Metal work for 500 series

[pucho812]

Anyone know of a place to get 500 series metal work for modules?

Looking to make some 500 series stuff and my hold up is metalwork…

Are you thinking of the L bracket specifically? Frank at frontpanels.de can make them for you with whatever drills/cuts you want, and I believe CAPI also offers un-drilled L brackets for DIY (drill it yourself!). As for front panels, of course, you would get those done for 500 series just like a 19" unit, but using the format's dimensions.

Dimensions are available from VPR Alliance. Hope that helps!

If you are going to NAMM there are usually a couple booths of metal fab to talk to.

And MD&M West will be in Anaheim a couple weeks after. Lots of shops there, some that will do 100 pcs. Others will assume you mean 100k when you say 100.

So a lot depends on quantities needed. For a few faceplates it is often easier and cheaper to use front panel express.

I would second Front Panel Express for small quantities, their software is decent enough for most needs, and they can cut, drill, engrave and print.

[Anyone know of a place to get 500 series metal work for modules?] -- Essentially, -- ANY -- local metal-shop should be able to fabricate whatever it is that you are looking to have made. You don't need any kind of specialized place to have a 500-Series "L" bracket or front-panel made. Whatever you need to have done is all basic and rudimentary sheet-metal stuff!!!

[Looking to make some 500 series stuff and my hold up is metalwork] -- Give me a "detailed" sketch of whatever it is that you're looking for somewhat similar to what you see in my images #5 and #11. Then, I can provide you with what you need.




















>> I don't find creating and designing of any kind of bracket, chassis, enclosure or panel metal-work to be of any problem!!!
