Description
Materials:
Our stocked extrusions are 6063 Aluminum.
Top and bottom panels specifically must be 0.064″ (1.63mm) 5052 aluminum in order to fit the aluminum extrusion’s slots.
The machined front and rear panels are typically made from 6061 Aluminum, as this type of aluminum is very easy to machine.
Finishes:
The aluminum extrusions (side rails) come in a bare aluminum mill finish. Powdercoat and/or chem filmed can be applied to the extrusion as a secondary finish. We do not recommend applying anodizing to aluminum extrusions.
The panels in an extruded aluminum enclosure can have many of our finishes applied (either for the entire enclosure, or part-by-part):
- Powdercoat
- Chem-Film Coating
- Anodizing*
- Grained Finish
- Vibratory Finish
- Masking
Graphics & Labelling:
The front, rear, top and bottom panels in a hybrid enclosure can have graphics and other marking applied:
- Digital Printing
- Silkscreening
- Machined Engraving
- Dot Peening
