PPL assisted the customer, and eliminated several
aluminum parts by integrating
the design features into the main housing and battery
storage parts.
-
The customer realized significant savings with the
plastic injection molded design concept compared
to a metal component design.
-
The customer's initial design specified a metal housing.
PPL recommended a polyetherimide (Ultem)

requirements for a rugged, strong, durable, metal
like material. The material also had to be paintable
to provide the customer with high consumer appearance
finish.
