Enclosure Types
Getting the best enclosure for your application starts with choosing the right enclosure type. In our experience, there are a number of popular options that our clients design.
- Box Enclosures for fully enclosed protection of internal components with access for installation, maintenance, and operation
- Covers for targeted protection of sensitive subassemblies where weight, cost, and easy serviceability are priorities
- Chassis-Style Enclosures for industrial applications requiring structural support alongside dedicated mounting for electronics, wireways, power supplies, and mechanical parts
- Rack-Style Housings designed to fit standardized equipment racks for straightforward integration into existing rack-mounted systems
- Panel Enclosures for single-plane mounting of switches, displays, controls, electronics, and plumbing hardware
- Bent Custom Forms for partial enclosures and unique geometries that don’t fit standard configurations
- Welded Custom Forms for assemblies requiring additional rigidity and the ability to mount larger or heavier components

Finishing and 2nd Operations Capabilities:
We recognize that machining isn’t all that goes into making high-quality custom sheet metal enclosures. As a result, we put together a number of finishing options under one roof so you can get exactly what you’re looking for.
- Powder coating is our most popular choice for sheet metal enclosures. This process involves adding a thin layer of protective finish that resists scratches, wear and tear, and corrosion. You can choose from a range of colors and textures to get the perfect finish.
- Anodizing can be done on our aluminum enclosures. Anodization adds a chemical layer of oxide film on the enclosure, which helps with corrosion resistance and surface hardness.
- Passivation is often done on cold rolled steel enclosures to remove surface contaminants that might have otherwise led to pitting and corrosion. This boosts the effective life of your enclosures.
