Bespoke aluminium enclosures for electronics

Metcase has broadened its portfolio with fully bespoke aluminium electronics cases, which can be created using the company's standard case components such as diecastings and extrusion profiles or from fully fabricated sheet metal components.

As well as complete enclosures, Metcase can manufacture complex bespoke mounting plates, chassis and front panel assemblies. Enclosures can be supplied fully finished ready for the installation of components.

3D modelling is now available on all standard Metcase aluminium cases, instrument housings and 19 inch rack mount enclosures. Customers can request 3D drawings as STEP, SAT or X_T files so they can specify customised front panels and internal components quickly and more easily.

Customisation options include CNC milling, drilling, punching and folding; internal mounting plates and brackets.

Metcase’s new digital printer can print photo quality graphics, legends and logos on front panels or complete enclosures. Different surface textures are no problem and, unlike traditional printing methods, there are no expensive set-up costs.

Other services include customised aluminium front panels for mounting controls, displays, plugs and switches; powder finishing, wet painting and anodising.
