Sensitive measurement technology between laboratory and mobile use
Gamma analysis measuring devices are used in safety-critical and precision-dependent applications. They must deliver reliable measurement results – regardless of whether they are used stationary in the laboratory or mobile on site.
The safe transport of these sensitive measuring devices is a decisive factor for their functionality and longevity.
Initial situation: Mobile measuring device for gamma activity
A customer from the field of measurement technology has developed a device that can be used to detect gamma activity in food, liquids, and smaller bulk materials.
The user can employ the measurement system in various scenarios:
- Stationary in laboratory environments,
- Mobile for on-site inspections and checks
- All under changing environmental conditions
The user must be able to transport the device regularly and use it at short notice without compromising on protection or measurement accuracy.
Challenge: Sensitive technology meets heavy weight
The particular challenge lies in the combination of high sensitivity and considerable weight of the device.
Some components are particularly heavy due to integrated lead shielding, while at the same time the sensors and measurement technology are sensitive to shocks and vibrations.
Standard cases quickly reach their limits here:
- Inadequate fixation due to high dead weight
- Selective stress on sensitive components
- Movement of the device in the case during transport
- Limited suitability for everyday use in mobile applications
It was clear to the user: A universal solution does not offer the necessary protection for daily use.
Why customized transport solutions are necessary
Measuring devices are used in a variety of applications, often under demanding conditions.
Especially with sensitive or heavy equipment, it is not enough to “just” pack the device.
The key questions are:
- How is the weight distributed in the case?
- Which components require special protection?
- How can the device remain quickly and safely ready for use?
Only a customized case solution can answer these questions in a practical way.
We are your reliable partner
As a manufacturer of special cases, we know what is important when transporting heavy measuring equipment. Our cases are not standard solutions, but are individually customized to solve real challenges in everyday life.
The bwh solution: Custom-fit case for transporting heavy measuring equipment
Based on the geometry of the equipment and the application requirements, a sturdy special case with a custom-made foam insert was developed.
The solution follows a clear decision-making logic:
- Robust case body designed for high total weight
- Precisely fitting foam insert for form-fitting accommodation of the device
- Targeted support for heavy components to relieve sensitive areas
- Secure hold during transport, storage, and position changes
- Practical handling for mobile use
The goal was a transport solution that offers protection without complicating the workflow.
Result: Safe transport and maximum flexibility of use
The specially developed case allows the measuring device to be reliably transported between different locations.
The user benefits specifically from:
- High level of protection for sensitive measurement technology
- Safe transport despite heavy components
- Reduced risk of failure and damage
- Longer service life of the device
- Flexible use, both stationary and mobile
The customized case solution thus becomes a functional part of the entire measurement system.
Conclusion: When measurement technology remains mobile, protection must be considered
Transportation is not a minor issue, especially for heavy and sensitive measuring devices. Customized special cases ensure that technology can be used where it is needed: safe, protected, and ready for use.
