The original enclosure was a standard Hubbel Wigman Enclosure from Automation Direct. This enclosure stood the test of time, but was a standard steel enclosure around high pressure water. Over the years the cabinet began to rust out, to the point that some of the wiring would be under water from time to time.
Finally, the machine had been through a variety of variations throughout the years and was a rat's nest of wiring, that was at risk of failing or shorting out.
When the Customer decided it was time to replace the aging controls systems on this machine, they wanted to simplify the controls, centralize all the controls in one enclosure, put a polycarbonate enclosure in instead of steel, and finally use a Productivity PLC (the new standard in their facility).
