Panel Fabrication
Custom control panels for one-off and short-run builds
Catalog enclosures don't always match the footprint, the process or the component list a plant runs on. WESA designs and builds the panel to the requirements you already have.
Designed around your constraints
Some machines have an odd footprint, tight cabinet space or a fixed mounting pattern. Others arrive with the components already specified, down to a particular PLC brand, a drive family and the device tags maintenance already knows. WESA designs the layout around those constraints and part numbers, on a single panel or a short production run.
A project can start from a rough sketch, a photo of the equipment or a full set of prints. Our engineers work from any of the three and send back a panel layout and a component list. When a design repeats, the build is documented so later panels match the first.
How a custom build comes together
What to expect between your requirements and a panel ready to install.
- Requirements first
- We confirm the footprint, environment, voltage and component list before any layout work starts.
- Layout for service
- Component spacing accounts for heat load and for access, so wiring, inspection and later maintenance are straightforward.
- Your component standards
- Panels are built around the PLC, drive and device brands already on your shelf.
- Repeatable for OEMs
- Recurring and short-run designs are documented, and repeat orders are built from that same documentation.
- Machined in-house
- Enclosure cutouts and modifications are done on our own floor, which keeps custom work off an outside shop's schedule.
- Labeled and listed
- Builds meet UL 508A or UL 698A, with the label applied in-house when the application calls for it.
