Product description
CX console system, desk unit, W: 600 mm
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The desk unit’s sheet steel construction ( enclosure 1.5 mm, console lid 2.0 mm ) delivers exceptional rigidity and long-term durability in harsh factory settings, reducing maintenance intervals and downtime while ensuring consistent panel integrity. This supports production lines requiring reliable operator interfaces and secure access in environments with dust, humidity, and mechanical exposure. Application: compact control desks in sheet-metal enclosures across packaging lines and material handling systems. Feature → Business Impact → Application: A 600 mm width supports two- or three-piece CX console assembly, enabling flexible workstation layouts that optimise space and improve operator ergonomics. This translates into faster wiring, simplified future upgrades, and improved throughput in control rooms and switchgear cabinets. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Integrated opening for running cables into the enclosure base streamlines wiring and reduces installation time, cutting on-site labour costs and the risk of cable damage during assembly. Application: panel mounting in automated lines and process control stations. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Two cam locks with 3 mm double-bit inserts enhance security and control over access, reducing risk of tampering and accidental changes to critical parameter settings. Application: secured engineering workstations and field-installation points. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Finish and protection with dipcoat priming and powder coating provides UV and corrosion resistance, extending service life in outdoor or semi-exposed indoor locations. Application: outdoor enclosures, exterior wall-mounted desks, and rugged manufacturing environments. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Acknowledging that a cover plate is required to seal the desk unit ensures a proper seal and IP protection consistency, avoiding ingress paths and supporting preventive maintenance. Application: system installations where enclosure integrity and dust/moisture exclusion are essential. Overall, the CX 6710.000 integrates compatibility with the CX console family, enabling plug‑and‑play expansion and scalable control-room solutions.
