Newton 1u 19" case

Case constructed with pre-galvanised iron material, to give a good rigidity to the structure, with laser cut perimeter, bending and Pem insert applications for fixing boards and closing the case.
The back part is then screen printed to identify the local analogue inputs and outputs.
Two pre-galvanised painted tabs are applied to the back part, which act as anti-burglary devices once the product has been inserted into the speaker.

Cover made of laser cut pre-galvanised steel laminate. The upper part is then painted in RAL9005, with coloured screen printing that represents the customer logo in the centre.
We masked the internal part to obtain selective paint-free areas in order to guarantee conductivity with the case with which it is coupled.

The most important part of the mechanical case.
The frame was made with a dedicated extrusion die designed by elmec. Once the milling phase is finished, the product will be anodised in black, making it consistent the painted case and lid.
Unlike the protection with scotch tape, once the treatment is finished the front panel will undergo additional milling by removing the oxide layer in the conductive areas in contact with the various elements to ground the case overall (case, top cover and front panel).
As the last step, the panel is pad-printed on the front. This type of processing replaces the classic screen printing because the structure is concave and its allows the writing to be applied on non-planar surfaces, as in this solution.

The electronics of this system require attention in terms of EMC to preserve their correct functioning.
All the metal components of the case must be conductive to create a shield.
The case body is painted, but specific protective adhesive tapes are applied to create selective conductive areas. These areas are required throughout the interior of the case, in the supporting edge of the cover to the case and in correspondence with the connector outputs.

To identify the three hardware types of the Newton product, as described in the design solutions, we have 3 laser-cut pre-galvanised labels, painted in 3 different colours and screen-printed depending on the hardware solution for the no. of analogue inputs and outputs:

• NEWTON LABEL 16
• NEWTON LABEL 16+4
• NEWTON LABEL 16+8

These will be applied by the customer on the front interface according to the market requirements.

The system is made up of the following materials:
This system is made up of 3 different materials (pre-galvanised steel, 6060 alloy aluminium, carbon steel for the fasteners applied to the base, as a support for the electronics).
The result was achieved using 12 different technologies (design study, extrusion, extruded profile cutting, milling, laser cutting, bending, masking, mounting inserts, anodising treatments, painting, screen printing and pad printing), 6 of which were obtained via our trusted network (design study, extrusion, screen printing and pad printing, anodising treatments and painting).
