Choosing the right enclosure material depends on your application and the environmental conditions. Generally, aluminium, plastic or polyester enclosures are used. Each material has specific properties and is suitable for different applications.

The following factors, amongst others, play a role in the selection process:
• Indoor or outdoor use
• UV radiation, humidity and temperature
• Chemical exposure
• Mechanical stress
• Required protection rating 

Our experts will be happy to help you select the ideal material for your application.

The required protection rating depends on the environmental conditions to which the enclosure is exposed. Depending on the product, ROLEC offers protection ratings ranging from IP 54 to IP 69K, providing solutions for a wide variety of applications – from dusty production environments to high-pressure cleaning.

ROLEC enclosures are designed for continuous use in demanding industrial environments. Their mechanical robustness is described, amongst other things, by the IK protection rating and depends on the material, design and application.
We would be happy to recommend the right enclosure solution for your mechanical requirements.

Yes. On request, we can supply your housing fully machined and ready for assembly.

Our range of services includes, amongst other things:

• Customised surface finishes 

This means you receive a complete, ready-to-install solution from a single source.

The durability of an enclosure depends on the material used and the specific operating conditions.

Factors that influence this include, for example:
• Chemicals and cleaning agents
• UV radiation
• Moisture and salt water
• Temperature
• Mechanical stress 

Your personal contact will help you select the right material for your application.

Depending on the product, various approvals and certifications are available.

The lead time depends on the enclosure series selected and the extent of the required finishing. Many standard enclosures are available at short notice. Customised solutions involving machining, labelling or assembly may take slightly longer, depending on the project.

Thanks to our manufacturing facilities in Germany and efficient production processes, we are also able to complete bespoke projects at short notice. We would be happy to provide you with the delivery time for your chosen specification.

Yes. On request, ROLEC can provide you with much more than just an empty housing.

Among other things, we take care of:
• mechanical machining
• assembly of components
• fitting of display panels
• integration of membrane keyboards
• assembly of HMI components
• customised labelling and surface finishes 

You’ll receive a complete, ready-to-install solution that’s precisely tailored to your application. This reduces assembly effort, saves time and means you benefit from a single point of contact throughout the entire project.

For outdoor use, ROLEC offers various ranges of enclosures made from aluminium, plastic or polyester. The right solution depends on the specific environmental conditions – such as UV radiation, humidity, temperature or chemical exposure.

Many of our enclosures meet high protection ratings up to IP 69K and are specifically designed for long-term outdoor use. We would be happy to assist you in selecting the right enclosure solution.

Yes. Many ROLEC enclosures are designed for long-term outdoor use and offer high UV resistance.

Depending on the enclosure series, specially selected materials or high-quality surface coatings are used to ensure that colour, function and stability are maintained over the long term, even under intense sunlight. We would be happy to advise you individually on which model is suitable for your application.

The permissible temperature range depends on the specific enclosure series and the material used.

Depending on the model, our enclosures are suitable for both very low and high ambient temperatures. In addition to the material, seals, surfaces and the installation situation also influence the permissible temperature range.
We would be happy to recommend the right enclosure for your operating conditions.

ROLEC enclosures generally have very high protection ratings. Depending on the series, protection ratings of IP 66, IP 67, IP 68 (1.2 m; 2 h) and IP 69K are available, offering reliable protection against water and dust.

Whether an enclosure is suitable for splash water, temporary submersion or high-pressure or steam jet cleaning depends on the specific protection rating. We would be happy to assist you in selecting the appropriate IP protection class.

ROLEC offers industrial enclosures made from a range of materials to provide the best possible solution for a wide variety of applications.

The materials used include:
• aluminium
• polyester (GRP)
• ASA
• ABS 

Each material has specific properties in terms of strength, corrosion resistance, UV resistance, weight and chemical resistance. Together, we will find the right solution for your application.

Yes. We are happy to provide you with a sample of our products on request.

In addition, we can assist you with the development of prototypes and manufacture these, including machining, labelling or customised features. This allows the fit and function to be reliably tested even before series production begins.
