Product description
VX Baying enclosure system, WHD: 1200x2000x600 mm, stainless steel, 1.4301, with mounting plate, two doors at the front
Material and finish are designed for longevity in tough environments; the enclosure uses stainless steel 1.4301 with exterior brushed components, delivering corrosion resistance and a professional appearance, reducing replacement cycles and downtime. The WHD 1200x2000x600 mm form factor, with mounting plate and two front doors, provides a flexible interior layout and faster cabinet builds, lowering installation time and labor costs. IP 55 protection and IK10 impact resistance offer reliable dust- and moisture-proofing plus rugged mechanical protection for sensitive drives and controllers, aiding regulatory compliance and safer operations. Supplied with an interior mounting plate, door arrangement (hinge on the right, reversible), gland plates, and punched rails, it streamlines installation and wiring, resulting in fewer field modifications. The note on using metal multi-tooth screws 2486.400 reflects real-world assembly constraints and helps ensure secure internals even in tough environments. Weight and PCF metrics inform logistics planning and environmental benchmarking, supporting sustainable procurement decisions. The enclosure is compatible with standard enclosure accessories and mounting rails, enabling scalable, future-proof control architectures. In practice, engineers appreciate the predictability of build times and consistent performance across multiple installations.
