Product description
AX Operating housing with handle strips, WHD: 600x600x210 mm, sheet steel, aluminium handle strips, servicing access from the front
Front servicing access is designed to minimize downtime by enabling maintenance without opening the entire cabinet. The front-access architecture preserves enclosure integrity while simplifying wiring and module changes, improving overall maintenance efficiency on automation lines. Compatible with CP 60/120/180 support arms and a Ø130 mm connection, AX 6315.650 integrates smoothly into existing control architectures, reducing retrofit effort. This compatibility supports modular automation layouts in production environments, accelerating system upgrades and reducing downtime. The enclosure uses sheet steel with an aluminium front panel and natural anodised handle strips, delivering rugged durability and corrosion resistance in harsh industrial environments. All-round PU sealing enhances dust and moisture resistance, improving long-term reliability and reducing warranty costs. The 600x600x210 mm footprint, plus a machinable 3 mm aluminium front panel, enables custom instrument cutouts without compromising protection class, delivering tailored I/O access in tight spaces. Dimensions are optimized for compact installations while preserving servicing convenience. Security and installation are simplified by a cam lock with a 3 mm double-bit insert and an integral interior installation bracket with system punchings, enabling faster assembly. The enclosure design allows rotating the enclosure to swap the support arm connection or door hinge, delivering installation flexibility and reducing spare-parts inventory for configurable lines.

FAQs
AX 6315.650 features a Ø130 mm support arm connection and reinforcement for CP 60/120/180 arms, enabling straightforward integration into existing control architectures. The front-access design and included interior mounting brackets simplify alignment, while the cam lock provides secure closure. This reduces retrofit effort and minimizes commissioning time on new or upgraded machines.
The enclosure provides IP55 protection and NEMA 1 compatibility, ensuring protection against dust and incidental moisture in typical shop-floor environments. IK08 impact resistance adds robustness against mechanical shocks. UL 50E Type 1 compliance confirms suitability for general-duty electrical enclosures, supporting reliable operation in automated systems and cabinet installations.
Yes. With IP55 protection, IK08 impact resistance, and a sheet-steel body, the AX 6315.650 is well-suited for automated manufacturing, process control, and switchgear housing in moderately harsh environments. The reinforced front panel and PU seal help prevent ingress during routine exposure to dust and vibrations typical of industrial floors.
The AX 6315.650 aligns with UL Type 1 and NEMA 1 configurations for general enclosure applications, and it carries IK08 impact protection. It is commonly used in regions requiring CE-marked or UL-listed components within control cabinets; confirm local requirements with your compliance team and ensure downstream components meet the same standards.
The front-access design reduces servicing time and simplifies modular upgrades, lowering downtime and labor costs. The machinable 3 mm aluminium front panel supports rapid customization for new instrument mounts, while interior punchings and a secure cam lock streamline ongoing maintenance. Overall, these features contribute to lower total cost of ownership over the system lifecycle.
