Window for Front-Panel?

Jul 05, 2004 0 Replies

Hi Experts,



I am asking from Germany and English is not my native tongue. So please be lenient toward me, if some of my expressions make you laughing. Furthermore I hope I've taken the right news-group as my problem is not very "scientific". If you have a better suggestion, please e-mail me, but I cannot access to all international NGs.



I am searching for a special part, I cannot purchase locally, so I hope to find a supplier internationally.



I need a window in a front panel of a stainless steel 19 inch rack. plate thickness = approx. 0.1 inch, glass thickness approx. = 0.2 inch The window size will be approx. 5 inch x 4 inch and should be made of a plastic material like Polycarbonate or Polyacrylate (Plexi).



Usually people purchase such a kind of a rack directly from the rack supplier, with a cut-out, painted afterwards and a window fixed from the rear side, using glue or specially welded screws.



In our case we are making individual boxes, and we don't know where to place the cut-out beforehand, so we have to cut out ourselves later on, and by the way spoiling the paint.



We are now (desperately) searching for a supplier for a plastic window with a kind of a mounting frame, with the capabilities



- to fix itself to the front panel



- and cover the cutting edges, prepared for mounting in 19 inch rack front panels.



If someone on the board knows any supplier please e-mail me the web-site of the supplier.



Many thanks in advance



Best regards



Klaus Kaltenmaier
