Sheet Metal Enclosures and Housing Fabrications
Sheet metal enclosures primarily protect the electrical components, control units, and other parts inside the equipment. They can be made as a box, cabinet, cover, or equipment housing, and their size and structure can be adjusted to fit the equipment’s internal space.
RFS manufactures custom sheet metal enclosures for various devices. Customers can provide drawings, dimensions, or samples, and RFS will cut, bend, shape, weld, and surface-treat the sheet metal according to specific requirements. For enclosures that require openings, mounting brackets, door panels, or other structures, RFS can also process these components together.
