Spelsberg

Spelsberg’s in-house UK CNC capabilities mean that it is able to produce large volumes of highly customised enclosures for customers on very short lead times. OEMs and contractors that need specialised enclosures also have access to a fast prototype service and the facility to order ready modified enclosures in place of standard products. The onsite milling and drilling service offers customers the opportunity to specify exact custom machining requirements on any smooth walled enclosure within the Spelsberg range.

Spelsberg’s facilities include two advanced CNC production cells at the UK headquarters. The machines can customise all sizes of Spelsberg aluminium, polycarbonate and polystyrene enclosures. The standard Spelsberg range includes over 4,000 unique products including IP68 protected and UV protected enclosures; each can be fully customised, meaning that Spelsberg really can provide the perfect solution to almost any application.

Spelsberg’s customisation abilities include any combination of circular holes, hinge fixing points, push button holes, rectangles, countersunk holes and threaded holes on any external surface. The customisation ensures that non standard cables and cable gland requirements can be easily accommodated without the need to employ an enclosure that is otherwise unsuitable for the application.

Spelsberg has the flexibility to quickly produce one or many thousands of bespoke enclosures; customers benefit from being able to obtain low cost prototypes without having to place orders for large numbers of one design. Each enclosure template is then kept on the system, making re-ordering simpler, quicker and cheaper.

Chris Lloyd, speaking on behalf of Spelsberg ELS, comments: “At Spelsberg we understand that every customer has different requirements for their application and they do not want to compromise when it comes to their products protection. For this reason we not only offer an extensive range of enclosures to start from; we are also capable of customising every enclosure we make. We are able to run large and small numbers of customised boxes and always save the template to make re-ordering as simple as possible.”

Having the facility for customising enclosures in-house in combination with offering the widest range of plastic enclosures ex-stock in the UK, means Spelsberg can significantly reduce delivery times of bespoke enclosures to customers throughout the country. Spelsberg UK’s headquarters are centrally located in Telford, providing customers with immediate access to technical support and next day delivery on all standard items.
