I do a little controls work on the side outside of work just to help with tuition and such and I have a customer I have done quite a bit of buisness with that gave me a strange request.
He has a control system that what looks like a Hoffman or Saginaw 2 door Enclosure and it has a 17 inch Versaview PC on a pendant arm running FT View SE Distributed and he also has a 3rd party piece of software that controls a mixer.
He wants to print reports from this mixer software which will be no issue but he wants to put some kind of sliding drawer that will come out of the face of the enclosure door while the door remains shut to house the printer.
I have never seen anyting like that and don't even know if it exists or if there is anything else that could be used that way?
I have seen the keyboard boxes and such but those are geared toward the 19 rack panels and this is a standard enclosure with no 19 inch rack. I told him I am doubtful that I could find a solution like that but promised I would try.
Anyone here ever seen a setup like that or have any idea of what may work and still look good? Also there are no voltages in this panel over 120 VAC.
