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.
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
Extrusion
- Can be cut to length: 40mm to 1500mm
- Cut tolerance: -0mm / +0.5mm
- Surface finish: Anodised, Anti-corrosion or Powder Coated
- Milled cut-outs or recesses
- Laser marked or digital print
End Plates
- From 1.5mm up to 10mm thickness
- Over sized
- 19″ rack mount
- Aluminium, Zintec or Acrylic
- Various surface finishes and colour options
- Milled or punched cut-outs
- Laser marking or digital print
19" Rack Mount
- 1, 2 or 3 units per 1U
- Fixed or Removable
- Laser marked or digital print
Cut to length:
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:
- 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
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.
Please note we will require the following:
- A full list of the fastenings being used.
- Dimensioned drawing. Preferred formats are STEP, IGES, DXF or SolidWorks files but we will work from a hand drawn sketch
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.
Finish:
Andodised colour options: Silver, Black, Blue, Red, Green. Please call to discuss other options.
Anti-corrosion coatings: Surtec 650, Iridite NCP
Powder coating: Fine texture. Black, Red and Grey. Please call to discuss other options. For other colours, RAL numbers will be required
Masking available upon request.
Artwork:
Artwork can be applied to the end plates in one of 2 methods.
- Full-Colour Digital Print
- Laser Marking
Please note we will require the following:
- For best results, we will need you to provide us with logos and images in a vector format.
- A list of all fonts used
All Units can be fixed or removable.
Up to 3 units wide per 1U in height
Up to 12U overall
