Product description
VX Glazed door, for WH: 600x2000 mm
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The extruded aluminium frame provides corrosion resistance while remaining lightweight, which speeds up on-site installation and reduces handling risk during VX cabinet assembly. This translates into lower labor costs and shorter project timelines. Application: ideal for VX enclosures in manufacturing, packaging, and process industries where frequent reconfiguration is common. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The 3 mm safety glass viewing pane affords clear visibility into internal components without fully opening the door, reducing dust intrusion and safeguarding operators. This improves monitoring efficiency and environmental containment. Application: routine status checks, line changeovers, and fault diagnosis in control panels and distributed automation cabinets. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The powder-coated surface finish in RAL 7035 with printed mask in RAL 9005 delivers durable appearance and wear resistance, supporting fleet-wide standardization. It minimizes repaint cycles and maintenance tasks across sites. Application: multi-site deployments where consistent aesthetics and protective coatings are part of the specification. Feature → Business Impact → Application: IP 55 protection and IK08 ratings protect against dust ingress and impacts, preserving internal components and extending service intervals. This minimizes downtime due to environmental exposure. Application: harsh factory floors, outdoor installations, and areas with high particulate exposure or potential incidental impacts. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The included locking rod with double-bit insert and 180° hinges enable secure, quick access even in restricted spaces, reducing maintenance bottlenecks. Application: installations with limited opening clearance or frequent access requirements, such as electrical rooms and automation panels in tight plant layouts.
