Easy machining of sturdy enclosures
06 February 2017
Robust ARCA IEC cabinets from Fibox provide comprehensive protection for installed components and allow for easy and inexpensive machining.

Up to IK10 impact resistance is ensured by the enclosure design with reinforced corners and doors and by the special glass-fiber-reinforced polycarbonate material.
By reducing the fiber ratio to 10%, Fibox has eliminated the disadvantages occurring with some other materials. The polycarbonate enclosures can be easily customised with conventional tools, with negligible wear. Chips and debris material do not need to be suctioned off while working.
With some enclosure materials, threaded holes can lose their function under strain. By contrast, ARCA IEC enclosures enable long-time durable threads up to M25 and M32, providing permanently strong hold for cable gland fittings. They do not suffer from blooming either; the polycarbonate enclosures have a long-lasting smooth surface with excellent UV resistance.
