I would like to fine an alarm box like that.

What should I include in my VFD enclosure?

This is the final panel configuration:
The enclosure was bent out of drops of 3003 aluminum. The front panel is 0.064" thick and I used rivet nuts to hold the front panel to the body. I had the main body bent by a sheet metal shop and they punched the louvers. I think my next project will be to make a louver punch and die. There are plans all over the web and I have a little 16 ton press that should work for the thin, soft stuff I would want to louver. The panel next to the e-stop is for the machine light. I put the light in the cavity that used to house the original internal electric motor. I can try to scan and upload the circuit diagram if there is any interest. Geoff Morgan
