Custom front panel service

METCASE has extended its custom front panels service with CMYK digital printing technology, enabling legends, logos and photo quality graphics to be printed on to front panels.

Custom front panels can be manufactured in aluminium or steel – machined and fully finished with apertures for LEDs, displays and switches. The service includes CNC punching of holes and cutouts; drilling and tapping; fitting of inserts, studs and earth tags.

The company also offers linishing of aluminium panels for a blemish-free finish; natural and colour anodising; powder or wet painting in custom colours; engraving for heavy duty applications.

METCASE can supply 3D models in STEP, SAT and X_T formats so customers can see how their front panel will look prior to manufacture. The company can also work to the customer’s own 2D drawings or 3D models.

As well as producing custom front panels, digital printing is also available on complete enclosures. METCASE also manufactures fully customised rack cases and instrument enclosures. Services include CNC machining, custom-sized versions of standard METCASE housings, bespoke enclosures and sheet metal work.
