Enclosure design
This is the first link in the whole chain of manufacturing of enclosures for electronics, metal enclosures or non-standard equipment. At this stage 3D model and drawings (design documentation) of the future metal enclosure are developed. Its overall dimensions, design features with regard to functionality, manufacturability, appearance and preliminary cost price are determined.
Laser cutting of sheet metal
Nowadays, material processing technologies have gone a long way forward. And no one can be surprised by laser cutting of sheet metal, waterjet cutting or cutting with a coordinate-punching press.
Bending of sheet metal blanks on CNC bending presses
CNC bending presses are used for bending of sheet metal reamers.
High precision of bending up to 0.3 mm allows in some cases to do without subsequent welding and stripping.
Thanks to the unique original tooling, bending alone can increase stiffness without increasing the thickness of the body metal.
Installation of fasteners and welding
In any REA enclosure there are places for mounting boards, speaker seats, cable glands, control panels, etc., which can be used for fastening. Using pressed or welded threaded elements, boards and speakers, faceplates and cooling radiators, as well as other radio elements and electronic components are mounted in the enclosure.
Anticorrosive and decorative surface coatings
To protect the surfaces of metal enclosures from corrosion, paint or galvanic coating is used. Today, among the methods of paint coating, powder coating technology is widely used.
Applying a logo and informational inscriptions, making nameplates
Every self-respecting manufacturer wants his product to be recognized and not confused with competitors’ analogues. For this purpose was invented “logo”. Applying a logo is the final stage of manufacturing of any product, including REA enclosures. Logo and other information about the product are applied by UV-printing or silk-screening. Depending on the dimensions of the enclosure.
