Elegant instrument enclosures now offer more handle options

METCASE's premium TECHNOMET desktop instrument enclosures can now be specified without a handle, with recessed side handles, or with a tilt/swivel carry handle bar.

The selection of handle options makes these elegant aluminium enclosures easily portable. Applications include medical/wellness, test and measurement equipment, industrial control, peripheral devices and interfaces, switch boxes, communications, and laboratory equipment.

The enclosure has a modern, cohesive design with diecast flush-fit bezels at the front and rear. Snap-on trims hide the fixing screws. The range is offered in 11 standard sizes from 225mm x 200mm x 75mm to 350mm x 320mm x 150mm, including three versions with a sloping front bezel.

For 2025, all sizes will now be offered with the no-handle option. Three larger sizes are available pre-fitted with recessed side handles for easier portability. All sizes – except the sloping-front versions – can also be specified with an adjustable tilt/swivel carry handlebar. It enables the enclosure range to be positioned at the ideal angle for viewing and operation.

The enclosure's internal chassis is pre-punched to accommodate snap-in PCB guides (accessories) in up to nine positions. The base panel is pre-fitted with four M3 PCB mounting pillars. The removable rear panel and anodised front panel (accessory) are recessed for added protection. All panels have M4 pillars for earthing. Each enclosure is provided with four non-slip ABS feet.

The enclosure is offered in three colour schemes as standard (depending upon the version selected): anthracite (RAL 7016), light grey (RAL 7035), or a combination of traffic white (RAL 9016) and traffic grey A (RAL 7042). Custom colours can also be selected.

The company can supply TECHNOMET fully customised. Services include custom sizes, custom front panels, CNC machining, fixings and inserts, painting and finishing, and photo-quality digital printing of legends, logos and graphics.
