Collection: LX Range
LX Range flight cases are a smart addition to the already extensive range of specifications to choose from. Thanks to their smart visual appearance they are ideal for presentation cases.
LX Range flight cases are manufactured from anodised aluminium profiles that create the majority of the case carcass, together with 5mm lid and base panels, ensuring weight is kept to a minimum. The LX range is particularly suited to small briefcases and attache style cases, especially for sales presentations and display flight cases. Combined with a bespoke Foam Insert you have a smart flight case inside and out, ideal for many applications and industry sectors.
With a different approach to flight case manufacture and construction, LX Range features five aluminium extrusions of varying height. These anodised aluminium profiles are not only lightweight but offer rigidity on small to medium sized flight cases. All five profiles can of course be mixed, giving a much larger number of combinations of case height.
The LX Range features a different manufacturing process to traditional flight cases. After the case dimensions have been produced by the quotations and design team, production includes accurately cutting the two selected profiles using one of the extrusion saws in the Cutting Shop.
The profiles are joined to each other by means of rigid ABS corner nodes. Pneumatic crimping machinery specially designed for the LX Range of profiles and ABS corner nodes is installed and has been upgraded by 5 Star’s engineering department to semi-automatic operation. This function crimps two profiles (Length and Width) to a corner node by crimping the internal face of the aluminium profile. Although these crimps are extremely neat being internal, they are usually covered by foam lining or other materials.
