Foreword

Since entering the era of industrial automation, industrial computers are like the engine of automation and intelligence in the whole industry. More and more key tasks in key industries rely more and more on IPC, which also drives the rapid development of the industrial control chassis industry. In the entire composition of the computer, the industrial control chassis is undoubtedly the most important. The key performance of the industrial computer, such as reliability, stability, expansion capability, etc., depends on the quality of the chassis.

Now, there are many manufacturers of industrial chassis at home and abroad, especially in the sub-field of industrial control chassis. Although the chassis may seem to be similar, but many can be castrated in terms of workmanship, materials, and design.

Onechassis Technology, as a manufacturer specializing in storage servers, industrial control chassis, and server chassis, has won a consistent good reputation in the market in recent years in terms of expansion design, quality and cost-effectiveness. Next, we will start with the actual unboxing display and disassembly experience, and let’s take a look at the sincere work of the onechassis 4U industrial control chassis – what are the real materials of the OneChassis OCIPC610P-T?

Unpacking, packing method

Before unpacking, the packaging of the OneChassis OCIPC610P-T is really solid. Although the weight is not small, the whole packaging is rigorous, no matter how we carry it, there is no gap or abnormal noise.

 

After opening the box, the packaging inside is really nice. Open the outer box, there is actually a layer of inner box inside. Inside the inner box is the chassis body, and above it is the protect cover that is easy to carry . Four EPE in the inner box. The chassis is firmly fixed in the box, which is very sturdy and reliable.

In addition to the chassis body, there is only one accessory box. In addition to the panel lock key, the accessory box also provides a full set of adapter screws and expansion baffles. The overall reserve is very rich, and there is no need to worry about insufficient fixing materials during installation.

Although the packaging is only the manufacturer’s control over the details, it has to be said that OneChassis has the style of a big manufacturer and its own uncompromising pursuit of quality.

Taking out the OneChassis OCIPC610P-T chassis body, I have to say that although it is bare metal, the chassis is still quite heavy, with a net weight of 11.5 kg. The total weight of accessories added later is estimated to be within 20kg. The overall weight of the chassis is well controlled and will not bring unnecessary trouble to consumers.

 

Industrial Control Chassis Size

 

In terms of size, OneChassis OCIPC610P-T is a standard 19″ rack-mounted industrial control case. The official data is 450mm deep x 427mm wide x 177mm high. The measured height is a standard 4U size of 177mm. The depth and width also meet the reasonable size range provided. , the size of the chassis has not shrunk in the slightest.

The actual measurement is close to the 177mm standard 4U specification

 

Configuration information table

Before we start dismantling, let’s take another look at the configuration information table.

 

Measured material thickness

Let’s start by looking at the materials used. Generally, the internal and external materials of high-quality chassis are expensive galvanized steel sheets, which have high strength and good corrosion resistance. In order to save costs, the inferior chassis uses cheap steel plates of unknown origin, which are directly sprayed and installed. Its oxidation resistance, electrical and thermal conductivity, and corrosion resistance are very poor, and it is easy to rust when the air is humid. Under the same process, the material cost of the two chassis differs by more than 40%

Measured thickness of chassis sprayed steel plate

 

OneChassis OCIPC610P-T uses 1.2mm high-quality SGCC galvanized steel sheet, which is also the basis for the weight we mentioned above. The internal structure of some inferior chassis is only about 0.8mm or even 0.6mm. The feel of the whole box, whether it is the structural stability or durability of the steel plate, is the industry benchmark.

Of course, we also use vernier calipers to actually measure the actual thickness of the chassis. The OneChassis OCIPC610P-T has an actual average thickness of over 1.2mm on tested and painted motherboard components. In order to eliminate the defects of whether this product is covered with thick spray material, In particular, the unpainted fixing plate, optical drive position, rear window, and other parts have been measured, and the actual thickness is also more than 1.2mm. We can be sure that the OneChassis OCIPC610P-T won’t cut corners.
