Heavy-Duty Housings & Cabinets up to 60 Tons
Sensitive machinery, energy storage systems, and industrial electrical panels require more than just sheet metal boxes—they need highly precise, structural environments that provide defense against corrosive weather, massive vibration, and environmental contamination.
Openex Metal Fabrication serves as a premier manufacturer of custom industrial enclosures, machine covers, and electrical cabinets for OEMs. From highly-toleranced battery enclosures for the renewable energy sector to massive 60-ton industrial equipment chassis, we handle the entire fabrication process. With all precision cutting, CNC bending, welding, powder coating, and hardware integration taking place strictly in-house, we secure optimal manufacturability while lowering total unit cost.

- › High-Volume New Energy Battery Racks
- › Heavy Vehicle Structural Fuel Tanks
- › Automotive & Power Generator Chassis
- › Commercial Charging Pile Housings
- › Telecom / Server Racking Frameworks
- › Subsea / Outdoor Weatherproof Covers
Our Turnkey Integration Workflow
Unlike standard laser shops, Openex specializes in complete dimensional housing manufacturing, offering structural repeatability and defect-free finishes ideal for highly automated product lines.
Phase 1:
Processing
Fast-turn 2D flat processing utilized to extract clean structural sections, louvers, panels, and access profiles using our industrial Waterjet, Plasma, and Fiber Laser turrets without thermally bowing the raw steel sheet.
CNC Press Brake Forming Included
Phase 2:
Joint Prep
Welding modular sheets into massive rigid frames utilizing ISO/AWS-certified Spot, MIG, TIG, or fully-programmed robotic weld arms. Critical external corner joints receive secondary abrasive dressing to create an aesthetic, seamless skin integration prior to painting.
Phase 3:
Treatment
Final panels undergo precise multi-axis CNC hole-tapping for door hardware prior to undergoing custom industrial-grade spray coating, hot-dip galvanizing, or specialized powder coating sequences inside our sealed spray bays.
