Sheet Metal Enclosure

Custom Sheet Metal Enclosures
Built to Your Drawings

TZR manufactures custom sheet metal enclosures from your 2D drawings, 3D CAD files, specifications, and bills of materials.

We support functional prototypes, low-volume production, bridge production, and repeat orders. Your project can include sheet metal fabrication, welding, CNC machining, hardware installation, surface finishing, mechanical assembly, inspection, and custom packaging.

Sheet Metal Enclosures for Industrial Equipment

Sheet Metal Enclosures for
Industrial Equipment

A standard enclosure may not match your equipment size, mounting layout, cable entries, internal components, or service requirements.

A custom sheet metal enclosure gives you control over the material, dimensions, hardware, finish, internal structure, and assembly method. It can also reduce drilling, rework, and installation changes after delivery.

Electrical Boxes
and Cabinets

Custom designs for control boxes, wall-mounted enclosures, floor-standing cabinets, battery equipment enclosures, and power cabinets. Options can include hinged doors, removable covers, mounting plates, shelves, rails, and cable-entry panels.

Equipment Housings
and Chassis

Protect electronics, machinery, instruments, and internal assemblies with custom machine housings, electronic chassis, control panels, access panels, and aluminum housings.

Welded Enclosure
Assemblies

Larger enclosures can use welded frames, formed panels, internal supports, and removable covers. The structure can be designed around strength, access, appearance, installation, and maintenance.

Common
Applications
Industrial machinery
Factory automation
Robotics
Electrical equipment
Energy systems
Telecommunications

Select the Right
Enclosure Material

Material choice affects strength, weight, corrosion resistance, appearance, fabrication, and total manufacturing cost.

TZR commonly manufactures enclosures from carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and galvanized steel. The final choice should match the installation environment and product requirements.

Select the Right Enclosure Material

Carbon Steel

A practical choice for industrial cabinets, equipment housings, control boxes, and machine covers. It provides good strength and is commonly finished with powder coating or paint.

Stainless Steel

Suitable for corrosion resistance, frequent cleaning, and exposed metal appearance. Often used for laboratory, food-processing, medical, outdoor, and industrial equipment.

Aluminum

Reduces enclosure weight and provides natural corrosion resistance. Common for electronic equipment, portable products, telecommunications, and other weight-sensitive applications.

Galvanized Steel

Useful when moderate corrosion protection is required. Common for electrical boxes, internal mounting panels, equipment housings, and industrial components.

i
Material selection should match the installation environment, appearance needs, fabrication process, and total cost target.

Hardware Installation and Mechanical Assembly

Hardware Installation and
Mechanical Assembly

Including hardware and assembly in the project scope can reduce work after delivery and simplify supplier management. TZR can install customer-specified hardware and assemble internal enclosure components.

  • Threaded hardware for secure mounting
  • Doors, locks, and access components
  • Internal parts and customer-specified subassemblies

Threaded Hardware

Self-clinching nuts, studs, standoffs, rivet nuts, weld nuts, and grounding studs can be installed according to the drawing.

Doors and Access Hardware

Enclosures may include hinges, latches, cam locks, quarter-turn locks, handles, and mounting rails.

Internal Parts and Subassemblies

Mounting plates, shelves, brackets, dividers, covers, and support frames can be manufactured and assembled.

Customer-Specified Components

Provide approved part numbers, sourcing requirements, and assembly instructions when special components are required.

i
Assembly instructions should identify component location, orientation, fasteners, and key inspection points.
Send your assembly requirements or hardware list for review.

How We Manufacture
Custom Sheet Metal Enclosures

A custom enclosure normally passes through several connected manufacturing steps. The production route depends on material, thickness, part size, geometry, quantity, finish, and assembly requirements.

How We Manufacture Custom Sheet Metal Enclosures

Cutting and Punching

Laser cutting, turret punching, and stamping create profiles, holes, slots, knockouts, louvers, and cable-entry features.

CNC Bending

Forms panels, doors, covers, brackets, and enclosure bodies. Bend radius, reliefs, and hole-to-bend distance affect final fit.

Welding and Joining

TIG, MIG, spot welding, laser welding, rivets, tabs, and fasteners are selected according to strength, appearance, and service access.

Deburring and Preparation

Edges, weld areas, and formed parts may be deburred, ground, or prepared before finishing and assembly.

DFM Review for Enclosure Fit and Function

DFM Review for Enclosure Fit and Function

Small drawing details can create large problems after bending, welding, finishing, and assembly. TZR reviews the enclosure design before production to identify features that may affect manufacturability, fit, appearance, hardware installation, and production cost.

Bend Features and Panel Alignment

We review bend radii, hole-to-bend distance, panel gaps, and key formed dimensions that affect fit and assembly.

Doors, Hinges, and Latches

We check clearances, opening angles, overlaps, and latch positions for smooth operation and service access.

Hardware and Tool Access

We confirm there is enough room to install fasteners, hardware, and internal components without assembly issues.

Functional and Environmental Features

We review ventilation openings, sealing details, cable entries, drainage, grounding needs, and other functional requirements.

Cosmetic Surfaces

We identify visible surfaces and review weld locations, finishing direction, fastener visibility, and appearance requirements.

Early DFM review helps reduce risk, avoid rework, and improve enclosure fit before production begins.

Quality Control for Enclosure Fit and Function

Quality control should focus on the dimensions and features that affect installation, operation, appearance, and repeat production. The inspection scope should be defined according to the approved drawing and project requirements.

First-Article Inspection

The first completed parts or assembly may be checked before full production begins. The inspection scope may include overall dimensions, hole and cutout locations, bend angles, door fit, panel alignment, hardware positions, weld locations, and surface requirements.

In-Process Inspection

Checks may be completed after cutting, bending, welding, hardware installation, finishing, and assembly. This helps identify problems before they affect the entire production batch.

Final Assembly Inspection

Finished enclosures may be checked for door movement, panel gaps, latch operation, hinge alignment, hardware completeness, surface condition, grounding locations, assembly fit, and packaging requirements.

Inspection Documentation

State any required documentation with the request for quote. This may include dimensional reports, first-article reports, material certificates, surface inspection requirements, sampling requirements, and packaging inspection records.

Quality Control for Enclosure Fit and Function
Clear inspection requirements help reduce production risk and improve repeat-order consistency.

From Prototype Approval to Repeat Production

We support your project from the first prototype to stable, repeatable production.

Prototype and
Engineering Builds

We help you verify fit, function, hardware access, appearance, and assembly before moving forward.

Drawing Approval and
Revision Control

We manufacture to the approved revision and manage changes to protect quality and consistency.

Low-Volume and
Bridge Production

We support product launches, field testing, and early demand with flexible production.

Repeat Production
and Scaling

We focus on consistency, traceability, and reliable delivery as your volumes increase.
