What is the process for selecting a NEMA rated industrial enclosure for a manufacturing environment? Purchasing an enclosure from a ‘big-name’ supplier does not mean that the enclosure is the best fit for the equipment or the end users that will be using the enclosure system. From a functionality standpoint, the enclosure’s worth may far […]
Stainless Steel, NEMA 4X enclosures (304 or 316 SS with a NEMA 4X rating) are ideal for harsh, industrial environments where corrosive liquids pose a threat to electronic equipment. A NEMA 4X rating ensures that the enclosure is approved for indoor and outdoor use, and will provide protection against corrosion, dust, splashing fluids/liquids and hose […]
If you have ever watched the popular Food Network TV shows “Food Factory” and “Unwrapped” or Discovery Channel’s “How It’s Made,” you were probably amazed at the intricate processes involved in producing food products, like biscuits, cotton candy, chocolate mints, or caramel apples. The ‘best practices’ procedure that goes into making a simple snack or […]
During the manufacturing or assembly process, the food/beverage and pharmaceutical industries must adhere to strict regulations regarding product safety. Contamination must be avoided at all costs. Industrial plants and factories must ensure that all process machinery and equipment, including heavy-duty computer enclosures, are regularly cleaned (usually a sanitizing washdown) and contaminant-free. The decontaminating washdown […]
Computers, monitors, printers, and other electronics support production tracking, labeling, equipment control, and daily manufacturing tasks. But dust, grease, moisture, and temperature extremes can damage that equipment and interrupt the work it supports. Industrial enclosures for manufacturing help protect sensitive electronics while keeping them accessible on the factory floor. The right solution matches the equipment, […]
Using an interactive touchscreen – on a production floor – is quickly becoming the norm in factory environments. A touchscreen can eliminate the need for an industrial keyboard and mouse. For manufacturing users, it creates an efficient source for inputting data or keeping track of inventory. Can a touchscreen be used in a NEMA rated […]
The NEMA 4 TITAN computer enclosure by ITSENCLOSURES is ideal for any harsh shop floor, warehouse, factory, or loading dock. Intended for both indoors and outdoors, the computer enclosure is an all-in-one industrial workstation, which will protect a PC, monitor, printer, and electronics from dust, dirt, hose directed fluids, corrosive materials, and most weather conditions (rain, snow, sleet, ice). The […]
Computers, monitors, printers, servers, and other electronics generate heat during operation. Inside an industrial computer enclosure, that heat needs to be managed to support reliable performance and reduce the risk of heat-related downtime. A filtered fan system can provide practical cooling when the surrounding air and required enclosure protection allow it. Before selecting a system, […]
Computers, monitors, touchscreens, and other electronics help keep industrial processes running. But in facilities where flammable gases, vapors, combustible dust, or other hazardous materials may be present, installing this equipment requires special care. A computer enclosure for a hazardous environment must be selected based on more than its strength or ability to resist dust and […]
NEMA 4X computer enclosures help protect sensitive electronics from water, contaminants, and corrosive conditions. For washdown applications, look beyond the enclosure rating: construction materials, surface design, hinges, and mounting options also affect equipment protection and ease of cleaning. What Does NEMA 4X Mean for a Computer Enclosure? NEMA 4X describes a level of environmental protection […]
