Compact Lab Equipment Case is an engineered protective case in the instrument case family: built by source factory kexinMaterials with IP67 sealing, impact-resistant PP copolymer or rotomolded PE shells and CNC-cut custom foam; wholesale, OEM and export supported.
An instrument case protects precision measuring and testing equipment in transit, emphasizing shock absorption, moisture resistance and custom foam so instruments stay calibrated between lab and field.
Compact Lab Equipment Case: Product & Manufacturer Overview
For buyers, the true cost of a Compact Lab Equipment Case is more than unit price: carton specs shape freight, and spare parts and replenishment shape long-term use. kexinMaterials optimizes container loading and ships wear-part kits with volume orders to lower your total cost of ownership.
For instrument manufacturers, kexinMaterials runs co-packing programs — we develop a dedicated case and insert from your 3D data and ship in neutral or branded form, lowering warranty damage rates while unifying your delivery image.

Product Feature Breakdown
As a compact case, Compact Lab Equipment Case actually meets sealing and structural targets more easily (short spans, little deflection); the cost driver shifts to hardware share — latches and hinges can exceed 30% of a small case's cost. kexinMaterials substitutes integrally moulded catches to improve the small-case cost structure.
Laboratory cases must survive cleaning and disinfection: if Compact Lab Equipment Case will face repeated sodium-hypochlorite or alcohol wipe-down, specify PP or medical-grade ABS rather than commodity PS, and avoid coated surfaces. kexinMaterials provides a chemical-resistance chart for selection.
How kexinMaterials Compares
| Dimension | kexinMaterials | Generic market cases |
|---|---|---|
| Protection | IP67, thermal-shock verified -40°C↔+71°C | Plain cases fail thermal shock |
| Damping foam | EVA/PU/XLPE CNC-cut to instrument shape | Generic foam under-cushions |
| ESD & clean | Optional anti-static liner, non-shedding XLPE | Sheds debris onto optics |
| Rigidity | ABS high surface hardness, high crush strength | PP softens under stacking |
| MOQ | From 50 pcs, non-standard sizes toolable | Often 500 pcs min |
| Certification | Drop/vibration test reports provided | Incomplete docs |
Standards & Industry Data
IP Ratings (IEC 60529)
In IP67, the “6” means dust-tight (no dust ingress after a 2 kPa vacuum dust test) and the “7” means temporary immersion: the enclosure survives 30 minutes at 1 m depth with its highest point at least 150 mm below the surface, per IEC 60529 Clause 14.2.7.
Extreme Temperature Performance
Engineering-grade cases typically operate from -30°C to +80°C (military testing follows MIL-STD-810H Methods 501.7/502.7 for temperature and 503.7 for thermal shock, cycling as wide as -40°C↔+71°C). For cold climates choose PP copolymer or PE shells — standard ABS embrittles at low temperatures.
Foam Inserts (EVA / PU / XLPE)
Three insert materials dominate: EVA (closed-cell, waterproof, firm support for precision instruments), PU foam (open-cell, soft cushioning, economical) and XLPE (chemically inert, non-shedding — preferred for medical and optics). CNC pockets are cut from the equipment's 3D data; drawing-to-first-sample typically takes 1–2 weeks.
Typical Applications
- Surveying instrument field carry
- Third-party lab on-site sampling
- Metrology equipment calibration logistics
- Fiber-optic construction toolkits
- Laboratory relocation and equipment loans
- Manufacturer co-packing programs
Product Overview
The kexinMaterials Compact Lab Equipment Case is one-piece molded from engineering plastics, balancing impact strength, sealing and long-term durability — available from stock or fully customized. Key specs below.
On process: the Compact Lab Equipment Case can be injection, rotational or blow molded. Injection gives precise sealing and repeatability; rotomolding yields large seamless shells with thick-wall toughness; blow molding suits light, economical builds. kexinMaterials runs all three lines and matches the process to your protection grade and budget.
For interior protection, the Compact Lab Equipment Case ships with or accepts CNC-cut EVA/PE foam, routed to your equipment's 3D data so nothing shifts in transit; precision instruments can add ESD-safe or cushioned layered structures.
On quality, the Compact Lab Equipment Case passes batch drop, stack and immersion checks; key models can be tested to MIL-STD-810H for drop and vibration, with material and third-party test reports supplied for export and industry acceptance.
Manufacturing Process
High-pressure injection molding keeps shell tolerances tight for reliable sealing, and inserts are CNC-cut after drop-simulation checks. Volume co-packing projects follow a PDI inspection routine so cushioning performance stays consistent across batches.
Field Case Studies
600 anti-static liner cases for precision calibrators using non-shedding XLPE; zero scratch incidents in annual off-site checks.
3,000 cases CNC-cut to probe shapes, thermal-shock verified -40°C↔+71°C, protecting gear across overseas expos.
