BUILT FOR INDUSTRIAL EQUIPMENT
The Enclosure Is Part of the Machine.
An enclosure isn't simply a metal box around industrial equipment.
It has to work with the machine's footprint, access points, service requirements, operating environment, and manufacturing process.
Machine Enclosures
Custom metal housings fabricated around the dimensions and configuration of industrial machinery.
Equipment Housings
Protective structures designed around equipment components, controls, electronics, and mechanical systems.
Machine Guards & Covers
Fabricated guards, covers, doors, and panels designed around access and protection requirements.
Structural Frames & Bases
Heavy-duty welded frames and bases supporting machinery, equipment, and enclosure assemblies.
Access Panels & Doors
Custom fabricated access components designed for service, maintenance, inspection, and equipment integration.
Large Welded Assemblies
Large-format structures where dimensions, weight, handling, finishing, and repeatability matter.
03
One Facility. One Manufacturing Partner. One Finished Enclosure.
Sintel integrates engineering, fabrication, finishing, and assembly into a single manufacturing environment.
01
Design for Manufacturing
Sintel works with OEM teams to identify manufacturing considerations early, before fabrication issues become production problems.
02
Structural Fabrication
Tube frames, structural weldments, supports, and large assemblies are fabricated in-house.
03
Sheet Metal & Forming
Laser cutting, forming, and fit-up are integrated into the enclosure manufacturing process.
04
Welding
Robotic, cobot, and manual welding capabilities support both repeat production and complex assemblies.
05
Finishing
Powder coating and liquid paint capabilities allow large assemblies to remain within the Sintel manufacturing flow.
06
Assembly
Finished components and supporting hardware can be assembled before shipment, reducing downstream work.
One connected process. Fewer handoffs. More control over the finished enclosure.

A successful industrial enclosure program has to work beyond the CAD screen.
Sintel brings manufacturing considerations into the design and production process early.
Design It for the Machine. Manufacture It for the Real World.
Designed Around Your Equipment
Enclosure dimensions, openings, mounting points, doors, panels, and structural elements can be developed around the machine configuration.
Design for Manufacturing
DFM helps identify opportunities to reduce fabrication complexity, improve repeatability, and make the enclosure easier to produce at volume.
Design for Assembly
Components can be designed with welding, fit-up, hardware installation, and final assembly in mind.
Service & Access Considerations
Doors, panels, openings, and access points can be incorporated around maintenance and service requirements.
Large-Format Manufacturing
Sintel's facilities and equipment are designed to handle large and heavy fabricated assemblies.
Repeatable Production
The goal isn't simply to manufacture the first enclosure. It's to create a process that can consistently reproduce it as your equipment program grows.

THE PROBLEM
Your Equipment Is Custom. Your Manufacturing Process Shouldn't Be Chaotic.
Industrial equipment manufacturers often need enclosures that are unique to their machines.
The challenge begins when the manufacturing process becomes fragmented.
Frame From One Vendor. Sheet Metal From Another.
Structural fabrication, forming, welding, finishing, and assembly can end up spread across multiple suppliers.
Every handoff adds coordination and transportation.
The Enclosure Doesn't Fit the Manufacturing Process
A design may work in CAD but create unnecessary complexity during cutting, forming, welding, finishing, or assembly.
That can mean longer production cycles and more rework.
Large Equipment Creates Large-Format Challenges
Oversized machine enclosures require the right facility, material handling, welding, finishing, and shipping capabilities.
Not every fabricator is built for the job.
Volume Changes the Equation
A machine enclosure that works for a prototype may not be the right design or process for 100, 500, or 1,000 units.
The manufacturing process needs to scale with the product.
