Electroquip in Industrial Automation
Our commitment goes beyond meeting customer needs; it’s about propelling the industrial automation sector forward through precision-engineered mechanical solutions. Recognizing mechanical design’s significance as the foundation of reliable, long-lasting products, we have established comprehensive in-house capabilities. Our mechanical engineering team takes a holistic approach, envisioning product lifecycles from initial concept through decades of field operation as we continue to focus on manufacturability, durability, and functional excellence.
ENGINEERED FOR INDUSTRIAL EXCELLENCE
The Electroquip Mechanical Design division was established with a singular purpose: to provide specialized engineering expertise that transforms concepts into robust, manufacturable products. Equipped with cutting-edge CAD technology and backed by over 30 years of industrial experience, our commitment is to assist automation engineers and equipment manufacturers in creating enclosures, mounting systems, and structural components that withstand demanding industrial environments while optimizing thermal management, accessibility, and cost-effectiveness.
Product Enclosure Design
Industrial electronics demand protection that goes beyond basic housing. Electroquip’s enclosure design expertise ensures your control systems, instrumentation, and automation equipment operate reliably in the harshest conditions.
We design custom housings tailored to your specific requirements—considering environmental protection (IP54, IP65, IP66 ratings), thermal management strategies, operator accessibility, and professional aesthetics that reflect your brand identity. Our enclosures protect sensitive electronics from dust, moisture, temperature extremes, and mechanical impact while providing intuitive access for maintenance and operator interaction.
From wall-mounted control panel enclosures to floor-standing operator stations and DIN-rail mounted component housings, our designs balance protection with functionality. We specify appropriate materials—powder-coated mild steel, stainless steel for corrosive environments, or engineered plastics for weight-sensitive applications—ensuring the enclosure matches your operational demands and budget constraints.
3D CAD Modeling & Design Validation
Precision begins with comprehensive digital prototyping. Our mechanical engineering team utilizes industry-standard CAD software (SolidWorks, AutoCAD) to create detailed 3D models that serve as complete digital prototypes before manufacturing begins.
This visualization enables early detection of design issues, verification of component fit and clearances, and validation of assembly sequences. Our 3D models provide accurate dimensional data for manufacturing documentation, facilitate design reviews with stakeholders, and enable rapid iteration based on feedback—all before committing to physical prototypes.
Detailed 3D modeling minimizes costly manufacturing errors, accelerates time-to-market, and ensures first-time-right fabrication. We provide complete CAD files, manufacturing drawings with GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing), assembly instructions, and bill of materials (BOM) for seamless handoff to production.
Design for Manufacturing (DFM)
Great designs must also be manufacturable economically. Electroquip’s DFM approach optimizes mechanical designs to balance functionality with production efficiency, reducing manufacturing costs while maintaining quality and performance standards.
We analyze designs for material selection optimization, manufacturing process compatibility (sheet metal fabrication, CNC machining, casting, or plastic molding), assembly simplification, and standardized component usage. Our DFM review identifies opportunities to reduce part count, eliminate complex features that increase cost without adding value, and specify materials that are readily available and cost-effective.
This manufacturing-focused design philosophy results in products that are easier to build, faster to assemble, and more economical to produce—without compromising the functional requirements or durability your application demands. Whether you’re building one custom unit or preparing for volume production, our DFM expertise ensures your mechanical design is production-ready.
