Full Project Story

From initial concept to final delivery –every detail of this custom fabrication project

1Project Background

Industrial electrical systems and outdoor infrastructure keep expanding –distribution boxes sit inside clean distribution rooms, on factory walls, and on poles and posts exposed to rain, sun and dust. In 2026, a leading electrical equipment provider launched a large-scale program for a single junction box family that had to perform reliably in both indoor and outdoor settings.

The enclosure protects wiring terminals, control modules and circuit components, so any water or dust ingress is a direct field-failure and safety risk. IP65 was a non-negotiable requirement.

2Client Pain Points

The customer’s previous supplier could not hold a consistent seal at volume:

  • Bending variations and uneven sealing grooves let water leak in during rain tests.
  • Indoor units looked dull and patchy, while outdoor units chalked after UV exposure.
  • Enclosures dented easily during installation and on site.
  • Across a 6,000-unit run, dimensions drifted enough to complicate DIN rail mounting.

3Technical Challenges

We faced four hard challenges:

  • Holding a stable IP65 seal across mass production, where bending tolerances usually break the seal.
  • Delivering clean indoor aesthetics alongside UV-, rain- and corrosion-resistant outdoor performance.
  • Keeping the box light enough to install yet rigid enough against impact.
  • Maintaining identical appearance, size and sealing across 6,000 units.

4Our Custom Solution

We rebuilt the sealing system from the groove outward. Precision-milled sealing grooves, high-precision CNC bending and custom-molded waterproof silicone gaskets work together, and every unit passes an online air-integrity seal test before it leaves the line.

  • 1.2mm galvanized steel cut on an 8kW fiber laser under nitrogen.
  • Indoor-grade powder coating for clean, consistent aesthetics; outdoor-grade coating with anti-UV, anti-rain and anti-corrosion properties.
  • FEA-optimized internal reinforcing ribs raised structural strength by 25% without adding weight.
  • Standardized cable entry holes and mounting positions for fast field wiring.
  • SPC real-time monitoring with sampling inspection every 100 units.

5Actual Benefits

The 6,000-unit order shipped 5 days ahead of the 45-day schedule and passed 100% of dimensional, IP65, salt-spray and coating adhesion tests.

  • No water ingress or dust buildup reported after field deployment.
  • Outdoor units show no fading or chalking under UV exposure.
  • Indoor units maintain a clean, uniform finish in distribution rooms.

6Client Testimonial

For six thousand units, the seal never failed a single rain test. The indoor and outdoor finishes are both exactly to spec, and our installers report the boxes go together without shimming. SanJun Hardware is now our exclusive sheet metal supplier for the entire junction box series.
