Smart new colours for premium instrument enclosures

METCASE’s premium TECHNOMET instrument enclosures are now offered in an additional new standard colour scheme.

These elegant desktop and portable enclosures are excellent for medical and wellness electronics, test and measurement, industrial control, peripheral devices and interfaces, switchboxes, communications and laboratory equipment.

The new colour choice is traffic white (RAL 9016) for the main case with traffic grey A (RAL 7042) bezels. It complements the current standard options of either light grey (RAL 7035) or anthracite (RAL 7016). Custom colours are also available.

These aluminium enclosures offer a modern, cohesive design. Diecast front and rear bezels fit flush with the main case body. Snap-on trims hide the fixing screws. The enclosures can be specified with or without a tilt/swivel carry handle that doubles as a desk stand. Larger sizes (150mm) also provide the option of ABS side handles for easy portability. Three sizes can be specified with a sloping front.

All enclosures have standard ventilation slots in the base and a removable rear panel. This panel is recessed to protect switches and connectors. The anodised front panel (accessory) is also recessed for displays and keypads.

Inside, the base panel is fitted with four M3 PCB mounting pillars, and the chassis is pre-punched to fit snap-in PCB guides (accessories) in three, five, seven or nine positions. All the case panels have M4 threaded pillars for earth connections. The enclosures are provided with four modern ABS feet with non-slip pads.

The enclosure is available in 11 standard sizes from 225mm x 200mm x 75mm to 350mm x 320mm x 150mm. Accessories include front panels, PCB guides and PCB/panel fixing screws (M3).

The company can supply the enclosures fully customised. Services include custom sizes, custom front panels, CNC machining, fixings and inserts, painting and finishing, and photo-quality digital printing.
