Aluminium:

Standard sizes: 1.5mm (E-Case A, B & C) and 2mm (E-Case D) thickness.

Thinner end plates, down to 0.9mm
Thicker: end plates, up to 12mm

Zintec: - Can be manufactured from 0.7mm up to 3mm

Acrylic: - Can be manufactured from 3mm to 12mm

The end plates can also be folded 90 degrees to act as a foot or for surface mounting

Plates up to a thickness of 5mm can be cut and folded

Oversize Options:

Standard end plates are the same width and height as the extrusion but we can manufacture the plate oversize

  • This could be so that the front plate is used as a fixing option in a control panel
  • The panel can be taller with a cut out to act as a handle
  • To sit below the extrusion to act as a foot or shaped to form feet
