Custom Enclosure Fabrication Services

Enclosures are box-like structures designed to protect electrical equipment from environmental factors, such as weather, corrosive solvents, electromagnetic interference, vibration, and liquid ingress. To ensure the proper protection of electrical components, it’s important to choose the right electrical enclosure for the intended application. At Pyramid Fab & Finish, we fabricate custom outdoor and indoor enclosures for many applications in the energy and battery storage industries.

Pyramid Fab & Finish has experience manufacturing a range of parts with precision sheet metal fabrication and powder coating, working with a fully capable facility. Whether our customers require a small bracket or a full-sized enclosure, we are committed to providing the highest quality results with every project.

Depending on your project specifications, we can work with a variety of sheet metals to manufacture your enclosure, including:

Recent Projects

To give you a better idea of what we can do for you, here are some past products we’ve completed for our customers:

• Custom-fabricated NEMA enclosure. An example of our success building NEMA enclosures, one of our customers in the electronics industry benefited from a 16-gauge steel NEMA-rated enclosure that we constructed using a range of equipment including our brake press, turret press, welder, and hardware insertion systems, complete with a safety yellow powder coating.
• Aluminum medical control box for the medical industry. With an understanding of the needs of medical enclosures, we manufactured a control housing for a customer in the medical industry that consisted of .125″ thick aluminum. We were able to cost-effectively and rapidly produce a high-quality solution using our CNC-controlled press brakes, punch presses, and conveyorized powder coating line.
• Large enclosure for the electronics industry. A customer in the electronics industry required a large 78″ x 40″ x 24″ enclosure, which we were able to manufacture using precut cold-rolled steel sheets with our large turret press, along with brake presses that bent metal parts to shape the components going into the finished enclosure. We then coated each part with the help of our in-line Faraday cage booth.
• Custom-fabricated NEMA-rated cabinet control box. Another project involving a NEMA-rated application was a cabinet control box for an electronics customer, which consisted of 14-gauge steel. Measuring 12.313″ long and 9″ wide, we formed, welded, punched, deburred, ground, powder-coated, and assembled the box to exact specifications using our in-house machining systems.

Types of Custom Enclosures

There are several types of custom enclosures:

• Console enclosures: These are freestanding enclosures with a sloped front or top for mounting electronic control components.
• Consolet enclosures: Consolet enclosures are designed to house electronic or electric instruments and controls, such as pushbuttons. They feature a sloped front for mounting in either a 30° or 60° incline on either side.
• Modular enclosures: These enclosures come in standardized dimensions, allowing for easy rearrangement to create customized enclosures or larger cabinets.
• NEMA and IP enclosures: National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) protection ratings and ingress protection (IP) standards classify an enclosure’s protection level from foreign objects and moisture.
• PC enclosures: These enclosures are used to protect personal computers (PCs) in industrial settings.
• Rack enclosures: Rack enclosures commonly house standard 19-inch equipment or other rack-mounted devices, such as server modules or wall mounts.
• Terminal boxes and junction boxes: These rectangular enclosures protect sensitive electrical connections. You will commonly find them in engine and electrical rooms.

Benefits of Custom Enclosures

Custom enclosures offer several benefits:

• Equipment safety: Heat produced by electrical equipment can cause insulation damage, component failure, and even complete system failure. Using a custom electrical enclosure allows you to regulate the temperatures, effectively increasing your equipment’s lifespan. Custom electronic enclosures also feature locking mechanisms that protect your equipment from theft or tampering.
• Employee safety: Unenclosed electrical equipment is a safety hazard, especially when employees work in close proximity. The heat produced by your electrical equipment can accumulate to uncomfortable levels and cause dehydration, cramps, headaches, heat stroke, rashes, and even death. Employees can also get burned if they touch an unenclosed electrical component. Electrical enclosures contain the thermal effects of electrical operation, improving employee safety and comfort.
• Reduced fire risk: Sometimes electrical panels malfunction or give off sparks, resulting in an electrical fire that can spread quickly. A custom electrical enclosure protects internal components and external surroundings from fire risk.
