Pentair offers a wide choice of front panels and plug-in units for all kinds of electronics applications, and complements this with Front Panel Express, a rapid customisation service for all 19” and standard Schroff panels.
It is designed to speed up production programmes and provides a perfectly customised product with only a dimensioned drawing required.
The customisation service entails a simple three-step process. The first step is product selection, giving customers a choice of front panels and plug-in units, all available from stock. Variable dimensions are available, from 2U to 9U and from 2 HP to 84 HP, and different surfaces and finishes can be chosen. The product selection conforms to VME, CompactPCI, AdvancedTCA and MicroTCA specifications.
The second step is modification, whereby 2D and 3D CAD data is available for download, in addition to a CAD library of cut-outs for connectors. The customer can then simply upload their customised CAD file including holes, cut-outs, printing, surface finishes or shielding.
Finally, the third step is assembly, at which stage a large range of lever and static handles is available. Other choices offered to the customer include textile or stainless steel EMC shielding, a choice of sleeves and screws, and complete front panel kits with handles or individual components. Pentair also offers a full assembly service.
