WHY CUSTOMIZED INSTRUMENT ENCLOSURES ARE THE SMART SOLUTION

Scientific laboratory instrumentation is a rarefied world – highly specialized electronics equipment developed for a select group of customers. So designers of these products have traditionally faced a challenge when specifying enclosures in low volumes.

Opting for a fully bespoke/custom housing can be costly, given the small size of the production run. All that time and cost for such a low number of units. So customising a standard enclosure is the logical alternative. But some standard enclosures are more customizable than others…

All METCASE enclosures are intended to be very customizable indeed. Just like Stephen Covey, every enclosure design starts with the end in mind. The goal is not just to create the best possible standard enclosure for the electronics: it is to create the best customizable enclosure.

That’s because customization is all but inevitable. Every standard enclosure will need to be modified to some degree – even if it’s a simple logo and a few apertures for a power supply, controls and LEDs. So the goal is to make customization as easy as possible, whether it’s:

Furthermore, new technology has sped up the customization process and made it more accessible by reducing set-up times. Faster CNC machining and more advanced digital printing mean low volumes that were once unviable are now perfectly feasible.

So virtually every customer that specifies a standard METCASE enclosure asks for it to be customized. Fully assembled, machined and branded enclosures can go direct to your production line ready for installation of the electronics. Let’s see some examples…
