Product description
VX SE free-standing enclosure system, WHD: 1000x1800x400 mm, sheet steel, with mounting plate, two doors at the front
Two front doors, a detachable rear panel, and a solid mounting plate enable easier cable routing, faster wiring, and flexible retrofitting in demanding environments. This feature reduces commissioning time and minimizes access-related downtime for machine builders deploying control panels in tight spaces. The design supports scalable configurations while maintaining robust protection, which translates to lower lifecycle costs and smoother expansion of automation capabilities in production lines. The large 1000 mm width improves stage layout for power distribution and controller clustering, enabling more efficient space utilization in compact control rooms and on crowded shop floors.

FAQs
To install, mount the 899x1696 mm mounting plate inside the 1000x1800x400 mm enclosure, align with the two front doors, and secure with the included rear panel. Use the two punched rails (18x39 mm) to mount components and adapt with VX25 accessories as needed. Swapping door orientation is supported to fit your layout.
The enclosure uses sheet steel construction with varied thicknesses: 1.5 mm for the enclosure and rear panel, 2.0 mm for the door, and 3.0 mm for the mounting plate. It delivers IP55 protection, NEMA 12 compatibility, and IK10 impact resistance, with a powder-coated exterior and zinc-plated gland plates for long-term durability.
Yes. With IP55 dust and water ingress protection, NEMA 12 robustness, and IK10 impact resistance, the SE 5840.600 is well-suited for manufacturing floors, automotive lines, and other demanding settings where reliable environmental protection and durable construction are required.
The enclosure meets IEC protections (IP55) and NEMA 12 requirements, supports UL Type 1 interior applications, and offers IK10 impact resistance. The combination supports compliant panel builds for industrial automation and ensures safer, standardized installations across diverse facilities.
The rugged sheet-steel construction and powder-coated finish minimize corrosion and wear, reducing maintenance costs. VX SE compatibility and VX25 accessory support simplify future upgrades, decreasing downtime during expansions and retrofits, which translates to lower total cost of ownership and faster ROI for panel builders and system integrators.
