Carbon steel construction with a 14 gauge wall thickness delivers a rugged enclosure capable of withstanding industrial abuse. This translates to longer service life and lower replacement costs for automation panels in factory floors. Applications include machine control panels, operator interfaces, and remote mounting locations where reliable protection is essential. Oil-resistant gasket and NEMA 12 rating provide dependable environmental protection. The gasket maintains a seal against oils and grime, while NEMA 12 guards against dust and non-hazardous liquids, enabling compliant operation in production lines. Hinged removable cover and recessed pull ring simplify maintenance; technicians can access wiring quickly without tools, reducing downtime during upgrades and repairs. Surface mounting with external feet and a medium single door design support flexible installations in tight spaces, improving mounting stability and installation speed in retrofits. Removable cover, plated screws, and standard ANSI 61 gray finish offer practical serviceability and consistent appearance across installations, reducing variance in multi-site deployments.
