The manufacturing chain

## How it is made, in 7 steps.

The sequence Indian factories follow, from raw material to an approved part ready to ship.

  1. **Nesting & laser cutting**Sheet nested and cut on fibre lasers
  2. **Punching & bending**Louvres and features punched, then CNC press-brake bending
  3. **Welding & grinding**MIG, TIG or spot welding; seams ground
  4. **Pretreatment** Degreasing and phosphate or zirconium pretreatment
  5. **Powder coating** Colour and texture to RAL
  6. **Hardware & gaskets**Inserts, hinges, locks and gaskets fitted
  7. **Inspection** Dimensions, coating thickness, IP check where specified

Sheet-metal enclosures and brackets questions

## Straight answers.

Anything else, ask us directly. A principal replies, not a bot.

[anirudh@sourcesquid.co](mailto:anirudh@sourcesquid.co)

### Can Indian fabricators make IP65 enclosures?

Yes, with the right design, gaskets and welding. Ask for IP test evidence on your actual design.

### Can they fit hardware and components?

Yes. Self-clinching inserts, hinges, locks, gaskets and even wiring can be fitted before shipping.

### Are stainless enclosures available?

Yes. 304 and 316 stainless enclosures are common, often brushed or bead-blasted.
