Precision sheet metal for instrumentation and control
In instrumentation and control the parts are small and the tolerances tight. We cut and bend enclosures, mounting frames and panels where a tenth of a millimetre counts.

We make instrument enclosures, mounting plates, brackets and frames — often in small series and in stainless steel or aluminium. Fits for sensors, glands and connectors are cut along with the part, so assembly needs no reworking.
With thin sheet, fixing needs attention: we set self-clinching and rivet nuts in place, so no loose tapped holes or nuts are needed. Edges are deburred by machine, and where the part is on show we supply it ground or blasted.

Frequently asked questions
Do you also make small series?
Yes. One-offs and small series run on the same machines as larger series. With small quantities the emphasis is on thinking along about manufacturability, so that an enclosure is right first time.
How do you fasten components in thin sheet metal?
With self-clinching or rivet nuts, which we insert in house. A self-clinching nut gives the strongest and flattest connection; we choose a rivet nut when the back is not accessible. In stainless steel sheet metal we use stainless steel nuts, to prevent contact corrosion.
What accuracy do you achieve when bending?
On our servo-electric press brake we bend with tolerances to ISO 2768. State on the drawing which dimensions are critical and we will focus our inspection on them.
