Front panels - the works

摘要

Front panels are important components of a case, system or subrack because they contribute to the first impression to the end user, explain Martin Traut, Pentair and David Martin, Pentair-Schroff UK. The front panels of a 19inch subrack, system or case must be individually designed and manufactured for each application. Standard, blank panels are available in various sizes and versions but few users have the facilities necessary to efficiently carry out the machining and overprinting that they require. For prototypes, pre-production or small production runs, however, it is often essential to carry out the machining in just a few days, so that any corrections or modifications can be made quickly.
