MetalPhoto®

metalphoto

Metalphoto® is photosensitive, anodized aluminum used to make durable, high-resolution nameplates, labels, and control panels. Metalphoto’s durability comes from its image – which is sealed inside of the anodized aluminum, providing corrosion, sunlight, abrasion, temperature and chemical resistance.  Its unique, photographic imaging process creates ultra-high resolution graphics and variable information – including machine-readable barcodes, anti-counterfeit security […]

Assembly

assembly

On-site assembly ensures the overlay, circuitry, and sub panel layers align properly.  The strongest bond between these layers is normally accomplished by using a pressure sensitive acrylic adhesive (PSA) in combination with a high pressure flat bed roller application.  Here is where all the layers join and edge-flush construction is realized.  The assembly department works […]

Edge Painting

painting

If desired, we can paint exposed areas of your front panels with two different industrial grade paint systems.  The colors of which match any Pantone/PMS and RAL specifications.  The first is powder coating and the second is a more conventional wet spray paint.  It is a catalyzed acrylic-urethane based paint that precisely mixes 16 base […]

Lens Pockets

lenses

Lenses are a great option when windows need to be thick enough to protect displays against harsh environments.  Finishes and colors for lenses are on a case by case basis, but polycarbonate and acrylic are frequently the materials we handle.  The lenses are machined in the same department as the metal substrate they are dropped […]

Hardware Insertion

hardware inserts

If your panels require any hardware, we can install it.  We carry an extensive array of nuts, screws, studs, pins, rivets, and standoffs in imperial and metric by the brands PEM, Southco, and Captive Fastener.  This hardware comes in your choice of stainless, zinc plated, and nylon.  We always have the ability to assemble complete panels and brackets in conjunction with metal fabrication.  Typically, […]

Anodizing

color anodizing

Precision Graphics finishes aluminum panels with zinc plating and chromate conversion per MIL-C-5541B.  We provide complete anodizing which includes clear, black, and even color anodizing.  For features like grounds, masked areas are also an option.

Bending

We have 1,000’s of punches and endmills including all the standard shapes, rounds, connectors, and stock switch sizes, among others, in addition to our laser-cutting abilities. We can machine gauges ranging from .020” to .500” on the X, Y, and Z axes with 40 different tools in a single program all capable of a .005” […]

Tail Connectors

tail connectors

We install tail connectors of practically all varieties.  That includes latching, polarized, and locking connectors.  It also includes single and double row connectors with any number of pins.  These connectors have a .100” pitch, but .050” is also available.  ZIF (zero insertion force) connectors are a lower cost alternative.  The pitch of these connectors come […]

Shielding

membrane switch shielding

Ambient electromagnetic and radio waves can negatively affect sensitive circuitry.  However, our metal fabricating capabilities can equip your circuitry with an EMI/RFI shielding.  The dimensions of your EMI/RFI shielding will protect completely and fit exactly.
