Cases & enclosures
industrial enclosures could be required to protect, and the variety of responses to the initial specification criteria, customisation is frequently required. Even though enclosure manufacturers like Spelsberg have an expansive and flexible range, developed over years of engagement with customers across a multitude of uses, the capability to create a bespoke housing remains essential to many customers. Enclosures manufactured from industrial plastic may have knock-out holes to allow tool-free adaption, but a CNC service can achieve specific entry and exit points for cables, or allow other points of access, such as control interfaces. Customisation could also involve wider services such as printing, whether for branding or safety information.
A BASIS FOR DEVELOPMENT While customisation is a logical extension of the philosophy to keep the customer’s application requirements central to the development of an enclosure, any bespoke work must be applied to a housing design that has already undergone rigorous development. While Spelsberg have been developing enclosures for more than 120

years, the latest design innovations have provided some of the most advanced enclosure features. From condensation-free boxes, through to junction boxes that can provide critical power in case of a fire for 90 minutes, close cooperation with the customer has led to a range of important features. Since the development of Spelsberg’s first plastic enclosure in the 1900s, the company still relies on a tried-and-tested approach to materials selection, today using polycarbonate as one of the choices for housings. Extremely strong and impermeable, the material enables rapid customisation. Moreover, its light weight is advantageous for many applications and makes for an easier installation.
TURN-KEY SERVICE
The focus on providing a complete solution to the customer, partnering with them from specification through to installation and use of the enclosure in the field, means retaining accountability. While in-house services in customisation can achieve a completed enclosure, additional services including assembly can provide a completed unit. This means that if required, all electrical components can be installed, and wiring connected, ready for
installation at the host location.
The advantage of a turn-key service, where all adaptations are provided by a single supplier, makes the supply of the enclosure as a completed project much more streamlined for the customer. Along with easier management, partnering with a single supplier can also achieve a faster project completion time, and enables any issues to be rapidly resolved.
BEYOND THE ENCLOSURE For repeat orders, procuring an industrial enclosure from an online search or catalogue could be a fast and practical approach. However, for new projects or specific installations, it is often faster in the long-run to engage the input of an enclosure engineering service. With a customer-centric philosophy, and a relationship for each project that focusses on the demands of the application throughout, the right enclosure can be realised. Spelsberg is 121 years old this year, and this same approach has been practiced since the very origins of the company.
