Customisation option for the Pi-Box Pro and 19" rack mount versions.

Customise options include
Anodising the enclosures or end plates different colours
Adding text or logos
but the customisation options come into their own when you want to add a HAT.

These can be purchased as off the shelf standard products in our online shop.

For information go to the Raspberry Pi Trading Approved Design Partnership

Outlined below are the customisation options available for the Raspberry Pi 3 & 4 based on our current range of enclosures:

The E-Case is a rugged industrial aluminium enclosure with a range of mounting options for surface, VESA and DIn Rail.

The Combi Case is still rugged aluminium enclosure but with a slick design that would not look out of place sat on a desk top.

The 19" rack based options are removable versions of the E-Case that can sit up to 3 units wide in a 1U rack panel. Panels can be made up to 12U deep.

Alternatively, if you require a unique enclosure design then we can design either a bent metal enclosure or a custom extrusion.

Enclosures can also be manufactured to suit the Zero, Pico or the Compute Module

Custom Options

Cut to length:

Available in cut lengths from 40mm to 1500mm for UK shipments and 1000mm for standard worldwide shipping. Longer lengths can be shipped but will need to be discussed further.

Cut tolerance: -0mm / +0.5mm

CNC Milling:

Holes for connectors or light pipes and large cut-out for LCD screens can be milled into the extrusion as well as a recess for labels or a membrane.

Please note we will require the following information:

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

Surface Finish:

Anodised Colour Options: Clear (SIlver), Black, Blue, Red, Green. Please call to discuss other options.

Anti-corrosion coatings: Surtec 650 or Iridite NCP

Powder Coating: Fine texture; Black, Red and Grey. Please call to discuss other options. For other colours a RAL number is required

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.
A list of all fonts used.

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:

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:

19" Rack Mount Options:

The front panel can be manufactured so that the enclosure can be mounted into a 19″ rack

Standard sizes: 1U, 2U and 3U

Depending on which E-Case is used, up to 3 units can be mounted side by side

Larger sizes available upon request

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.

Surface Finish Options - Brushed:

All end plates 3mm or thicker are made from raw aluminium and will, therefore, go through a brushing (graining) process prior to the surface finish is applied.
