New VESA-mount enclosures for control electronics and HMI

30-01-2024 | Metcase | Industrial

METCASE has released elegant new TECHNOMET-CONTROL aluminium enclosures for electronic control systems, panel PCs and HMI electronics. They are created for mounting on standard VESA brackets/arms, walls, machines and round poles.

The enclosure is excellent for indoor applications, including industrial machine control, factory processing, security systems, test and measurement, point-of-sale, IIoT and detection equipment. It is suited for Siemens TP displays (sizes KTP400 to TP1200) but can also house touchscreens and displays by manufacturers, including Beckhoff and B&R.

Slim, attractive TECHNOMET-CONTROL offers a modern, cohesive design. Diecast front and rear bezels fit flush with the main case body. Snap-on trims hide all the assembly screws. The enclosures are easy and cost-effective to customise in any size, with abundant space for connectors.

The front panel is recessed in the bezel to protect displays and membrane keypads. At the rear, VESA MIS-D 100 mounting points are supplied for fitting an off-the-shelf VESA control arm or wall bracket. The base panel on the underside is removable, with space for cable entry.

Inside, the assembly extrusions have M3 holes and guide rails to hold internal plates, and the rear panel has M3 PCB pillars. All the case panels are equipped with M4 threaded pillars for earth connections. Some studs can also be utilised with retaining straps to secure the front and rear panels during maintenance.

The enclosure is available as standard in four sizes, from 230mm x 180mm to 420mm x 300mm, with a slim profile that is just 95mm deep. The standard colour is traffic grey A (RAL 7042) or traffic grey A/traffic white (RAL 7042/9016). Custom colours are also available on request.

Accessories include front panels, internal mounting plates, wall mounting kits and a pole mounting bracket (for poles ⌀50 mm or larger).

The company can supply these enclosures fully customised. Services include bespoke sizes, CNC machining, custom front panels, fixings and inserts, photo-quality digital printing, and painting/finishing.
