CUSTOM FRONT PANELSSPECIAL SHAPES
| | |
|
The Zoltech product line includes dozens of standard front panels, ranging from blank to
those with openings for card cages, disk drives and control panels. Still, you may have
requirements that are not filled by the standard panels. A Custom front panel
retains the outer shape and mounting holes of a standard front panel, but has additional
or different openings for customer-specified purposes. It is often the case, that such
panels also have special colors or nomenclature as well.
Here are a few examples of fully custom front panels that we have provided to our customers.

|
This front panel is a very simple modification of a standard one. The only changes
are the addition of two indicator holes and a white silkscreened legend identifiying
the functions of the two indicators.
|
|
This panel has a standard 7" high foot print, but a 9U wide opening for a front access
card cage. In addition, since the large card cage opening precludes the use of our
standard control panel, openings are provided for descrete power and reset switches.
|
|
This panel is based on our standard 5.25" high design. It has a rectangular opening for
the customer's test fixture connectors. The customer's logo and identification of the
device are silkscreened in gold metallic ink. Since this device was to be used on a
bench-top only, the rack-mounting slots have been deleted from the panel.

|
This is not a full panel per se, but rather a custom version of a front panel cover,
intended to seal the opening in a standard front panel that allows access to a
card cage or other internal components. In this case, the cover has
been modified by adding holes for a vacuum flourescent display module and various
connectors. The panel is still attached to the chassis with quarter-turn fasteners so
that it may be easily removed when access to the interior is required.

|
This panel is shown in rear (from the inside) view. It is based on a standard 7" high
panel. It has an opening and mounting studs for a plasma display module.
|
|
This front panel combines several custom elements. While based on a standard 7" high
panel, it has openings for many test connectors, indicators and controls as well as
a non-standard large opening for a front access card cage (and a clear plastic cover
for that opening. The opening size was non-standard to allow all of the indicators
and connectors to fit. The panel color and labelling are also to customer spec.

| Zoltech can design and fabricate front panels to provide any required openings, colors and labelling to meet your functional and aesthetic requirements. | |
