Distinctive Instrument Enclosures
High in quality and distinction, moderate in cost - Trimline instrument cases, with their extraordinary strength, beauty and utility, are designed to meet the engineering and marketing design requirements for electronic products packaging for free standing or rack mounted instrumentation or systems.

TIC cases are trimmed front and rear with anodized, extruded aluminum and decorative vinyl inlays. Lightweight strength and rigidity is achieved through the use of multiple offset and angle forming of 20 gauge C/R steel interlocked and welded to the 4-16 gauge channel corner post sections used for reinforcement and equipment mounting accommodations. Provisions for equipemnt mounting permit the ready use of the following accessories: tilt-stand, front and rear panels, slides, rack adapters, chassis and shelf support angles, and access doors with or without locks. Ventilation provisions and other modifications are readily available at nominal cost.

The large variety of sizes, the adaptability for equipment mounting requirements, the variety of finishes and the ready availability at modest costs make the Trimline Series of cases an ideal choice for electronic product packaging.

Modifications
Requirements for special ventilation, screening, cutouts, access openings, etc. should be submitted for quotation.

Special Sizes
A special design size (15 5/8 inch panel width) has been incorporated into the Trimline instrument case line which makes the entire case easily adaptable into standard 19 inch rack widths. The overall case height conforms to standard panel heights, requiring no fillers to adjacent panels above or below the Trimline Case. This design size is especially desirable for bench or desk instrumentation that may be rack mounted without requiring a different size enclosure for each usage.

Chassis/Shelf Support Angles

Adjustable, formed 16 gauge steel angles mount to side brackets of TIC series cases for supporting shelves or chassis. Finished in light gray. Packaged in pairs.
