Quantum Controls Introduces Ready-to-Run Enclosures For National Instruments Applications

    DETROIT, Aug. 24 -- Plymouth, Michigan-based Quantum
Controls, Inc. (QCI) is introducing a new line of control panels (Ready-to-Run
Enclosures) that enhance the renowned industrial automation, test and
measurement products developed by National Instruments (NI).  Three model
lines are available:  standard off-the-shelf models, a semi-custom modular
design, and completely customized control cabinets that integrate NI hardware.
    Ready to Run Enclosures are available in three standard designs and
contain hardware necessary to run NI applications such as LabVIEW(R).  These
basic designs can be easily modified to satisfy virtually any manufacturing
need.  The customizing process begins with selecting features from a menu of
modular elements such as PXI or desktop computer, specific SCXI modules, and
terminals or National Instruments' terminal blocks (TBX).  Any remaining needs
are addressed by QCI engineers who tailor each unit for specific manufacturing
applications.  All units are available with UL and/or CSA markings.
    National Instruments , a leading supplier of computer-based
measurement and automation products, was founded in 1976.  The company
manufactures hundreds of software and hardware products, which, when combined
with industry-standard computers, are used to replace and/or communicate with
traditional instrumentation to acquire, analyze, and display data and to
monitor and control processes.  These computer-based instrumentation systems
are used for test, measurement, and industrial automation applications.
    Quantum Controls, Inc. is an industrial automation and control systems
integrator specializing in quality improvement, environmental emissions,
process control, machine control, material handling, and test & measurement
systems.  QCI is a tier one supplier to the big three automotive
