The maximum length of extrusion that can be anodised is 1Mtr
Anti-corrosion coatings: Surtec 650 or Iridite NCP
Masking available upon request.
Artwork:
Artwork can be applied to the enclosure in one of 2 methods:
- Full-colour Digital Print
- Laser Marking
Please note we will require the following information:
- For best results, we will need you to provide us with logos and icons in a vector format.

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
Clinch Fasteners:
A range of bushes, nuts and stand-offs can be added either as a means to mount your PCB or additional components or a grounding point.
Please note we will require the following:
