Enclosure Modifications
Gone are the days of enclosures meticulously prepared by hand. Our St. Paul office houses our enclosure modification shop with a CNC machine that can accurately cut, drill and tap multiple materials like steel, stainless steel, aluminum and non-metallics. With this machine, along with modern CAD programming, we are able to perform detailed and accurate panel modifications for either low volume production runs or standardizing multiple panels for an OEM. Visit our Rittal Enclosure Configurator to set up your next enclosure. A Power/mation sales representative will follow up with your submission.
The engineers, drafters and technicians within the Power/mation Solutions Group will work with you to customize enclosures to your exact specifications. Power/mation is also one of the few Rittal Platinum Modification Partners, giving our customers access to competitive pricing and guaranteed stock on a wide variety of enclosures. Additionally, Power/mation grants you access to the RittalXpress program for modifications and painting services on an even larger scale. You can find more information about the RittalXpress program here.

Custom Fencing
Produced in our Pewaukee, Wisconsin location, our machine hard guard fencing is among the industry’s most versatile safety solutions. Custom safety fencing needs to be designed with your exact specifications, measurements and requirements.

Offering both Express and Standard custom fencing systems, our fencing includes anodized aluminum profile posts with floor brackets, ABB Jokab Safety patented mounting hardware, U-profiles and welded mesh or polycarbonate panels.

The Custom Fencing Creation Process
Design
A safety consultation with a Power/mation sales representative will help you determine the best system for your application. Send them a CAD drawing of your facility or conceptualize a design with our Custom Fencing Design Form.
Quote
Using ABB Jokab Safety SafeCAD software, experts from the Power/mation Solutions Group will analyze your layout and design your fencing system, aiming to minimize waste and simplify customer assembly. We will continue to revise the design until you are completely satisfied with it.
Build
Once the design is approved, aluminum extrusions are cut to your system’s design requirements. For easy installation, panels and extrusions are pre-cut and labeled to match assembly drawings. Power/mation has made an extensive investment in people and tooling to offer industry-leading turnaround.
Delivery
The fencing hardware, assembly drawings and safety components needed to assemble your system are safely packed in crates for easy installation. Units are then security shipped with tamper-evident wrap.
