Product description
VX Baying enclosure system, WHD: 600x2000x400 mm, sheet steel, with mounting plate, single door at the front
Feature: Heavy-gauge sheet steel construction provides enduring rigidity and effective EMI shielding for control panels in harsh industrial settings. Business impact: stronger protection reduces cabinet deformation, minimizes downtime, and extends service life, lowering maintenance costs. Application: ideal for machine builders and automated production lines where stable enclosure integrity is essential for reliable operation and safe wiring access. Feature: Dipcoat-primed frame with powder-coated exterior and zinc-plated gland plates offers durable finishes and corrosion resistance. Business impact: longer exterior life, lower repaint frequency, and improved ingress protection. Application: outdoor or damp environments, chemical exposure, and wash-down facilities where cosmetics and protection matter for long-term reliability. Feature: Ready interior installation with mounting plate (499 x 1,896 mm) and 2 punched rails (18 x 39 mm) plus a right-hinged door that can be swapped to the left. Business impact: simplifies wiring layouts, speeds commissioning, and enables flexible configuration as panel requirements evolve. Application: compact machine controls, PLC cabinets, and automation panels where DIN-rail components are common. Feature: IP55 protection, IK10 impact resistance, UL 50E Type 1, and NEMA 1 compatibility provide broad regulatory coverage. Business impact: reduces need for supplementary enclosures and accelerates compliance audits. Application: global manufacturing environments, single-source builds, and projects with strict environmental and safety standards. Feature: Comprehensive supply includes enclosure frame, door, roof plate, rear panel, gland plates, mounting plate, two punched rails, and a locking mechanism; weight per pack 95.4 kg. Business impact: streamlined procurement and on-site handling; PCF 235 kg CO2 eq (Cat B) supports sustainability goals. Application: rapid deployment across large-scale installations and repeatable panel builds.
