Spotlight On: Instrumentation Industry
News
Instrumentation is a term which refers to devices used for indicating, measuring and recording. This industry handles a large range of variables, including temperature, pressure, distance and flow, and services other sectors, such as oil & gas, mining, marine and electronics.
So, the instrumentation industry is incredibly important because a lot of processes rely on it for accurate measurements – this means that any products created for this market, such as our control panel overlays, have to be highly accurate and of the highest quality.
Good instruments lead to better production rates, lower costs, higher quality and improved safety – take a look at how GSM Graphic Arts helps achieve this.
Fascia Panels
The instrumentation market requires the most accurate products, and our fascia panels certainly meet that brief. Our under-surface printed fascias are manufactured using different thicknesses of clear plastic, which are then reserve printed to create a barrier to the ink – the result is that any indicators or markers on the measuring equipment are protected from wear and tear.
Our fascias are robust and designed to stand the test of time, and we’re able to provide you with a range of materials and manufacturing methods, which includes:
- Under-surface printed plastic panels
- Fully anodised aluminium panels
- Etched and filled stainless steel panels
When you choose GSM Graphic Arts, you’ll always get what you need. We have the experience to meet your requirements and the high standards of your industry.
Graphic Overlays
Graphic overlays are perfect for the instrumentation industry due to how sturdy, reliable and long-lasting they are. Because they are usually the face of a product, they also need to be aesthetically pleasing, so we make sure to manufacture overlays that are functional, quality and have high visual impact.
From embossing and transparent LED windows to selective lacquers and cut-outs for switches, we can design and produce the graphic overlay you’re looking for to your exact specifications. And we use several materials, such as UV-resistant polycarbonate, durable polyester and hard-coated polycarbonate.
If you work in the instrumentation industry, you’ll also be pleased to know that we offer several surface finishes as well, meaning the product will always be suitable for its environment.
Weatherproof Outdoor Labels
With our weather-resistant outdoor labels, we can help a large section of the instrumentation industry, as many products are installed outdoors. Because they need to withstand weather conditions for prolonged periods of time, it’s crucial that these labels remain readable and on-brand for as long as the product is expected to last.
We can manufacture anodised aluminium and plastic tags for surfaces like sheds and fencing, as well as farm machinery, for example. You can also request domed labels from us, which are suitable for the outdoors because of their UV protection and overall robust nature.
Control Panels
Other popular products in the instrumentation industry include control panels. This is because the panels can be found in a wide range of environments and applications, such as scientific instruments and equipment used in the music sector.
What’s more, you can choose from a vast array of materials, since we are capable of producing aluminium panels (which can be screen or digitally printed). These include powder-coated metal panels, stainless steel panels and acrylic control panels, just to mention a few.
We also understand that visual appeal is critical in many industries, which is why we provide attractive colours that will easily complement your product.
