When safeguarding critical kit is your top priority, turn to this desktop enclosure from Hammond. Generous dimensions of 406 (L) x 182 (W) x 203mm (H) mean it has the space to house pneumatic, hydraulic and electrical control devices. A sloped front with a hinged cover gives you easy internal access if you need to tweak settings. As the unit's made of 14-gauge steel with smooth welded seams, it's a great shout for protecting equipment from dirt and dust that could cause harm to sensitive instruments. Thanks to an oil-resistant gasket, you can also expect shielding against oil and water.
