ROLEC rolls out diecast aluminium enclosures as defence electronics demand intensifies

ROLEC, a leading manufacturer of industrial enclosures in aluminium and plastic, after studying the growing demand for sturdy, environmentally sealed housing solutions, has announced the latest line of diecast aluminium enclosures. These aluminium enclosures are designed specifically for use in defence and military electronics.

The diecast enclosures, which are said to be the firm’s IP-rated, are developed for electronic systems found in tracked and wheeled military vehicles, naval ships, auxiliary vessels, training and simulation gear, military cranes and rail networks used for transporting troops, logistics and supply operations.

Sean Bailey stated, "ROLEC’s latest diecast enclosures are engineered to protect mission‑critical defence electronics, combining high IP ratings, shielding and military‑approved finishes for reliable operation."

The aluDOOR series

Launched back in 2022, the firm’s aluDOOR series showcases a hinged-lid design, which boosts protection ratings, ranging from IP66 all the way up to IP69K. Users are able to choose between a recessed or smooth top section, making it perfect for advanced control panels and display systems. Additionally, the “lid-closed” installation method ensures the safety of both the seal and internal electronics during the assembly stage. 

The aluKOM range

The firm's aluKOM range is deemed to be a versatile solution for terminal enclosures, providing IP66 protection and compatibility with standard industry sizes. This makes it easier to replace existing units. However, on the other hand, this is said to have four configurations, which feature either flat or raised covers paired with various base section designs as well as meet IP66 and IP67 standards for a wide range of applications.

The conFORM enclosure

The needed protection against electromagnetic interference for the electronics, the firm provides with conFORM enclosure series as solution. This is because this series features an in-built RFI/EMI shielding, which has been possible because of a unique tooth-and-rail system that seamlessly integrates into both the lid and base.

The firm enables its consumers with the option to customise all the enclosures with durable, weather-resistant F9-rated powder coatings that meet WIWeB standards and are suitable for military applications. These coatings come in a variety of colours, including RAL 6031-F9 bronze green, RAL 1039-F9 sand beige, RAL 8027-F9 leather brown, and RAL 9021-F9 tar black, ensuring effective camouflage in both visible and near-infrared light. Additionally, the same coatings are available in wet-painted finishes and comply with essential military standards, including the defence equipment standard VG 95211.

In all, the firm has been and is continuing to offer a range of accessories, such as cable glands, pressure compensation elements, terminal blocks, mounting plates, rails, hinges, brackets and lid supports.
