Bud Industries has launched an adapter bracket that enables users to convert a standard electronic enclosure into a corner-mount enclosure. This approach provides users with more size options compared to competitors who present a limited number of corner-shaped enclosures.
Typically, companies standardise on one style of enclosure. Before the introduction of its unique Corner Wall-Mount-Box Adapter Bracket, a company would need to order a different enclosure when they ran into a corner mount application, adding time, paperwork, and cost.
Unlike competitor designs, if a corner location is no longer required, the adapter bar can be removed, and the enclosure can be installed on a wall. Moreover, its affordable cost means users can retain spare adapter brackets on hand for quick installation when required.
“Bud has seen a lot of requests for this type of product from its security and lighting customers who need to mount enclosures in corners,“ said Josiah Haas, Bud Industries president. “While competitors have introduced a few moulded boxes with a corner shape, the functionality is limited to just those series. Instead, Bud developed an innovative bracket that will work with a large variety of enclosures.”
This adapter bar fits hundreds of different size its enclosures so that design engineers can choose an ideal enclosure for their application. The new adapter bracket will also fit competitor box-style enclosures having wall mounting holes.
The key to the bracket’s versatility is an adjustable design that accepts enclosures ranging in width from 3" to 14". A bracket shaped to fit a corner, screws into the walls, and a sliding rail adjusts to the necessary depth. Mounting strips attach to the enclosure through screws that enter existing mounting holes on the back of the enclosure. The strips include a scored tab design that makes it simple to customise the length by breaking off tabs; no tools are needed.
The adapter bracket offers 14-gauge steel construction for strength and secure mounting. Applications include wi-fi, security, lighting, and factory automation.
