Custom sheet metal enclosures and cabinets
Housings, control cabinets, covers and consoles built to your drawing, with the inserts fitted, the seams ground, the paint cured and the panel already fitting the door.
Axinar manufactures custom sheet metal enclosures, electrical cabinets and machine housings to customer drawings. Panels are laser cut at ±0.1 mm and bent at ±0.1° with laser angle measurement, PEM inserts and rivet nuts from M3 to M8 are fitted before coating, and powder coating is applied in-house at 60 to 120 µm in any RAL colour.
An enclosure is judged on fit, not on the flat pattern
Any shop can cut the panels of a cabinet. The parts that decide whether your assembly line runs are the ones nobody quotes: whether the door gap is even along its whole length, whether the PEM nuts sit square so the standoffs do not fight the PCB, whether the paint is inside the threads, whether the second batch is identical to the first.
We build enclosures the way the drawing intends. Panels are laser cut at ±0.1 mm and bent on CNC press brakes with laser angle measurement that compensates springback in real time, so the first box is as square as the thousandth. Self-clinching inserts, rivet nuts, stud welds and helicoils are fitted before coating and masked during it. Seams that will be visible are welded and ground, and for thin sheet we use handheld laser welding, which leaves almost nothing to grind.
Coating is ours: sandblasting and phosphating, GEMA electrostatic application, oven curing at 180 to 200 °C, 60 to 120 µm in the full RAL range, Qualicoat and Qualisteelcoat processes. For outdoor enclosures we work in galvanized sheet, stainless steel or hot-dip galvanized steel to EN ISO 1461.
Enclosure types we run
Electrical and control cabinets
Mounting plates, DIN rail supports, cable entries, gland plates, locks and hinges fitted, earthing studs welded.
Machine housings and covers
Guards, covers and cladding that follow a machine frame, with windows, cutouts and access panels.
Outdoor enclosures
Galvanized, Magnelis or stainless bodies with lapped roofs and drip edges, coated for UV and coastal exposure.
Consoles and operator panels
Bent and welded housings for HMI screens and controls, with laser-marked legends and clean visible seams.
Equipment cabinets in stainless
304 and 316 cabinets for food, pharmaceutical and marine environments, brushed to a defined grain direction.
Boiler and heating enclosures
The insulated bodies we already build in series for our own heating range and for an Austrian OEM brand.
Materials, thickness and finishing options
| Item | Range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Sheet materials | Mild steel, DX51D galvanized, stainless 304 and 316, aluminium, Magnelis | Pre-coated sheet handled with protective film through cutting and bending |
| Thickness | 0.5 to 6 mm typical for enclosure bodies, thicker for bases and brackets | Laser cuts mild steel up to 40 mm for the structural parts of the same project |
| Panel size | Up to 4,000 × 2,000 mm cut, up to 4,000 mm bend length | Large panels in one piece means no visible splice on long bodies |
| Inserts | PEM self-clinching nuts and studs, rivet nuts M3 to M8, stud welding, helicoil | Fitted before coating, masked during coating |
| Coating | Powder coat 60 to 120 µm, full RAL, matt, satin or gloss, texture on request | Sandblasting and phosphating pre-treatment in-house |
| Marking | Laser marking for serial numbers, logos and legends | Used for traceability on series production |
Details that change an enclosure price
Enclosures are the product family where a short note in the RFQ saves the most money. These are the six that move the number the most.
- Which seams are visible, because ground-and-filled seams cost real time
- Flatness and gap requirements on doors and covers, stated as a number, not as good quality
- Insert list, thread sizes and positions, and whether threads must be paint free
- RAL number and gloss level, inside and outside, and whether the inside stays raw
- Assembly level, flat pack, welded body only, or fully assembled with hardware fitted
- Batch and call-off plan, since enclosures nest far better when quantities are known
Frequently asked questions
Can you work from a 3D model without drawings?
Yes for the geometry, but an enclosure almost always needs a short specification next to the model: the RAL colour, which threads must stay clean, what the door gap has to be, and what is assembled before shipping. Send the model and a one-page note and we will fill in the rest with questions.
Do you supply IP-rated enclosures?
We build to your specification, including gasket channels, continuous sealed welds, lapped roofs and drip edges. Where you need a rating verified, specify the target IP class and the test in the RFQ so the design and the test are quoted together, rather than assumed.
Can you fit hardware, gaskets and glass?
Yes. Hinges, locks, gas springs, gaskets, glass, mounting plates and cable glands are fitted in the assembly cell, either from components you supply or bought to your approved vendor list.
What is the smallest enclosure order you take?
A single prototype cabinet is normal work, it runs on the same machines as series production. If you expect a series afterwards, say so at RFQ stage, because we then design the tooling and the flat patterns for the series rather than for the one-off.
Do you coat both sides and mask threads?
Both sides is standard unless you tell us the inside stays raw or galvanized. Threads, earthing points, sealing faces and machined datums are masked on request, which should be marked on the drawing or listed in the RFQ.
Can you laser mark serial numbers for traceability?
Yes. Laser marking of serial numbers, part numbers, logos and legends is in-house, and it is what we use to tie a finished unit back to its inspection record on series production.

Upload STEP or DXF files, tell us material, thickness, finish and quantity, and our engineers return a quotation with manufacturability notes. If a small change to a bend radius or a hole position saves you money, we tell you before you order.
Every enquiry is covered by an NDA from the first file.
