Product description
VX Glazed door, for WH: 600x2200 mm
Glazed viewing door with 3 mm safety glass: improves operator visibility and reduces inspection time, enabling faster fault detection and safer maintenance in busy production lines. Business impact: higher first-time fix rates and lower downtime, especially in dense cabinet rows or high-traffic areas. Application: control cabinets and VX enclosures where visibility matters. Extruded aluminium frame with powder-coated finish in RAL 7035: delivers durable corrosion resistance and a consistent aesthetic across facilities. Impact on efficiency: reduced maintenance costs and longer service intervals, with a consistent look across plant floors. Viewing window mask in inside printed finish (RAL 9005): minimizes glare and simplifies status checks, supporting quick status assessment in dim environments. Locking rod with double-bit insert and 180° hinges (4): enhances ease of operation and secure closure, reducing door-wrench incidents and ensuring enclosure integrity under vibration. Compatibility and installation: designed for VX frames with a width of 600 mm and height of 2,200 mm; lock components for frame 8618.110 are required when mounting instead of the rear panel, simplifying retrofits and replacements. IP 55 and IK08 ratings: provide dust and moisture protection plus impact resistance, enabling use in demanding manufacturing settings while complying with UL Type 1 requirements. Packaged as 1 piece per pack (weight 15.4 kg): streamlines stocking, handling, and on-site installation in lean bi-modal maintenance environments.

FAQs
The VX 8618.040 glazed door is designed to fit VX enclosure frames sized 600 mm wide by 2,200 mm high and ships with 180° hinges and a locking rod with double-bit insert. When mounting in place of a rear panel, lock components for frame 8618.110 are required. This facilitates retrofits and ensures secure, code-compliant installation in existing VX systems.
The door is IP 55 protected, IK08 impact resistant, and UL Type 1 compliant. These certifications guarantee protection against dust and moisture, withstands impact in busy environments, and meets essential electrical safety standards for industrial enclosures.
The door features an extruded aluminium frame with a powder-coated finish in RAL 7035 and a viewing window made from 3 mm safety glass with an inside printed mask in RAL 9005. This combination delivers long-term corrosion resistance, consistent color, and reduced glare in operator lines of sight.
Key considerations include confirming the enclosure width and height, using the provided 180° hinges (4) for full door opening, and ensuring the appropriate lock components are used if mounting replaces a rear panel (frame 8618.110). This ensures reliable operation and proper alignment with standard VX frames.
The glazed door improves visibility, enabling quicker fault diagnosis and safer manual inspections. Its IP 55 protection and IK08 durability reduce exposure to dust and impacts, while UL Type 1 compatibility supports industry electrical compliance. Together, these features translate to lower maintenance costs, fewer downtime events, and faster service cycles in production lines.
