Full Project Story

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

1Project Background

Industrial automation and power distribution systems keep growing in power density, which makes the enclosure as important as the electronics inside. In 2026, a leading power electronics manufacturer commissioned a custom power box line to house its latest generation of power modules, PCBs and wiring harnesses.

The boxes would live on factory floors, in control rooms and inside machine frames, so they had to shed heat, keep dust out and stay compact enough for space-constrained retrofits.

2Client Pain Points

The customer’s previous supplier could not meet three core needs:

  • Electronics ran hot because the enclosure offered no real cooling path.
  • Dust buildup on factory floors caused intermittent failures and field visits.
  • Enclosures were either too large for retrofits or too weak to support heavy power modules.

Connector alignment was another pain point –mismatched holes meant the customer’s wiring harnesses had to be reworked on site.

3Technical Challenges

Our team focused on four technical challenges:

  • Balancing active ventilation against IP54 dust and water protection.
  • Keeping the footprint compact while carrying heavy internal power modules.
  • Mating standard power connectors and wiring harnesses without rework.
  • Holding 350 units to consistent dimensions, finish and sealing.

4Our Custom Solution

We built the housing from 1.0mm cold-rolled galvanized steel, then added a multi-layer ventilation system with precision-punched slots on the top cover and front panel, plus removable dust filters that operators can service without special tools.

  • FEA-optimized internal reinforcing ribs raised structural strength by 20% without enlarging the footprint.
  • Laser-positioned connector holes held to ±0.01mm for seamless harness fit.
  • Indoor- and outdoor-grade powder coatings selected for control room vs factory use.
  • High-density foam gaskets along every seam for IP54 sealing.
  • SPC monitoring with sampling inspection every 25 units across the batch.

5Actual Benefits

The 350-unit order shipped 4 days ahead of the 30-day schedule with a 100% pass rate on every dimensional, IP54, thermal and connector-fit test.

  • Field units run at stable temperatures under full load, with no overheating incidents.
  • Dust ingress eliminated, cutting unplanned service visits.
  • Connectors mate on the first try –no on-site rework needed.
