From Brackets to Enclosures: The Versatility of Custom Sheet Metal
Comments Off on From Brackets to Enclosures: The Versatility of Custom Sheet MetalThe Versatility of Sheet Metal
Manufacturers can transform flattened, raw sheet metal into a vast range of three-dimensional products. Using automated or manual sheet metal fabrication, manufacturers can cut, shape, and bend pieces of sheet metal to match customer specifications, making sheet metal one of the most versatile options for fabricating precision goods. Sheet metal is also repairable and recyclable, making it a cost-effective, sustainable choice.
Pyramid Fab & Finish serves the automotive, aerospace, and construction industries with durable aircraft parts, fasteners, car parts, and structural components. We offer customization options and work with a variety of metals.
Small Components: Brackets, Mounts, and Housings
Pyramid Fab & Finish produces a wide range of custom sheet metal products, including brackets, mounts, and housings for numerous industries.
Brackets
Brackets are bent and shaped pieces of sheet metal that can support, hold together, or connect various parts. Metal bracket fabrication can meet specific size, shape, and load-bearing requirements for the following:
- Automotive and aerospace. Serve as key components for engine parts, structural supports, and interior components.
- Construction. Custom or heavy-duty brackets can be ideal for architectural and structural components.
- Electronics. Frequently used with electronic enclosures, rack-mounted equipment, and data port connectors.
- Medical equipment. Suitable for use with precision tools and diagnostic equipment.
Mounts
Mounts attach objects to a surface and come in different load-bearing capacities and shapes. Mounts can also provide vibration-dampening effects. Some examples of their use include:
- Industrial machinery. Important for control panels and equipment setup, especially in busy or harsh environments.
- Solar energy. Used for connecting frames and as supports for solar panels.
- Transportation. Suitable for electronics in vehicles and heavy-duty vehicle structures.
Housings and Enclosures
Housings and enclosures are important for sensitive electronics that require protection, creating a secure barrier between the electronics and the surrounding environment. These are seen in applications such as:
- Computers and telecommunications. Used for protecting electronics from EMI, dust, and moisture.
- Industrial equipment. Used with motors and pumps.
- Data centers. Help protect servers from environmental hazards and unauthorized access.
- Medical devices. Support a sterile, safe environment for medical instruments and devices.
Large Structures: Enclosures and Custom Builds
Along with small components, large structural elements can be built from sheet metal, as well.
Enclosures
Custom enclosures can keep equipment secure in harsh or changing environmental conditions. With high-quality fabrication, sheet metal enclosures can protect internal components from corrosion, extreme temperatures, and physical impact.
Pyramid Fab & Finish provides enclosures to block dust, dirt, moisture, and even electromagnetic interference to ensure longer-lasting performance. Our engineers can produce NEMA 6, NEMA 6P, and IP 68 waterproof-rated enclosures. Custom enclosures can also have unique features like advanced locking systems, ventilation panels, and fans for thermal management, with special finishes available for different requirements. Powder coating can further protect the housing while giving it a superior color and texture.
Custom Large Builds
Sheet metal fabrication is a versatile, reliable method for producing other oversized and large components. Sheet metal is strong, has a high strength-to-weight ratio, and can have a very slim profile.
At Pyramid Fab & Finish, we can provide large custom enclosures for data centers, industrial manufacturing equipment, renewable energy structures, telecommunication equipment, and more. With CNC machining equipment and press brakes, we can produce large volumes of components with intricate shapes, including decorative canopies, ornamental panels, and roofing panels. Further customization is also available depending on the application’s requirements.
