SPECIFY CUSTOMISED ENCLOSURES – ENHANCE QUALITY AND SPEED UP PRODUCTION

Just a few months ago in October 2022 we published a blog post highlighting how easy and cost-effective it is to specify fully customised aluminium enclosures for your electronics. New technology has made customisation quicker and more cost-effective – so it’s viable even for small batches.

Our customised enclosures arrive at the customers’ factories fully finished:

  • machined ready for displays, connectors, LEDs and controls
  • branded with bespoke colours, logos and legends
  • immediately ready for installation of components – the enclosures can go straight to your production line.

That blog post focused on scientific instrumentation – showing fully finished enclosures for:

  • spectroscopic analytical instruments and fibre-optic Raman probes
  • ultra-low phase noise testing devices
  • a gas mixing device for material science and button fuel cell research.

But any METCASE enclosure can be supplied fully customised – not just instrument enclosures. That includes 19” rack cases, 19” rack mount enclosures (desktop mini-racks), sloping-front enclosures and wall mount enclosures.

WHY CUSTOMISATION IS SO EASY AND COST-EFFECTIVE NOW

New technology has been the main driver in making customisation more available for lower volumes. Faster CNC machining and superior digital printing reduce set-up times and speed up the various processes. You can also create efficiencies with these handy hacks:

  • Custom colours cost no more than standard shades if you choose one from our ‘always in stock’ list. Visit this page for more details, scroll down and see the tab marked Browse Full List. You’ll see 41 different colours, treatments and finishes (including eight new shades).
  • Quite often, less is more: you don’t have to paint the entire case body in a custom colour. You can get some great looks simply by specifying a bespoke colour for just one part of the enclosure, such as the bezel(s). These subtle but striking highlights may be all that is needed to catch the eye.
  • Digital printing delivers stunning photo-quality graphics in very low volumes. Why stop at legends and a logo when a well-placed graphic will transform the look of a custom front plate or main case body? It can give your product added flair for very little cost.
