Product description
VX Baying enclosure system, WHD: 1000x2000x600 mm, sheet steel, with mounting plate, two doors at the front
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The VX 8006.000 uses a sheet-steel enclosure frame with a 1.5 mm to 3.0 mm range in critical components, delivering a durable, vibration-resistant housing that reduces corrosion risk in harsh environments. This translates to lower maintenance costs and less downtime for automated lines, particularly in packaging and machine-building applications. Application: Ideal for heavy industry panel installations where reliable protection and long service life are required. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The two front doors, hinge on the right with easy left-right swap, and included mounting plate provide flexible access and simplified retrofits, cutting commissioning time and enabling rapid changes in control configurations across evolving projects. Application: Control cabinets in modular systems and test benches benefit from quick reconfiguration and reduced field wiring effort. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Powder-coated exterior with textured paint and zinc-plated gland plates ensure durable surface finish and secure gland sealing, supporting compliance with dust and moisture exposure while maintaining clean interior environments. Application: Enclosures deployed in dusty production lines and wet workshop areas, where hygiene and enclosure integrity are critical. Feature → Business Impact → Application: IP55 and IK10 protection translate into robust ingress protection and impact resistance, improving uptime in environments with splashing liquids, dust, and physical handling. Application: Automotive, robotics, and material handling equipment where enclosure integrity is essential. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The 1000x2000x600 mm footprint (W x H x D) and mounting plate dimensions (899x1896 mm) provide predictable space planning for standard enclosures and make integration with existing rack systems straightforward. Application: Panels and control cabinets in standardized plant layouts requiring repeatable fit. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Included 2 punched rails (18 x 39 mm) and a 3 mm locking mechanism simplify assembly and security, reducing installation time and tightening enclosure integrity. Application: Panel builders seeking efficient, repeatable assembly procedures. Feature → Business Impact → Application: EN/CE compatibility and UL 50E Type 1 alignment ensure regulatory compliance for international deployments, minimizing certification delays and expediting market entry. Application: Global manufacturing sites with cross-border equipment deployment.

FAQs

For compact panel layouts, plan for the 899 mm by 1,896 mm mounting plate area and the 1,000 mm wide enclosure width. Use the included 2 punched rails (18 x 39 mm) to organize wiring and leave breathing room for cable entries through gland plates. The hinged doors can be swapped to left or right orientation to fit existing structures, reducing field modification needs.
VX 8006.000 offers IP55 ingress protection and IK10 impact resistance, supporting durable operation in dusty and busy environments. It is listed for UL 50E Type 1 and NEMA 1 compatibility, with CE marking for European installations. These certifications help ensure regulatory compliance, safety, and predictable performance in multi-region deployments.
Yes. The enclosure ships with a mounting plate, two front doors, rear panel, roof plate, gland plates, and 2 punched rails, all designed to be compatible with Rittal accessory families. This enables straightforward expansion, additional gland and terminal layouts, and easy integration with common V-rail, terminal blocks, and cable management components.
The enclosure combines a durable sheet-steel build with long service life, corrosion resistance from dipcoat primer and powder-coated exterior, and modular access for quick upgrades. These factors reduce maintenance frequency, downtime, and retrofitting costs, while enabling scalable panel architectures that adapt to evolving production requirements.
Ideal for industrial automation and machine building, especially where reliability, rugged protection, and space efficiency matter. Typical applications include control cabinets in robotics, packaging lines, material handling, and automotive equipment, where IP55 protection and robust mechanical durability protect sensitive electronics during harsh manufacturing processes.
