Yes it is but it depends on how you provide the label to us.
Easiest would be a pdf attachment and requesting this method of shipping at checkout in Front Panel Designer. You can attached files to your order. Our shipping carriers are UPS and FedEx.

What we can't do is accessing your system (supplier portal etc) and pull shipping label from there.

Best regards,
Diane

Hello,

The panel itself is very easy since it has only a few mounting holes and cutouts for the controls. It is a bit more work to reproduce the image with all the machine settings and import it as vector graphic (plt format) into Front Panel Designer.
You can prepare the vector file with any graphic software.
Let me know if you need any help with this.

Best regards,
Diane

Hi Alan,

You don't need to specify the holes on Housing Profile 2. This is where you want to use our square nuts (GGSO9903). They slide right into Housing Profile 2. You can move them to the desired position and line them up with the cover panel.

Best regards,
Diane

Thanks for the reply.

I am planning for an enclosure with housing profile 2 on both side with a tall cover panel B, i.e. the 'FB' length is large with an narrow 'A' length.

I plan to install the housing bracket between cover panel B and the side panel.

I do not find such equation from the Housing Bracket section in the manual.

Have I missed anything from the manual ? Thank you.

You are right, there is no equation for placing a bracket on the slotted side of Housing Profile 2.
The distances for placing the bracket holes depend on your material thickness and if you keep the 2mm recommended remaining material to cover the slot. I can double check your design if you like, just email me your fpd files.

Thanks, I will send in the fpd files later.

Should I send the files to info@frontpanelexpress.com ?

Posted By: Alan Tam on Jun 12, 2015 12:24PM

yes, info@frontpanelexpress.com works fine. Please mention the forum and have it to my attention.
Or you can send it to me directly at diane@frontpanelexpress.com

How do I specify a hole with a larger circular cavity on top with the same circular centre ?

Do I simply insert a hole and then insert another circular cavity (with larger diameter) on the same centre ?

Thanks.

The electrical parts that I will put on top of the cover panel will weight 20 Kg.

The cover panel is 500mm x 360mm.

Can you recommend the thickness of the panel ? At this moment I use 4mm. Will that be enough ?

Thanks.

Posted By: Alan Tam on Jun 13, 2015 05:17PM

Yes, you can stack a cavity on top of a drilled hole or you can use "manual sinking parameter" and adjust sink depth and cone angle (180 degrees)

Posted By: Diane Haensel on Jun 16, 2015 01:04AM

20kg is quite some weight. Remember the top panel is only supported on the sides and some housing brackets on front and back. Does your design allow a block within the enclosure for additional support?

Posted By: Diane Haensel on Jun 16, 2015 01:13AM

Can you give a description or an example how I can specify a block to support weight on the panel ?

Thanks.

Hello,
You can find it in the macro objects.
--> view --> macro objects --> folder 'SubD-Connector' --> 9-pole...

You can ungroup the macro object and modify the holes if needed.

Best regards,
Diane
