Product description
VX Baying enclosure system, WHD: 600x2000x500 mm, sheet steel, with mounting plate, single door at the front
Feature → Business Impact → Application The VX 8605.000 uses a sheet steel enclosure frame with a 1.5 mm body and a 2.0 mm door, delivering mechanical strength and long-term durability in industrial environments. This translates to lower maintenance costs, fewer unscheduled downtime events, and reliable protection of control electronics in harsh plants and switchgear rooms. Application includes machine control cabinets, electrical distribution enclosures, and panel interiors where consistent shielding and robust mounting are required. Feature → Easy interior installation → Practical benefit is faster commissioning and easier cable management, enabled by a 499 mm x 1,896 mm mounting plate and two 18 x 39 mm punched rails. Application: centralized control panels and distributed automation cabinets. Feature → Surface finish and protection → With dipcoat-primed surfaces and powder-coated exterior in RAL 7035, plus zinc-plated gland plates, the enclosure resists corrosion and wear in factory floors and outdoor-adjacent spaces. Application: high-traffic industrial settings where longevity matters. Feature → Flexibility in door mounting → One front door hinged on the right, swap to left, and a single-door design reduces footprint and simplifies maintenance in crowded control rooms. Application: modular automation racks and serviceable enclosures in production lines. Feature → Compliance and safety → IP55, IK10, NEMA 1 and UL 50E Type 1 support regulatory and safety requirements for electrical installations, enabling compliance-driven procurement. Application: systems needing formal certifications for panels and electrical rooms. Feature → Standard accessories and compatibility → Includes mounting plate, gland plates, 2 punched rails, and a 3 mm lock, promoting rapid installation with standard components. Application: scalable enclosure solutions for expanding control architectures. Additional context: PCF 241.5 kg CO2 eq (Cat B) reflects the environmental footprint, guiding sustainability assessments in design reviews and supplier audits.
