surveying-instrument-case manufacturing 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 surveying-instrument-case manufacturing 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 surveying-instrument-case manufacturing 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 |
| WL3812 | 380×320×120 mm | 365×280×110 mm | 1100 g | PP+AS | Theodolite / Level |
The most common model for "surveying-instrument-case manufacturing process" buyers is the WL2305 (230×180×45 mm OD, 240 g empty weight, PP body).
Cheap protective cases use 15 kg/m³ foam that bottoms out after 6 months. Our surveying-instrument-case manufacturing process uses 25 kg/m³ foam rated for 5+ year use. The difference is in the cell structure: 25 kg/m³ cells rebound after compression, 15 kg/m³ cells do not. We have tested both. The cheaper foam fails.
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.
Common equipment we have designed surveying-instrument-case manufacturing process foam layouts for, based on real customer projects since 2014: DSLR + 2-3 lenses, mirrorless kits, cinema cameras with matte box + monitor, drones (DJI Mavic/Phantom/Inspire) with 5 batteries, broadcast lighting kits, military optics, medical devices.
Cheap surveying-instrument-case manufacturing process: $3-8/unit, 6-month lifespan, 200-cycle latch, 15 kg/m³ foam. Our surveying-instrument-case manufacturing process: $5-15/unit, 10-year lifespan, 5,000-cycle latch, 25 kg/m³ foam. Over 5 years, our case is 4-5x cheaper per year of use. Total cost of ownership wins.
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.

Yes. Free samples for standard WL series (you pay shipping, $30-80 via DHL). 5-day sample lead time. Custom samples: $200-500 fee (refundable on order >2,000 units), 7-15 day lead time.
No, you can supply your own foam. We can ship the case without foam (15% cost reduction) or with custom foam (your spec). Our standard foam is 25mm base + 10mm convoluted lid, CNC-cut to 0.5mm tolerance.
PP case body: 10+ year typical service life with normal use. Foam set: 5+ years before showing compression set. Latch: 5,000-10,000 open/close cycles. Hinge: 10,000 cycles. Replace foam when it no longer rebounds; replace case when latch or hinge fails.
We can re-cut foam for the same case. Cost: $20-50 per foam set depending on size. Lead time: 5-7 days. We keep your foam layout in our database for 3 years for easy re-order. If equipment changes significantly, you may need a different WL series.
