METCASE has developed a new ‘Custom Enclosures Service’ based on its extensive range of metal enclosures. Many different types of enclosures can be manufactured to order including desktop, portable, wall-mount, and 19-in. rack mount cases.
The new service is designed to help design engineers develop their own unique housing that exactly matches their requirements.
By using standard extrusion profiles and die castings, and manufacturing special fabricated sheet metal parts, METCASE can achieve a unique solution for the customer at very competitive prices.
Small batch sizes are another important benefit of this service. The typical minimum order quantity is just 10 enclosures. This can be very useful for high-value, low-volume electronics equipment, or evaluation batches during new product development.
Working with METCASE, design engineers can specify all the mounting parameters for their electronic components, assemblies, and PCBs. METCASE will then manufacture the enclosures to the exact external dimensions required, and CNC punch or drill all the external panels with holes and cut outs to suit the connectors, PCBs, switches, displays, etc.
The company can also supply special internal chassis and mounting plates for the PCB assemblies, power supplies, keyboard units, etc. These special parts can be manufactured in steel or aluminum material.
METCASE offers a range of standard finishes including powder polyester and wet paints, natural or colored anodizing, and special conductive coatings such as “Interlox 338.” The enclosures can be painted in standard RAL colors or nonstandard colors matched to a sample.
Front panels can be machined with all the necessary cutouts for the displays and controls. They can also be anodized or painted, and silk screen printed or engraved with the control legends and company logos.
