What is a CNC LED cabinet? Types and sizes

A CNC LED cabinet is the display body that carries the LED modules, receiving card and power supplies, cut to size by CNC or laser. Cabinet size is a multiple of the module size: with 320 × 160 mm NXTIONSTAR modules, bodies grow in 32 cm and 16 cm steps. ARLEDSCREEN chooses cabinet type and size on survey based on the screen surface, indoor or outdoor use and service side; cabinet pricing is on quote.

LED cabinet types by material

Steel (cold-rolled sheet) cabinet: CNC or laser cut, bent and oven-painted. Low cost but heavier; common in fixed installations and P2.5–P10 screens. Aluminium cabinet: machined from sheet or profile; lighter than steel, rust-free, with fan-door versions for outdoor use. Die-cast aluminium and magnesium-alloy cabinets: cast in a mould and finished by CNC; tight tolerances and gap-free joins. Preferred for indoor fine-pitch screens and rental systems.

Standard LED cabinet sizes

For steel CNC cabinets the most common body on the market is 96 × 96 cm, holding 18 modules of 32 × 16 cm in a 3 × 6 layout. Small screens and signs use 64 × 48 cm (6 modules), 64 × 64 cm and 96 × 48 cm; strip-type screens use long bodies 16 cm high. The series runs in 32 × 16 cm steps up to 256 × 128 cm. Die-cast sizes are given in millimetres: 640 × 480, 640 × 640 and 320 × 480 mm for indoor fine pitch; 500 × 500 and 500 × 1000 mm for rental and stage systems; 960 × 960 mm outdoors. Portrait cabinets such as 64 × 192 cm for poster LED screens are a separate group.

Indoor vs outdoor cabinets

Indoor cabinets are thinner and mostly front-serviced: modules are held by magnets and removed with a vacuum tool, so the screen can sit flush on a wall. Outdoor cabinets are gasketed, covered and ventilated against rain and dust; rear service is common, and fan cooling is planned on sunlit façades. Double-sided cabinets are built for poles and corners seen from two directions.

How to choose a cabinet

First set the total screen size and pixel pitch, then pick the cabinet size that divides that surface with the fewest filler parts. Service side (front or rear), space in front of the wall, steel structure load, fixed or rental use and single or double face settle the choice. ARLEDSCREEN makes this choice on survey; cabinet, modules, control system and installation are in one quote.

LED cabinet price

Cabinet price depends on material, size, quantity, service side and details such as gaskets and paint. We do not publish list prices for cabinets; pricing is on quote. LED panel prices are published on our LED display price page.

What is the most common LED cabinet size?

For steel CNC cabinets, 96 × 96 cm is the most common body and holds 18 modules of 32 × 16 cm. For indoor fine pitch, 640 × 480 mm die-cast cabinets are common; rental systems use 500 × 500 and 500 × 1000 mm.

Steel or aluminium cabinet?

Steel is more economical but heavier and is fine for fixed installations. Aluminium and die-cast cabinets are lighter, rust-resistant and more precise; they suit fine pitch, rental and weight-sensitive façades.
