Your guide to cutting-edge aluminum enclosures – discover the new METCASE catalogs

NEW CATALOG UPDATES MAKE SPECIFICATION EASIER

We’ve updated our METCASE catalogs to help you find the perfect aluminum enclosures for your electronics. Ten fully revised individual model catalogs are now available to download from our website, with updates to the remaining older catalogs coming soon.

Each new catalog provides detailed insights into the benefits and technical features of a specific model. You’ll find exploded views, along with guides to all the standard variants, sizes, colors and accessories.

There are also examples showing how each model can look when customised. It takes surprisingly little effort to transform a standard enclosure into a unique solution tailored to your specific requirements. A bit of machining, a few custom color highlights and some digital printing are often all that’s needed—making customization viable even for low-volume orders.

For the first time, every new catalog is available in five languages: UK English, US English (with dimensions in inches), German, Spanish, and French. The relevant language versions are available on the METCASE UK, USA, Australian, German, Swiss and French websites respectively.

You can download the catalog for each model by visiting the Technical Info page and clicking the Catalogs tab. The 10 new sections range from COMBIMET 19" to UNIVERSAL BAIL ARMS.

Alternatively, use the Product Name dropdown menu (top right) to select your preferred model. Then simply scroll down to the Catalog Documents tab.

ADVANCED 19" RACK CASES AND DESKTOP MINI-RACKS

Three of the new catalog feature enclosures for 19" electronics: COMBIMET 19" and METTEC 19" rack cases and INSTRUMET 19" mini-racks. Each model offers its own technical benefits – and a wide choice of standard and customization options.

COMBIMET is our most popular range of 19" rack cases because it’s most versatile and also the most cost-effective. Its simple but smart design offers many technical advantages at a very compelling price point.

The flat bezel-less front makes COMBIMET cost-effective to manufacture, even in custom heights, widths and depths – and we pass those savings on to you the customer. Many of the custom sizes and variants that have been requested over the years have proven so popular that they’ve now become available as standard.

ELEGANT INSTRUMENT ENCLOSURES FOR DESKTOP ELECTRONICS

Five of the new catalog are dedicated to desktop and portable instrument enclosures, notably the premium TECHNOMET range. This highly attractive ‘next level’ model has been designed and manufactured to fine tolerances. Diecast bezels fit flush with the main case body for a smooth, stylish appearance. Snap-on trims conceal the fixings.

Other desktop models include UNICASE, UNIDESK, UNIMET and UNIMET-PLUS. These last two models are both available with a bail arm that can also be used as a desk stand. The bail arm can be adjusted in 30° increments to create the optimum angle for viewing and operation. In this respect, it is similar to the diecast UNIVERSAL BAIL ARMS that can be fitted to other enclosures.

NEW VESA-MOUNT ALUMINUM ENCLOSURES

Discover lots of downloadable information about our advanced TECHNOMET-CONTROL VESA-mount enclosures. In addition to the new catalogs in English, German, Spanish and French, you can also download datasheets for mounting Siemens, Beijer and Turck Banner displays.

TECHNOMET-CONTROL is designed to fit standard VESA MIS-D 100 mountings – making it easy to fit to control arms and wall brackets. The enclosures have been designed to house Siemens TP displays (KTP400 to TP1200) and they’re also compatible with other manufacturers’ screens, notably Turck Banner (TX705 to TX810) and Beijer (X2). 

The enclosures feature the same design language as TECHNOMET with flush-fit front and rear bezels and snap-on trims that hide all the fixing screws. A clever internal extrusion system makes TECHNOMET-CONTROL cost-effective to manufacture and simple to customiZe – with plenty of space for connectors.
