Armagard IP Enclosure

• Protecting computer hardware in harsh industrial environments.
• Housing control systems for automated machinery.
• Securing IT equipment in food processing facilities.
• Providing environmental protection for data acquisition systems.
• Enclosing human-machine interfaces (HMIs) on production lines.

Typical Ingress Protection (IP) Rating

Units of this type commonly feature ratings from IP54 to IP66, indicating protection against dust and water ingress.

Construction Material

Typically constructed from mild steel, stainless steel, or aluminium for durability and corrosion resistance.

Cooling System

Commonly includes fans, air conditioning units, or heat exchangers to manage internal temperatures.

Mounting Options

Often designed for wall mounting, floor standing, or integration into existing rack systems.

Access and Security

Typically features lockable doors and secure cable entry points to prevent unauthorised access and maintain environmental integrity.

Internal Dimensions

Varies significantly, but commonly accommodates standard PC towers, monitors up to 24 inches, and associated peripherals.

• What does 'IP Enclosure' mean?

  An IP Enclosure, or Ingress Protection Enclosure, is designed to protect internal electrical or electronic components from environmental factors such as dust, dirt, and water. The IP rating indicates the level of protection offered.

• Why would I need an Armagard IP Enclosure for PCR Prep & Automation Systems?

• Can this enclosure accommodate a standard desktop PC and monitor?

• What kind of maintenance is required for an IP enclosure?

• Is this unit suitable for outdoor use?

PCR prep and automation systems are valued for improving throughput and consistency in molecular biology workflows. Industry sentiment favours equipment that offers reliable sample handling, reduced contamination risk, and straightforward integration with existing lab infrastructure. When purchasing used units, buyers typically prioritise maintenance history, calibration records, and compatibility with current protocols. Common strengths include robust build quality and long operational lifespans, though mechanical wear on automation components warrants careful inspection. Established manufacturers' systems generally command confidence in secondary markets.
