Technical Advantages

Another key concern is durability in the face of mechanical impact, vibration, and thermal expansion. Our enclosures are constructed using high-grade metals such as marine-grade stainless steel or powder-coated aluminum alloys, both known for their ability to withstand high levels of mechanical stress. These materials offer high tensile strength and resistance to fatigue, ensuring that the enclosures can handle significant impacts or sustained vibrations without compromising structural integrity.

In addition, the design includes reinforced corners and edges to prevent deformation and enhance impact resistance. The internal frame structures are specifically engineered to absorb shocks, preventing damage to sensitive equipment. For particularly demanding applications, enclosures can be configured with advanced anti-vibration mounts and shock-absorbing materials, ensuring the contents remain protected even under extreme mechanical conditions.

Aerospace

Provides robust mechanical protection and vibration resistance for avionics, with thermal management to meet extreme operating conditions.

Medical Equipment

Offers EMC protection and anti-corrosion enclosures for sensitive medical electronics in sterilized and regulated environments.

Oil and Gas

Provides high-strength, corrosion-resistant enclosures that comply with ATEX/IECEx standards for explosive atmospheres and extreme climates.

Automotive

This product protects ECUs, sensors, and power electronics from vibration, thermal cycling, and electromagnetic disturbances in automotive systems.

Power Distribution

Delivers heat dissipation and grounding protection for critical components like transformers, circuit breakers, and load centres.

Modularity and Customization for Complex Requirements

In many industrial settings, a one-size-fits-all enclosure simply won’t suffice. Console & Consolet Enclosures are designed with modularity, offering configurable internal spaces and mounting options to accommodate various equipment. Enclosures can be equipped with removable panels, adjustable racking systems, and custom-cut inserts to hold specialized components securely.

Furthermore, specific application requirements such as cable management, power distribution, or fluid containment can be incorporated into the design, allowing for easy customization. For industries with strict space constraints or unique environmental factors, enclosures can be tailored with specific ingress protection ratings, airflow management systems, and custom access ports for wiring and cables.

Having Doubts? Our FAQ

Check all our Frequently Asked Question

How does Frigate ensure thermal management in enclosures for high-power industrial electronics?

Frigate enclosures are designed with high thermal conductivity materials, such as aluminium alloys and copper-based composites, to efficiently transfer heat away from internal components. In addition, custom-designed heat sinks and integrated passive/active cooling systems (like thermoelectric cooling or forced air circulation) are implemented to prevent thermal buildup and ensure consistent operation in power-dense applications.

What materials does Frigate use for corrosion resistance in extreme environments like offshore oil rigs?

Frigate uses corrosion-resistant materials such as marine-grade 316L stainless steel, titanium alloys, and high-grade composites specifically chosen to withstand aggressive environmental conditions, including saltwater, chemicals, and fluctuating temperatures. These materials are often coupled with coatings like epoxy or powder-coating to further extend the enclosures’ service life in harsh environments.

How does Frigate achieve high mechanical strength in enclosures for critical military applications?

Frigate designs enclosures with high-strength alloys, including superalloys and impact-resistant composites, to meet military-grade specifications. These enclosures undergo rigorous testing under MIL-STD-810G standards for shock, vibration, and thermal cycling. Reinforced corner structures and pressure-relief mechanisms are incorporated to protect sensitive electronics in combat or field conditions where mechanical forces are high.

How do Frigate's enclosures maintain precise EMI shielding in data-sensitive systems?

Frigate’s enclosures employ multi-layer EMI shielding, using conductive gaskets made of copper or aluminum alloys and advanced electrostatic dissipative coatings. These materials work together to form a continuous shield, preventing radiated and conducted EMI. This is critical in telecommunications and medical devices, where signal integrity must be maintained even in high-frequency noise.

What design features in Frigate’s enclosures ensure long-term durability in outdoor industrial environments?

Frigate incorporates IP65, IP66, or IP67-rated seals, ensuring the enclosures are fully protected against dust and water ingress. Materials like weather-resistant polycarbonate and anodized aluminum are used for exterior surfaces to withstand UV degradation, extreme temperatures, and humidity. The enclosures are designed for thermal stability, ensuring that internal components remain operational despite fluctuating outdoor conditions.
