Introduction
In the industrial sector, designing and manufacturing bespoke products is a challenge, particularly for research and development (R&D) engineers working on innovative projects. One of the most common requirements is the manufacture of Plastic Sloped Enclosures to customer specifications. Thanks to our expertise in plastic sheet bending technology, we can offer a solution without special moulds, ideal for small and medium-sized production runs. This article explores how our Plastic Sloped Enclosures can meet your requirements, while still being the most cost-effective solution.
Plastic Sloped Enclosures: a made-to-measure solution
The manufacture of plastic sloped enclosures differs from that of basic enclosures because of their specific design. Plastic sloped enclosures are often inclined on one or more sides, providing optimum ergonomics for the user. Thanks to our unique expertise in plastic sheet bending technology, we can create plastic sloped enclosures that precisely meet these human-machine interface (HMI) requirements, without the need to invest in expensive moulds or tooling for other plastics processing technologies such as plastic injection moulding.
Manufacturing Without the Need for Specific Tooling to Start a Project: The Advantages
One of the main advantages of our manufacturing method is that it does not require heavy initial investment. For R&D engineers, often faced with an uncertain market and fluctuating sales volumes, this represents a considerable advantage. Here are some specific benefits:
Low cost: Without the costs associated with creating moulds, you can launch your project at a lower cost.
Flexibility: Our process allows you to make changes quickly and easily, whether to adjust the design or add functionality.
Rapid implementation: We can deliver test parts for validation within just 2 to 6 weeks (depending on the complexity of the project).
Project example: Plastic Sloped Enclosure for a Medical Device
Let’s take a concrete example. A customer in the medical sector recently asked us to manufacture a console for a device with an integrated screen used as a man-machine interface. The project required precise specifications, including :
Recess for flexible keyboard: We’ve designed openings to position a flexible membrane keyboard, thereby optimising space and ergonomics.
Openings for connectors: Each console has been customised with openings adapted to the specific connectors on the device.
Personalisation: In addition to the functionality, we added engraving of the customer’s logo and applied a protective varnish, which enhanced the aesthetics while guaranteeing the product’s durability.
These examples illustrate our ability to turn your ideas into reality while offering high-quality, customised solutions.
The most economical solution for small and medium production runs
We understand that the electronics and instrumentation market is evolving rapidly. So the ability to produce small and medium runs is crucial to our customers. By choosing our plastic sloped enclosures, you’ll benefit from:
Risk-free industrialisation: Ideal for pilot projects or first production runs.
Flexibility in the event of changes: The design is easily adaptable, allowing changes to be made without significant additional costs between 2 series production runs.
ISO9001-certified speed of delivery: With production lead times of 4 to 5 weeks for series production, we guarantee responsiveness while ensuring the quality of your made-to-measure plastic sloped enclosures, thanks to our quality management system.
At LTP, we specialise in the design and manufacture of bespoke plastic sloped enclosures, offering flexible and cost-effective solutions for the industrial sector. With over 40 years’ experience, we can help you with your projects, whatever your specific requirements.
