- Engineering Constraints – As Citywide ATM searched for an enclosure, it found that many manufacturers could not fulfill one or more of the required engineering constraints, while those manufacturers with comprehensive capabilities demanded costs that were extremely prohibitive to the project’s budget.
- Size & Dimensions – The size and dimension configurations were the most limiting factors. The ATM PitBull alarm system is best suited to a vertical orientation, which requires minimal shelf space. The internal components are similarly influenced and require slightly more length than found in commonly available, standard-size enclosures.
Citywide ATM contacted us after hearing that we could both design and finish a modified enclosure and chassis for them, and create that design based on electronic industry standards. Upon calling us, Laurian was pleased to find that the measurement that needed to be increased on one of our custom enclosures happened to be the measurement that our product allowed the most flexibility in customizing. This meant minimal costs for Citywide ATM.
Custom Enclosure Design
Our team took the basic parameters that Citywide ATM gave us and produced drawings of a fabricated chassis, including front and rear panels, and a modified enclosure based on our existing E-Series extruded aluminum enclosures (build-a-box). Our engineers helped Citywide ATM select the E-Series to be customized because the E-Series enclosure offers easy access to internal electronics.
Metal Laser Cutting for Customization
The internal configuration of the enclosure needed to facilitate assembly and post installation internal access. Horizontal slots were provided, allowing a custom chassis (also fabricated by us) to be slid in and out like a drawer. This allowed for convenient assembly, future servicing or upgrading and limited internal access to end users by the use of front and rear cover panels.
Logo Screen Printing
To finish the ATM PitBull alarm system, we screen printed each enclosure with the company’s pit bull logo.
The modified E-Series enclosures were built to Citywide ATM’s exact specifications. These new enclosures helped further the company’s relationships with top-grade American banks and armored-vehicle service organizations by providing top of the line ATM security.
