Whether they are young or old, everybody knows and loves the Ehrlich Brothers. But what have ROSE Systemtechnik’s handheld enclosures got to do with the famous brothers’ show? The answer is simple – they are used to guarantee the secure, problem-free controlling of the pyrotechnics during the events.

The Ehrlich Brothers have been delighting the fans for many years, presenting their tricks on stage or TV – tricks which look easy to perform, but are actually the result of hard work and countless hours of practising. For every show, the Ehrlich Brothers travel with a crew of 70, and in 10 trucks. More than 30 km of cables need to be laid, and over 500 special effects prepared.

Sturdy, tough enclosures ensure safety

ROSE Systemtechnik’s Pilot 250 handheld enclosure is used to guarantee the safe monitoring and controlling of the pyrotechnics. The sturdy enclosures in the Pilot series provide IP65 ingress protection in accordance with EN 60529, and they have a high level of impact resistance. The operating temperature range is between -40°C and +60°C, which makes these enclosures ideal for use in the pyrotechnics sector. The ergonomic handle and the various sizes also make possible optimised handling for ease-of-use, and also the fitting of a very wide range of components. Other applications for these enclosures can also be found in industry, for example in control and operating systems as used in automation technology, motor vehicles, machine tools, CNC machining centres, special machines or control engineering systems.
