Machining for panel enclosures can be expensive, and precision isn’t always guaranteed. Technology and equipment continue to evolve and improve to deliver enclosure panels that are exact. As a leader in custom control panel design and assembly, Kasa Controls & Automation began to investigate ways to reduce costs, increase capacity, and enhance accuracy for these components. As a result, the company has invested in a Perforex machine.
What Is a Perforex Machine Center?
Perforex is a piece of machining equipment designed for control panel manufacturers. It provides an automated approach to tasks that have been historically expensive and time-consuming due to manual tasks. The system is programmable to drill holes, tap threads and cut required openings. It accelerates the ˜process to deliver repeatable machining of mounting panels and doors, roof plates, and side panels.
It uses standalone layout software with a database architecture, enabling pick-and-place design. In addition, it interfaces with standard CAD systems, which allows users to run simulations to ensure design competence without wasting time or materials.
What’s the Value for Kasa Customers with this New Equipment?
Currently, the industry is experiencing ever-increasing lead times. Perforex helps mitigate this challenge. Kasa can procure standard off-the-shelf enclosures, which are more readily available, then customize them in-house. The result is the ability to deliver custom enclosures more quickly.
The benefits of this new equipment are tremendous for OEMs that require a large volume of identical enclosures. Any type of industry or market that needs these panels will appreciate the speed and precision facilitated by Perforex.
How Fast Can the Perforex Work to Produce Panels?
The time saving is significant since the machine automates and is reprogrammable for any specifications. Kasa’s capacity allows for quick turnarounds on jobs dependent on the volume of work.
