Custom OEM supply to your drawings
REALJET provides custom sheet metal chassis assemblies to your drawings for OEM and contract manufacturing orders. We review component datums, connector access and removable covers before confirming the custom manufacturing scope. The manufacturing definition starts with the part's function, its installation space and the components it connects to. We review the requested geometry and delivery condition against those interfaces before defining the supply scope.
For this application, the drawing review focuses on component datums, connector access and removable covers. Measure the finished chassis against the equipment mounting layout. A photograph provides a configuration example; your approved documentation defines the material, dimensions, performance requirements and acceptance criteria for the ordered component.
Application fit
Component datums, connector access and removable covers are reviewed against the equipment arrangement.
Material selection
Review specified sheet metal and mounting hardware against the design, process route and required delivery condition.
Acceptance focus
Measure the finished chassis against the equipment mounting layout.
Project specification and quotation inputs
| Item | Information to confirm |
|---|---|
| Component / service | Custom Sheet Metal Chassis Assemblies |
| Material options | Specified sheet metal and mounting hardware |
| Geometry and interfaces | Component datums, connector access and removable covers |
| Production scope | Equipment chassis fabrication with agreed secondary operations |
| Inspection focus | Mounting planes, hole-to-bend relationships and cover fit |
| Quantity | Prototype, pilot batch or repeat order quantity for review |
| Supply condition | Loose component, part set or assembly as specified |
| Delivery | Schedule, destination and packing confirmed with the quotation |
Working size, thickness, tolerances and lead time depend on the approved design, material, quantity and inspection scope. Identify critical features and the applicable measurement conditions on the drawing so the quotation can confirm a practical acceptance basis.
What is sheet metal fabrication for this application?
Chassis fabrication turns a flat pattern into a support shell for internal components. The formed geometry must coordinate openings, fasteners and mounting planes across several faces, so an accurate flat blank is only one stage of the work.
For this product, the process is applied to locate electronic or mechanical equipment within a formed support shell. The particular review priorities are component datums, connector access and removable covers; those details connect the manufacturing steps to the equipment's assembly requirements.
REALJET manufacturing advantages for this application
Review before release
The drawing revision, component function and mating interfaces establish a shared manufacturing reference before production begins.
Process matched to the part
Reference features are considered in the assembled state, with space for connectors, fasteners and access to equipment during installation.
Clear acceptance points
Inspection scope focuses on mounting planes, hole-to-bend relationships and cover fit, together with the critical characteristics identified by the buyer.
Controlled repeat supply
Approved samples, material choices and drawing changes are recorded against the part number so subsequent orders can refer to the same release condition.
Fabrication technology and production sequence
- Review internal component layout and mounting datums.
- Cut the flat pattern and prepare edges.
- Form flanges in an accessible sequence.
- Join supports and install specified inserts.
- Check chassis geometry and mating interfaces.
The final route is selected during technical review. Additional operations, purchased fittings and testing are included only where agreed in the order scope. Send component locations and the required internal envelope in addition to overall outside dimensions.
Materials, finish and delivered condition
Material selection for custom sheet metal chassis assemblies can include specified sheet metal and mounting hardware. The choice must reflect the actual application, rather than relying on the appearance or colour of the example image.
Review coating, plating or a bare-metal finish against the specified material and environment. Identify appearance zones, threads, grounding contacts and fitted surfaces before defining masking and finishing requirements.
Inspection and quality documentation
Measure the finished chassis against the equipment mounting layout. The inspection plan should address mounting planes, hole-to-bend relationships and cover fit, with critical dimensions and test methods identified before production release.
Agree whether the order requires material identification records, dimensional reports, sample approval or additional tests. Any specified certification, qualification or compliance evidence is reviewed for the actual supply scope before order acceptance. Packaging should protect finished surfaces and the geometric features used to install the part.

Questions about custom sheet metal chassis assemblies
What should I show on the drawing?
Identify component datums, connector access and removable covers, together with the part number, revision and mating references. Provide a dimensioned PDF and available STEP, DXF or DWG files as appropriate to the component. Send component locations and the required internal envelope in addition to overall outside dimensions.
Which material and finish should I request?
Start with specified sheet metal and mounting hardware. Describe the operating environment and identify any functional or visible surfaces. The material, manufacturing route and finish are reviewed together before the quotation is finalized.
What needs particular attention on this project?
Measure the finished chassis against the equipment mounting layout. State the acceptance method for any critical characteristic, and confirm whether the order includes only the component or additional hardware and assembly operations.
Can I order an initial sample before repeat production?
A prototype or pilot batch can be reviewed against the design and requested quantity. Agree sample acceptance, any required test evidence and the revision to be used for the subsequent order. Lead time is confirmed after the scope and material availability are checked.
