FAQs
TP 6712.500 supports a 2-part assembly with a rear-hinged cover and two stays that lock automatically, plus automatic unlocking on the left and manual unlocking on the right. The design includes an opening for running cables into the enclosure base, enabling clean, secure routing and quick service access during maintenance or upgrades.
This TopConsole desk unit is rated IP55 for dust and water protection, IK08 for impact resistance, and conforms to NEMA 12 enclosure standards. These specifications provide reliable protection for control electronics in dusty, wash-down, or splash-prone factory settings, helping maintain uptime and repeatable performance.
Yes. The TP TopConsole system offers multiple widths, including the 1,200 mm wide option described here, enabling modular expansion and consistent aesthetics across different control rooms. This compatibility supports scalable layouts, easier standardization, and reduced engineering time when adding new lines or upgrading existing panels.
Installers should use the enclosed opening for running cables into the enclosure base and plan for the 1.5 mm enclosure shell with a 2.0 mm door/console cover. Plan for the textured powder-coated finish in RAL 7035 to maintain access, insulation, and sealing integrity, reducing ingress risk and simplifying future cable management.
The combination of sheet steel construction, protective powder coating, IP55/NEMA 12 protection, and durable locking mechanisms minimizes corrosion, ingress, and wear over time. This translates to longer service intervals, lower maintenance costs, and dependable performance in demanding automation environments, improving total cost of ownership for machine builders.
