Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the minimum order quantity for custom sheet metal products?
-
The minimum order quantity depends on the part design, material, and production setup. AKST confirms the applicable quantity in the quotation after reviewing the project requirements.
2. How are custom products packaged and shipped?
-
Packaging and shipping arrangements are confirmed for each order based on product dimensions, surface-protection requirements, destination, and delivery terms. Specify any export-packing or handling requirements before order confirmation.
3. Can AKST supply complete wired electrical cabinets?
-
AKST manufactures metal enclosures, cabinets, chassis, and mechanical assemblies. If internal electrical components, wiring, or commissioning are required, list them separately so the supply scope can be confirmed before quotation.
4. Can an outdoor enclosure be specified for a required IP rating?
-
Include the target IP rating and applicable standard in the inquiry. Door seals, ventilation openings, cable entries, and other penetrations affect the completed enclosure's protection level; testing and supporting documentation must be confirmed for the specific design.
