ROLEC’s Advanced New aluDOOR
Diecast Industrial Electronic Enclosures Specialist enclosures manufacturer ROLEC has launched advanced new aluDOOR – the next generation of hinged-lid housings for harsh outdoor and indoor industrial applications.
Elegant new aluDOOR is a tough, go-anywhere enclosure that is rated IP 66, IP 67 and –
on request – IP 69K. It can be mounted on walls, bulkheads, machines and desks. These diecast aluminium housings are effectively ‘compact cabinets’. They feature a
hinged lid that can be specified with or without a recess for a membrane keypad or product label. The lid opens 100° for easier access. A2 stainless steel lid screws and threaded inserts ensure a corrosion-resistant assembly in extreme conditions.
Fitting the lid is quick and easy. The lid with integrated hinge pin is pushed into place
then secured with two tamperproof Torx T25 (M5) screws. Then the lid is shut and locked down with two more T25 screws. Extruded aluminium trims conceal and protect the lid screws and mounting screws.
Separate mounting screw channels mean aluDOOR can be installed ‘lid closed’ –
safeguarding the electronics. The seal is a new foamed-in polyurethane gasket that offers greater protection because it is continuous – there is no join that could eventually become a weak point. Inside the enclosure, there are threaded pillars for mounting internal components such as PCBs, mounting plates and DIN rails.
Smart, modern aluDOOR is available in 10 sizes from 120 x 90 x 70 mm to 280 x 170 x 90
mm. The standard colour is anthracite grey (RAL 7016) with matt silver powder-coated lid trims. Options include special colours on request, anthracite grey (RAL 7016) lid trims, a
mounting plate, and an EMC gasket. Customisation options include CNC machining, engraving/laser processing, photo-
quality printing of legends, logos and graphics, display windows and assembly. For more information, view the ROLEC website:

Master of deep-hole drilling insists on
NSK products NSK's ground ball screws, linear roller guides and super-precision ball bearings are helping IMSA to consolidate its position of excellence in the field of specialised deep-hole drilling machines, which are particularly popular for mould-making applications in the automotive sector. Deep-hole drilling is a complex machining operation due to the absolute precision and
productivity required by today's market, particularly (but not exclusively) in the automotive mould-making industry. The moulds used for the manufacture of medium and large-sized plastic components require deep-hole drilling to create long and precise cooling ducts, some measuring up to 1500 mm and beyond. IMSA is an Italian company that has become a world leader in specialised machining
centres for deep-hole drilling. Over more than 30 years of activity, IMSA has introduced numerous technical innovations which, besides consolidating its position, have led to the installation of more than 500 machines that are currently operating in Italy and the rest of the European Union, as well as Canada, the USA, Brazil and Mexico. The company has a particularly significant market share in the automotive mould-making sector.
Partnerships contribute to a history of innovation IMSA has always been able to anticipate market needs by providing its customers with new concepts capable of making a quantum leap in the performance and productivity of deep- hole drilling. These include its exclusive autofocus system for the optimal movement of steady rests developed as far back as 1996, and the concept of independent axes for drilling and milling, which arrived the following year. In 2000, IMSA unveiled a vertical gantry structure for the column that provides 16 times more rigidity than traditional solutions. The evolution of IMSA's deep-hole drilling machines continued with the introduction of a
milling head changer, which for the first time made it possible to exchange the gun-drill head without operator intervention. The company also released its ‘Swing on Top’ switching system, which allows both deep-hole drilling and milling operations to use the same spindle. IMSA has integrated powerful liquid-cooled electro-spindles into its latest top-of-the-
range EVO series, both to improve productivity in deep-hole drilling and ensure high-level milling before and after drilling of the mould conditioning circuit. “Our partners have always played a fundamental role in all of the technological
innovations that distinguish our company,” says Marco Colombo, Head of Technical Department at IMSA. “In order to put our design ideas into practice, we use top-quality components that can guarantee the best performance and reliability over time. For example, NSK has always been our point of reference in motion control throughout the evolution of our machines. The availability of optimal-quality NSK bearings, ball screws and linear guides has allowed us to build the highest performance machines in our sector.”
