01 · Enclosure types

Sheet metal enclosure categories.

Different application domains require different construction approaches. Here are the main categories we build daily.

Electrical control cabinets

Steel · IP54-66

DIN rail mounting, PLC panels, motor control centers. Door + body + gland plate + mounting plate. Standard RAL 7035 light grey powder coat

Electronic enclosures

Al · IP20-65

Smaller aluminum enclosures for electronics, IoT devices, power supplies. Rack-mount or desktop form factors

Outdoor enclosures

Steel · IP65-68

Sealed outdoor hardware — EV charging, solar inverters, telecom, traffic control. UV-resistant finishes, sealed cable glands

Server & rack chassis

Steel · 19" rack

1U/2U/3U/4U rack-mount chassis. Card guides, ventilation, cable management. EIA-310 standard rack dimensions

Test equipment housings

Al · cosmetic

Benchtop instrument enclosures with front panel cutouts for displays, BNC, power switches. Cosmetic powder coat or anodize

Industrial machinery covers

Steel · heavy duty

Machine guards, safety covers, access panels. Thick gauge steel with robust construction

02 · Capabilities

What we build in sheet metal.

Laser cutting

Fiber laser up to 4 kW — precise cuts in aluminum, steel, stainless up to 10 mm thick

Press brake bending

Amada CNC press brakes — precise bends ±0.1° on angles, tight inside-bend radii

TIG / MIG welding

Certified welders for aluminum, steel, stainless weldments — structural and cosmetic

PEM hardware insertion

Threaded inserts (M3, M4, M5, M6, M8), standoffs, captive studs — press-installed

Powder coating

Any RAL color, textured or smooth finishes — integrated workflow

Silk screening

Logos, warning labels, indicators printed on finished enclosure surfaces

Laser marking

Permanent serial numbers, QR codes, part identification

Cable gland integration

Watertight cable gland installation for IP-rated enclosures

EMI gasketing

Conductive gaskets, finger stock for EMI-shielded enclosures

FAQ

Sheet Metal questions.

Unsealed enclosures: IP20 (dust only). With sealed fasteners + gasketing: IP54 (splash), IP65 (dust-tight + water spray), IP66 (high-pressure water), IP67 (temporary immersion), IP68 (continuous immersion). IP65 is straightforward; IP67 requires design attention to compression-gasket groove geometry; IP68 requires proper engineering and testing. We DFM-review for seal integrity before production.

Yes — complete assembly with PEM press-in inserts, self-clinching nuts, weld nuts, threaded studs, standoffs, cable glands, DIN rails, card guides. We install customer-supplied or we-supplied hardware depending on specification. Common PEM sizes stocked: M2.5, M3, M4, M5, M6, M8 in brass and stainless. Specialty hardware ordered as needed.

Laser cutter bed: 3000 × 1500 mm max sheet size. Press brake capacity: 3000 mm bend length, 200 ton pressing force. Welding up to any size weldable assemblies. Typical enclosure range: 100 × 100 × 100 mm to 1500 × 800 × 2000 mm. Larger custom sizes by sectional fabrication.

Steel: 0.5 mm to 10 mm thick — galvanized steel (GI), cold-rolled steel (CRS), hot-rolled pickled and oiled (HRPO). Stainless: 0.5 mm to 10 mm — 304 (most common), 316/316L (marine/chemical), 430 (decorative). Aluminum: 0.5 mm to 6 mm — 5052 (best formability), 3003 (general), 1100 (pure, easiest to form), 6061-T6 (stronger but difficult to bend).

Powder coat in 2,000+ RAL colors and textures (standard). Wet paint in Pantone-matched colors (cosmetic). Anodize (aluminum only — Type II decorative or Type III hardcoat). Zinc plating (steel — corrosion protection + paint primer). Chromate conversion (aluminum — paint primer). Passivation (stainless — corrosion enhancement). Brushed #4 finish (stainless — architectural).

Standard complexity: 5–10 business days from PO to ship. Complex with multiple weldments: 10–14 days. With custom powder coat colors: +2–3 days for color matching. With silk screen logos: +2–3 days for screen preparation. Rush service (1.5× cost): cuts lead time to ~60%. Typical customer expectation: 2 weeks door-to-door for standard sheet metal enclosure including DHL shipping.
