Product description
IW Industrial Workstation, enclosure WHD: 600x900x600 mm, with worktop, keyboard drawer, designer door at the front, rear door
The enclosure’s integrated worktop, keyboard drawer, and designer front door create an ergonomic workstation. This setup streamlines operator workflows, reduces movement between devices, and improves data entry accuracy during HMI sessions. It is particularly well-suited for manufacturing cells with routine operator input and frequent routine maintenance. IP54 protection provides dust and splash resistance for electronics inside workshop environments. The result is reduced downtime and longer service life for critical control components, even in environments with cleaning routines or incidental water exposure. This makes it ideal for machine bays, packaging lines, and assembly areas where reliability is paramount. The enclosure uses sheet steel for the main body and a worktop of chipboard with plastic-laminated edging, delivering durability with easy cleaning and resistance to routine wear. The finish is dipcoat-primed and powder-coated on the outside with textured paint, balancing ruggedness with an attractive, maintenance-friendly appearance. This combination suits harsh factory floors and long-term installation readiness. Dimensions of 600 mm width and 1,000 mm height (645 mm depth) with a worktop option of 610 mm width by 1,043 mm height by 645 mm depth support predictable layout planning and compatibility with VX SE family components. The modular design simplifies upgrades and retrofits, reducing commissioning time and enabling smoother expansion as automation needs evolve. Supplied with three-piece gland plates, levelling feet, and full enclosure access including worktop and doors, installation is faster and less disruptive. With a weight of 74 kg per pack and PCF of 281.9 kg CO2 eq (Cat B), the solution offers a structured, sustainability-conscious approach to enclosure projects while maintaining solid on-site performance.

FAQs

Plan for a 600 mm wide enclosure footprint with a 645 mm depth and consider the worktop option of 610x645 mm for proper ergonomics. Ensure access to three-piece gland plates and levelling feet during base mounting, and verify the 74 kg per pack weight for lift planning. Consider VX SE compatibility for future expansions.
IP54 protection guards against dust ingress and splash exposure, making the enclosure suitable for most workshop floors and machine bays where occasional cleaning or liquid splashes may occur. This reduces maintenance downtime and protects sensitive electronics, enabling longer intervals between service events.
The IW 6900.740 is designed to integrate with VX SE industrial workstation families and common control cabinet components. Its 600 mm width and 645 mm depth align with typical enclosure footprints used in automated lines, while the integrated worktop and access doors facilitate straightforward installation of HMI/PLC modules.
Durable sheet steel construction with powder-coated exterior reduces repainting and corrosion risk in harsh environments, lowering maintenance costs. The integrated features shorten commissioning time, improving time-to-automation and potentially lowering labor costs during upgrades, while IP54 protection reduces unplanned downtime due to ingress.
