Abstract
A self-aligning system for joining electronic cabinets to ensure alignment and prevent rotation and deformation is disclosed. Paired aligners, each comprising complementary alignment tabs and alignment notches, are brought together such that angled portions of the alignment tabs guide the opposing aligner into position, ensure proper alignment of the electronic cabinet structure, and prevent rotation of the aligners and structures as the aligners are brought together.
