Quick Summary
Rittal AX 6315.450 operating housing provides front-access servicing for industrial control panels. Engineers often struggle with maintenance downtime when access is restricted by door design or front-panel constraints. This enclosure delivers IP55 protection, IK08 impact resistance, and UL 50E Type 1/NEMA 1 compliance, supporting safe, regulatory-aligned installations. With a machined aluminium front panel and natural anodised handle strips, it enables fast retrofits and clean cabling layouts, while CP 60/120/180 support-arm compatibility lowers installation complexity and lifecycle costs.

Product description
AX Operating housing with handle strips, WHD: 500x500x210 mm, sheet steel, aluminium handle strips, servicing access from the front
The AX 6315.450 features front servicing access that reduces maintenance time and increases line uptime, translating to lower production pauses and faster changeovers in control cabinets. The Ø 130 mm support-arm connection supports CP 60/120/180 systems, enabling modular mounting and scalable enclosure configurations for evolving automation needs. Built from sheet steel with an aluminium front panel, it withstands industrial environments while offering easy front-panel machining for custom installations and quick component upgrades. The enclosure provides IP55 protection and IK08 impact resistance, delivering reliable safety and compliance in harsh environments, with a NEMA 1 / UL 50E Type 1 designation for broader North American compatibility. The 500x500x210 mm WHD keeps within compact footprints while integral interior brackets and a cam lock with a 3 mm double-bit insert streamline assembly and service. The enclosure also allows hinge/arm rotation for swapped configurations, supporting flexible installation in space-constrained facilities and helping reduce total cost of ownership.
