Instrumet enclosures are manufactured in aluminium which gives them a significant weight advantage over other steel 19in cases on the market.
Each case consists of two die-cast front bezels, a top panel, a base panel and a removable rear panel.
The base and rear panels include ventilation slots for cooling.
All models feature two internal support rails which ensure easy installation of heavy subracks or chassis.
The case parts are painted in a modern colour combination of widow grey, RAL 7040 (bezel), and light grey, RAL 7035 (top, base and rear panel).
The front bezel features standard caged nut mounting points for fitting the 19in subracks, chassis or accessory front panel.
The mounting points are inset in the bezels to allow the equipment to be recessed, and thus protect the controls from accidental operation.
The enclosures are supplied fully assembled, and include four moulded nonslip feet with tilt legs.
The case body, base panel and rear panel are provided with M4 x 10mm earth studs for electrical continuity.
Prices start at GBP 80.
