Solutions · Machine enclosures

Custom industrial machine enclosures

We design, manufacture and assemble enclosures tailored to the characteristics of each machine or installation, designed from the outset for manufacturing, assembly, maintenance and final integration.

Types of enclosure

Acoustic, perimeter and full enclosures

Acoustic sheet-metal enclosure for a machine tool
  • Noise
  • Safety

Acoustic enclosures

They reduce machine noise and protect the operator. Acoustically insulated panels, doors and access hatches designed for daily maintenance.

Perimeter enclosure with walkway and handrail
  • Access
  • Protection

Perimeter enclosures

They define and protect the working area of the machine or cell, with safe access, visibility and service routing solved.

Full sheet-metal enclosure for a gantry milling machine
  • Product image
  • Plug and play

Full enclosures

They wrap the whole machine: product image, protection and maintenance access in a single sheet-metal assembly, ready to install.

An enclosure is designed before it is drawn.

We analyse how the machine works, is assembled, maintained and used before defining the enclosure. We deliver fully assembled and equipped subassemblies, with wiring, lighting and components integrated, to reduce later operations and make final assembly easier.

  • Manufactured
  • Pre-assembled
  • Documented

Why Kalman

Five keys in every enclosure

  1. 01

    Custom design

    Every enclosure starts from the real machine, its use and its assembly constraints.

  2. 02

    In-house manufacturing

    Cutting, bending, welding (MIG-MAG, TIG and handheld laser), painting and finishing coordinated in our Elgoibar workshop.

  3. 03

    Specialised assembly

    We pre-assemble and verify before delivery to save hours at your plant.

  4. 04

    Accessible maintenance

    Doors, hatches and removable panels where the technician needs them.

  5. 05

    Guaranteed integration

    The enclosure arrives ready to integrate into your product, with no improvisation.

3D design

Every enclosure is designed and broken down in 3D

Before a single sheet is cut, the whole assembly exists in 3D: parts, joints, access points and assembly sequence. That way we catch problems on screen, not in your workshop.

Case study 02

When an enclosure became part of the brand

We replaced an aluminium-profile guard with a fully plug-and-play sheet-metal enclosure.

  • A stronger product image
  • Simpler assembly
  • Lower operating costs

Frequently asked questions

What customers usually ask us about enclosures

What do you need to quote an enclosure?

A drawing, a 3D model or a sketch with the machine’s dimensions and intended use. If there isn’t one, our engineering office will define it with you.

Can you replace aluminium-profile guarding with a sheet-metal enclosure?

Yes. We analyse how the machine works, is assembled and maintained, and design a sheet-metal enclosure that installs plug and play.

Do you deliver the enclosure pre-assembled?

Yes. We assemble and verify the solution before delivery to reduce assembly time at your facilities.

Do you integrate wiring, lighting or other components?

Yes. We deliver fully assembled and equipped subassemblies to reduce later operations at your plant.

Do you work with your own designs or the customer’s?

Both. We manufacture from your drawings or develop the complete design in our engineering office.

Need an enclosure for your next machine?

Tell us what you need and your constraints. We assess manufacturing and assembly feasibility before making you a proposal.
