Material Options

All of our standard end plates are Aluminium, however we can supply end plates in Zintec if you require a thinner plate or from acrylic if you need Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connectivity

Material Options - Thickness:

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

Cut-outs:

Depending on the thickness of the end plate – see below, we will either CNC Punch, Mill or Laser cut the panel. Holes can be straight through, counter-bored or counter-sunk.

Please note we will require the following:

  • A full list of the components being used.
  • Dimensioned drawing. Preferred formats are STEP, IGES, DXF or SolidWorks files but we will work from a hand drawn sketch

Flanged Plates:

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

Sub-Panels:

On end plates thicker than 3mm we can cut through and recess a hole complete with clinch fasteners – see below, to fit a sub-panel.

Please note we will require the following:

  • A full list of the components being used.
  • Dimensioned drawing. Preferred formats are STEP, IGES, DXF or SolidWorks files but we will work from a hand drawn sketch
