Re: Gary Chang's case design

2002-06-12 by gcmci

For the record, it looks like my case will be anodized grey.  

The case is .090 aluminum (the same gauge as the faceplates of the 
Wiard modules).  The endbells will be cut from the same material and 
welded in place, providing consistent strength and rigidity throughout 
the unit.

Mounting of modules is achieved via Vector TS600 T-slot extrusions and 
square 4-40 nuts that slide in the channel.  These extrusions will be 
welded into the place, recessing the modules slightly into the case.


Two Blacet PSCON boards mount on the surface behind the jackfields, and 
connect to an external power supply via 4 pin xlr connector panel 
mounted on the hidden panel (inside the triangular tunnel on the bottom 
of cabinet).  

Total weight, including modules is expected to be under 20 lbs.
