Product description
VX SE Free-standing enclosure system, WHD: 800x1800x400 mm, Sheet steel, with mounting plate, single door at the front
VX SE Free-standing enclosure system, WHD 800x1800x400 mm, sheet steel construction with mounting plate, and a single front door provide a compact, modular footprint that simplifies multi-cabinet layouts and baying. The robust shell translates to measurable downtime reductions and faster commissioning in manufacturing lines, process control, and packaging environments. Material composition includes enclosure and door sheet steel at 1.5–2.0 mm thickness with a 3.0 mm mounting plate, finished with powder coating for durability in demanding atmospheres, reducing corrosion-related maintenance costs over the life of the cabinet. Inclusion of a detachable rear panel, right-hand door (swappable to left), and gland plates enhances serviceability and wiring clarity during upgrades or reconfigurations without sacrificing protection. VX25 baying compatibility, two punched rails (18 x 39 mm), and a solid top and base provide a scalable framework for growing control architectures while keeping cable management orderly and accessible. Weight per pack is 125 kg with a cradle-to-gate PCF of 476.3 kg CO2 eq (Category B), reflecting a balanced approach to performance and sustainability. These features collectively support safer installations, easier retrofits, and predictable maintenance cycles.

FAQs
SE 5831.680 is designed for seamless VX SE baying integration. It ships with a mounting plate and two punched rails, supporting easy alignment with VX25 enclosures. The door orientation is flexible (hinged on the right and swappable to the left), which simplifies matching existing layouts and reduces wiring rearrangements during system expansion.
To maintain IP66/NEMA 4 integrity, use the provided gland plates and rear panel, seal all joints, and follow proper cable entry practices. The enclosure features a powder-coated exterior and dipcoat-primed surfaces for durability, while the solid top and sides minimize gaps. Regular gasket inspection and correct mounting ensure long-term ingress protection even in washdown or outdoor conditions.
Yes. The door is hinged on the right by default but can be swapped to the left during installation. This flexibility improves fit in tight spaces and aligns with existing cabinet configurations. Ensure to relocate the latch mechanism accordingly and verify clearances around the mounting plate and rails for smooth operation.
The enclosure uses sheet steel as the basic material, with front and rear panels in 1.5–2.0 mm and a 3.0 mm mounting plate. It offers IP66 protection, NEMA 4 rating, IK10 impact resistance, and UL 50E Type 1 type rating. Weight per pack is 125 kg, and it includes a detachable rear panel, two punched rails, and a keyed lock for secure access.
Modular VX25 compatibility and an integrated mounting plate reduce installation time and wiring complexity, accelerating project delivery. The sturdy powder-coated sheet steel resists corrosion, lowering maintenance needs, while the ability to reconfigure with minimal tools shortens downtime during upgrades. The enclosure’s durability and scalable mounting options contribute to lower lifecycle costs and improved system reliability.
