without worrying about damage, abuse or theft, the rugged tablet enclosure and stand provides the right degree of protection and security even in harsh factory conditions."

A wide range of accessories is available, including:

- Tablet carrying case protects iPad device with shatter-resistant polycarbonate frame in rugged, shock-absorbing silicone
- Kensington keylock secures tablet enclosure to stand
- Caster kit provides four swivel locking casters that are easily mounted to bottom of stand
- Tablet charging cord for continuous powering of iPad 2 and iPad 3 devices
