Feature → Business Impact → Application: The Type 1 enclosure provides robust dust and dirt protection for indoor control panels, reducing component wear and unplanned downtime in manufacturing lines. This translates to lower maintenance costs and improved line availability, especially in open-floor areas where particulate exposure is common. Application-wise, it’s ideal for machine control cabinets and panel boards in food packaging, plastics, and packaging lines where clean indoor environments dominate. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Carbon steel construction with 16-ga wall thickness and ANSI 61 gray painted finish delivers a durable shell that withstands routine handling and impact events on the factory floor. The result is lower replacement cycles and more predictable lifecycle costs, supporting total cost of ownership planning for automation projects. Use it in environments where standard corrosion resistance and a clean aesthetic are valued, such as assembly benches and service kiosks. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Hinged cover, thru holes, and wall-mount capability enable fast access for wiring, diagnostics, and component replacement. This reduces installation and service time, accelerating changeovers and maintenance windows. Suitable for wall-mounted control panels in compact spaces where accessibility and neat cable routing are essential. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Small single-door design with a practical 8 in height, 6 in width, and 4 in depth footprint optimizes space in crowded control rooms and near conveyors. Its compact form supports modular factory layouts and quick reconfiguration of automation zones, especially in retrofit projects. Feature → Business Impact → Application: UL 50, CSA C22.2, and NEMA 1 certification provide regulatory and safety assurance for indoor installations. Compliance reduces project risk and simplifies procurement for systems integrating with standardized automation components, panels, and switchgear, fostering faster procurement cycles and consistent safety practices. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Finish, color, and mounting compatibility with common accessories enable straightforward integration with existing enclosures and wiring ducts. This minimizes customization, reduces lead times, and supports scalable automation architectures across multiple line cells.

FAQs
The 864-1 is designed for wall mounting with thru holes for flexible anchoring and a hinged cover for easy access. Its compact 8 x 6 x 4 inch footprint fits tight spaces, making it suitable for front-access panels on machines and control cabinets. This configuration supports quick wiring, straightforward maintenance, and scalable layouts across production lines.
The enclosure carries UL 50, CSA C22.2 certification, and a NEMA 1 rating, confirming suitability for indoor, dust-prone environments. These certifications help ensure electrical safety, reliability, and regulatory compliance for control panels in factory settings, reducing risk during audits and inspections.
Yes. With a NEMA 1 rating, UL 50 and CSA C22.2 certifications, the enclosure provides adequate dust and particulate protection for indoor control panels in many manufacturing environments. For harsher environments, consider additional sealing or higher IP-rated enclosures to maintain long-term reliability.
The 864-1’s dimensions and wall-mount design support typical control panels and common accessories used in light to medium-duty automation. Its hinged door and thru-hole mounting simplify wiring, cable routing, and component upgrades, allowing engineers to reuse existing interfaces and reduce retrofit time.
The enclosure minimizes downtime through faster maintenance and wiring access, lowers lifecycle costs via durable carbon steel construction, and accelerates installation with a compact footprint. Combined with standard certifications, it reduces regulatory risk and procurement complexity, delivering measurable savings across project timelines and operating margins.
