Instrument enclosures offer flat or sloping front panels

Metcase’s premium Technomet desktop/portable instrument enclosures can now be selected with or without a sloping front for easier viewing.

The stylish enclosure is ideal for medical and wellness devices, industrial control, test and measurement, peripheral devices and interfaces, switch boxes, communications, and laboratory equipment.

These advanced aluminium enclosures provide a modern and cohesive design. Diecast aluminium bezels at the front and rear fit flush with the main case body. Snap-on trims hide the case and front panel fixing screws. The anodised front panel (accessory) and removable rear panel are recessed to protect keypads, displays, connectors and switches.

The internal chassis is pre-punched for three, five, seven or nine PCB guide rails: circuit boards slide in and out for quick and straightforward installation, inspection and maintenance. There are also four M3 PCB mounting pillars in the base. All case panels are provided with M4 threaded pillars for earth connections.

The enclosure is available in 11 sizes, from 225mm x 200mm x 75mm to 350mm x 320mm x 150mm. Eight sizes can be specified with a tilt/swivel carry handle as standard, allowing users to choose the perfect viewing angle. Many other sizes provide ABS side handles as standard for easy portability. All the enclosures are provided with four modern ABS feet with non-slip pads.

The enclosures are supplied in two standard colours: light grey (RAL 7035) and anthracite (RAL 7016). Custom colours are also available on request. Accessories include front panels, PCB guides and M3 PCB/panel fixing screws.

The company can supply the enclosure fully customised. Services include custom sizes (height, width and depth), custom front panels, CNC machining, fixings and inserts, painting/finishing, and photo-quality digital printing of graphics, legends and logos.
