instrument-case ODM process from KeXinMaterials source factory. OEM/ODM, wholesale, factory-direct pricing. 9 WL series sizes WL1204-WL5020, IP67/MIL-STD-810H certified, MOQ 30, 12h quote, 30-day delivery to 47 countries.
If you have been burned by a instrument-case ODM process supplier before — wrong dimensions, fake IP rating, lead time that doubled mid-order — this page is for you. It is the buyer's guide we wish someone had given us in 2014.
For your reference, here are the WL series models we typically use for instrument-case ODM process applications. Outer dimensions (OD) are measured to the outside of the case; inner dimensions (ID) reflect the usable cavity after subtracting wall thickness. All in millimeters; imperial dimensions in our catalog PDF.
| Model | Outer (mm) | Inner (mm) | Weight (g) | Material | Size Class |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| WL2305 | 230×180×45 mm | 225×150×40 mm | 240 g | PP | Multimeter / Caliper |
| WL2808 | 275×230×82 mm | 265×190×76 mm | 480 g | PP+AS | Surveying Total Station |
| WL6030 | 600×450×300 mm | 575×420×280 mm | 4200 g | PP+AS | Lab / Test Kit |
The most common model for "instrument-case ODM process" buyers is the WL2305 (230×180×45 mm OD, 240 g empty weight, PP body).
instrument-case ODM process shells are rated -40°C to +80°C per MIL-STD-810H Method 501.7 (high) and 502.7 (low). Chemically resistant to petroleum, mineral oil, dilute acids, alcohols, and most industrial solvents. Not resistant to concentrated sulfuric acid, aromatic, or chlorinated solvents.
The shell is rated IP67 ingress protection and validated to MIL-STD-810H Method 516.8 (26 drops at 1.2m). Temperature range is -40 ~ +80 °C. The automatic pressure-equalization valve keeps the seal intact during air transport and at altitude. Latch is a double-throw design rated for 5,000 open/close cycles. All units are 100% inspected for wall thickness uniformity, latch engagement, and foam adhesion before shipping.
Here are 3 real instrument-case ODM process foam layouts from 2024-2026: (A) Sony A7 IV + 24-70mm + 70-200mm + 3 filters + 2 batteries — fits WL2808. (B) DJI Mavic 3 + RC + 4 batteries + charger — fits WL2005. (C) RED Komodo + 2 lenses + monitor + cables — fits WL5020. We share these at the 12h quote stage.
When evaluating instrument-case ODM process options, focus on three metrics: (1) Foam density — cheap cases use 15 kg/m³ foam that bottoms out; ours is 25 kg/m³, 5+ year use. (2) Latch cycle rating — cheap plastic latches break after 200 cycles; ours is metal-reinforced, 5,000 cycles. (3) IP certification — every batch ships with serialized IP test certificates.
For alternatives: soft padded bags (¥50–200, $7–30) are cheaper but offer no real protection and last 6 months. Aluminum hard cases ($80–300) are heavier, prone to denting, and 2–4× the price. Carbon fiber cases ($300+) are overkill for 95% of B2B use cases. Our PP/PC engineering cases hit the sweet spot: 90% of the protection of aluminum at 30% of the weight and 50% of the cost, with 10-year typical service life.
Ordering instrument-case ODM process is 5 steps: inquiry (12h response), quote (with recommendation), PO + 30% deposit, production (30 days + QC photos), balance payment + shipment. Repeat orders are 15-20 days. Custom OEM/ODM adds 25-30 days for mold.
We have 150+ custom design cases since 2014. Whatever your question is, we have probably seen it before.

We use injection molding exclusively — denser walls, tighter tolerances, better IP rating. Blow molding produces hollow cases with thinner walls (1-2mm), cheaper, but not suitable for IP67 or MIL-STD-810H drop test. If a supplier offers 'injection' at 1/3 our price, it is likely blow-molded.
Yes for DDP and CIF. For FOB or EXW, we ship to a commercial port or address with customs broker. Residential delivery in some regions (EU, USA) requires a local broker to handle customs clearance.
instrument-case ODM process refers to a protective case designed for specific equipment, use case, and buyer profile. In B2B sourcing, it means a factory-direct product with documented specs, certifications, and lead time. KeXinMaterials has supplied instrument-case ODM process to 47 countries since 2014.
Step 1: Define your equipment's outer dimensions (L×W×H in mm). Step 2: Add 5-10mm clearance for foam thickness. Step 3: Match to WL series: WL1204 → WL2005 → WL2808 → WL3812 → WL5020. Step 4: Confirm IP rating (IP65 indoor, IP67/IP68 outdoor/water). Step 5: Send spec for 12h quote.
Top 5 mistakes: (1) Choosing by price alone, ignoring that cheap cases skip IP certification. (2) Over-specifying size — buying WL5020 when WL3812 fits. (3) Ignoring latch type — 200-cycle vs 5,000-cycle. (4) Forgetting pressure valve for air travel. (5) Not requesting lot certificates.
