# Custom Kiosk Enclosures

https://kdisplay.com/products/retail-displays/kiosk-enclosures

K-Display, a Chicago sheet metal fabricator, builds welded cabinets, bezels, mounting plates, and service doors for kiosk integrators from screen and peripheral drawings. The parts ship bare or powder coated, with hinges and latches installed and graphics applied.

## Overview
K-Display builds the cabinet that presents a screen and its devices to the public: a welded body and base, a bezel with an opening for each device, mounting plates inside, and service doors behind. The metal is carbon steel, stainless steel, or aluminum, supplied bare or powder coated, with hinges and latches installed and graphics silk-screened or applied to the face. The cabinet holds the screen, payment device, printer, and cabling of self-order, self-checkout, and check-in kiosks. Cabinets that carry stock in trays and dispensing modules are vending enclosures.

## Process
- Cut the bezel and plates: We laser cut the bezel openings, mounting plates, and vent slots in the flat blank, then form the bezel and the body.
- Weld the body, press in hardware: We weld the body and base and press self-clinching nuts and studs into the plates and doors.
- Mask, coat, fit, and mark: We mask the hardware threads and powder coat the cabinet, or leave the metal bare, then fit the hinges and latches and silk-screen or apply the graphics to the finished face.

## Typical parts
- Cabinet bodies and bases: Formed and welded housings and bases sized to the kiosk footprint and its mounting.
- Bezels and device panels: Laser-cut openings for the screen, scanner, printer, and payment device.
- Internal mounting parts: Plates, trays, and brackets that hold the electronics and peripherals, with self-clinching hardware pressed in for their fasteners.
- Service doors and covers: Side and rear doors and covers that open onto the printer, paper roll, and cable runs.

## Design considerations
- Device cutouts and rear space: A device seats through a cutout sized to its bezel lip and clamps at the rear, so the front opening and the plate behind it have to be placed together. A cutout sized to the visible face alone leaves a device that will not seat.
- Public approach: The accessibility standard you name (ADA, for example) gives reach ranges for device height and setback from the front edge. A payment device set too high or too deep falls outside them.
- Vents and cable paths: The screen and its computer give off heat that has to leave the cabinet, and their cables have to pass through it. Vent slots and cable passages share the panels that carry the devices, so a plate that blocks a vent traps the heat behind the screen.
- Graphics against the openings: Graphics sit on the finished face and are located from the device openings. A bezel edge, hinge, or latch that lands on the artwork covers it.
