Product description
AX Operating housing with handle strips, WHD: 380x300x210 mm, sheet steel, aluminium handle strips, servicing access from the front
Front servicing access reduces maintenance time and minimizes production interruptions, enabling faster wiring checks and routine servicing in tight spaces while maintaining enclosure integrity. The 130 mm support arm connection is designed for CP 60/120/180 systems, simplifying retrofits and future scalability without replacing the enclosure. A robust sheet steel enclosure paired with an easily machinable aluminium front panel enables rapid field modifications and panel customization for specific daughter cards or sensors, lowering changeover costs and accelerating time-to-value on upgrade projects. The combination of PU-sealed door gaskets and IP55/NEMA 1 protection provides dependable dust and water ingress protection in harsher environments, ensuring equipment longevity. An integral interior installation bracket with system punchings and a cam lock with a 3 mm double-bit insert streamlines assembly, wiring, and service access, helping technicians complete installations on time with fewer tools. The overall design supports CP mounting panels and ensures consistent fitment with matching components like mounting panel 5051.370, reducing the risk of misalignment or rework. This enclosure is well-suited for industrial automation cabinets, control panels, and machine builders seeking a durable, adaptable housing that minimizes downtime and supports certified installation practices.
