Laser Cut EMI/RFI Shield for Electronic Controls Enclosure
This project highlights EMD Controls & Fabrication’s ability to contract manufacture precision laser cut components. The part shown was designed as a metal shield for electronic controls enclosure to protect against EMI/RFI interference. Composed entirely of 16 gauge 304 stainless steel, the customer supplied drawings specified an overall size of 6.26″ long by 4.125″ wide by 1.25″ high along with a requirement for mounting brackets and holes plus slots for cables.
Manufacturing of this component utilized our precision CNC fiber laser cutting machine to cut the flat stainless steel plate to size. The plate was then finished to deburr and round the edges. Our 7 axis press brake was then used to bend the part into its final shape. At EMD we pride ourselves in ability to laser cut and produce this part to a tolerance of only two thousandths of an inch.
We manufacture this plate in quantities of 25 to 250, with lead times of 2 weeks. For more information on this project, or the processes used to fabricate it, please Contact Us.
