CHALLENGE
Sensis required an enclosure design for its next generation of remote sensing units that satisfied both the EMC and NEMA 4/12 requirements.
The enclosure that the remote unit line replaceable units (LRUs) are installed within was required to be NEMA 4/12 compliant and provide electromagnetic (EMC) shielding against radiated and conducted emissions emanating from within the enclosure. Furthermore, the medical enclosure needed to assist with thermal cooling of all of the internal components to prevent overheating of the LRUs.
“It was critical that the sensing units be carefully and precisely engineered–air traffic control monitoring allows no room for error” stated Robert Gardiner, Hardware Engineering Supervisor of Sensis. “The product is used world-wide in sensitive environments and various climate zones, requiring a very dependable product.”
SOLUTION
MPE design engineers and Sensis hardware engineers worked closely to create an enclosure that functioned seamlessly with the remote sensing units and met strict industry standards. MPE also installed rails to provide heat transfer from the LRUs to the ambient air surrounding the enclosure, going beyond what was required.
RESULTS
MPE created a dependable, versatile medical enclosure that will be used for Sensis systems, worldwide.
“MPE met and exceeded our expectations in every way. Their tooling and manufacturing capabilities surpassed what we’ve experienced with other vendors” noted Gardiner. “They helped create a superior product from the valuable input in manufacturability and quality inspection tooling processes they provided. Their team of experts even identified a necessary adjustment for improved flange uniformity–changing the 0º flange angle to a -15º flange angle.”

ECG Workstation Cart Case Study
CHALLENGEA well-known cardiology medicial client desired to redesign its existing ECG workstation cart in order to deliver an even better experience for the end user. The updated medical cart would reflect customer requirements and provide a scaleable platform for other products in the line - all while meeting extremely tight production deadlines.
SOLUTIONIncorporating voice of the customer (VOC) feedback, MPE acted fast to develop a new workstation design that placed the ECG system, ancillary components and supplies within easier reach of the user.
RESULTSMPE worked quickly and effectively with the client to develop the ultimate in user friendly ECG carts. Following approval of the design, MPE developed three functional prototypes within six weeks to display at a critical trade show. Four months later, MPE shipped 1,000 production units – fully assembled and ready to operate – to meet the client’s aggressive timeline.
