Product description
CX one-piece console, WxHxD: 1000x970x400 mm, sheet steel
One-piece console design with two front doors and a 3-point locking system simplifies access control and enhances security. This translates to faster maintenance cycles and reduced risk of unauthorized access in busy control rooms, particularly in automotive and packaging lines. IP55 protection and IK10 impact resistance safeguard sensitive electronics from dust, moisture, and accidental impacts, reducing real-world downtime and service costs in harsh production areas. The enclosure uses sheet steel with a textured powder-coated exterior and a foam-sealed structure, delivering durable protection while maintaining compact form factors for space-constrained installations. A dedicated mounting plate (920x900 mm) supports heavy modules, improving rigid mounting and reducing vibration-induced wear in high-cycle applications. Supplied with back and sides, a cam-lock cover, gland plate, and 3 mm double-bit lock, it streamlines assembly and guarantees a reliable seal. The combination of robust materials and precise tolerances ensures consistent performance across temperature swings and frequent door operations in process and automation environments. Overall, CX 6740.000 enables faster project execution, safer maintenance windows, and a clear path to scalable enclosure configurations for growing control architectures.

FAQs
CX 6740.000 installs with the 920x900 mm mounting plate, designed to fit the 1000x970x400 mm enclosure footprint. Align the mounting plate with chassis holes, secure using the provided hardware, and install the back and sides before attaching the enclosure doors. The 3-point locking system and cam locks ensure a secure seal while maintaining serviceability for routine maintenance.
The CX 6740.000 features IP55 protection against dust and water spray, and IK10 impact resistance for structural robustness. These ratings reduce contamination risk and physical damage during servicing, enabling safer, less frequent maintenance in busy facilities and harsh environments such as automotive, packaging, and process industries.
Yes. The combination of a sheet steel enclosure, textured powder coating, and foamed gaskets provides durable protection in demanding environments. The two-door design with a 3-point locking system enables quick yet secure access, which is beneficial for high-traffic control rooms and machine installations where frequent access is required without compromising protection.
CX 6740.000 is designed to meet ISO and industry standards with IP55 and IK10 ratings, supporting reliable operation in dust and impact-prone environments. CE conformity for EU installations ensures safety and interoperability across European markets, while ETIM and ECLASS classifications aid procurement and integration in automated systems.
The robust build with a dedicated mounting plate and accessible two-door design reduces commissioning time and downtime during service. Sealed gaskets and durable sheet steel construction minimize ingress-related wear. Combined with secure locking and streamlined wiring via the gland plate, this enclosure lowers total cost of ownership through fewer field service events and longer component life in automation and process applications.
