Product description
VX Baying enclosure system, WHD: 600x1600x500 mm, sheet steel, with mounting plate, single door at the front
VX 8665.000 enclosure combines a 600x1600x500 mm WHD footprint with a sheet steel construction to deliver a robust housing for electrical controls. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The enclosure frame with 1.5 mm sheet steel plus a 2.0 mm door provides durable protection against dust and minor impacts, improving uptime and component integrity in manufacturing lines. This directly translates to fewer field failures and lower maintenance costs for automated cells and compressor controls; ideal for machine builders integrating control cabinets in assembly lines. Feature → Integrated mounting plate 499x1496 mm and two punched rails 18x39 mm streamline component placement, reducing installation time and enabling precise alignment of drives, relays, and terminal blocks in panel interiors. Feature → Left-right door configurability plus a right-hinged default enhances access ergonomics on crowded machines and retrofit projects, minimizing rework and enabling flexible layouts in retrofits or OEM builds. Feature → Surface finish consisting of dipcoat-primed frame with textured powder coating on exterior, plus zinc-plated gland plates, yields reliable corrosion resistance in production environments and heat exchange areas. Feature → IP55 and IK10 protection align with safety and environmental requirements, supporting UL 50E Type 1 and NEMA 1 compliance, so you can pass audits while maintaining enclosure integrity during washdowns and frequent cable entries. Feature → Weight 81.9 kg per pack and a single-door configuration balance structural security with serviceability, allowing manual maintenance and component swaps without disassembly of the entire system in high-volume lines. These attributes collectively support industrial environments like food and beverage packaging, packaging machinery, and process controls where consistent enclosure performance reduces total cost of ownership.

FAQs
For installation, note the enclosure measures 600x1600x500 mm with a mounting plate of 499x1496 mm and two punched rails 18x39 mm. The door is hinged on the right but can be swapped to the left, enabling flexible layout in tight spaces. Weight per pack is 81.9 kg, so plan appropriate lifting equipment or pallets. The kit includes all essential components—door, roof plate, rear panel, gland plates, mounting plate, and rails—allowing a straightforward setup in new builds or retrofits without sourcing separate parts.
This enclosure offers IP55 protection and IK10 impact resistance, along with NEMA 1 and UL 50E Type 1 ratings. The combination supports CE conformity and provides suitability for many industrial environments, including dry, dusty, and wash-down capable settings. These certifications help you meet regulatory requirements and pass customer and internal audits when delivering control panels and electrical housings.
Yes. The supply includes a mounting plate (499 x 1,496 mm) and gland plates (1.5 mm steel), plus two punched rails (18 x 39 mm). The 3 mm thick mounting plate provides solid support for relays, drives, and terminal blocks, while the zinc-plated gland plates ease cable entry. Door orientation can be adjusted to optimize access, which is particularly valuable for retrofit projects and space-constrained panel layouts.
Interior optimization comes from the dedicated mounting plate and rails that organize modules in a defined footprint, reducing cabling complexity and improving airflow. The 1.5–3.0 mm steel construction supports dense layouts, and the 600x1600x500 WHD provides predictable space for mounting drives, PLCs, and terminal blocks. The combination of powder-coated exterior and dip-coated frame offers durable, low-maintenance interiors suited for high-volume manufacturing environments.
The VX 8665.000 uses durable sheet steel with textured powder coating and zinc-plated gland plates, minimizing corrosion-related maintenance. Its IP55/IK10 protection reduces risk of dust ingress and impact damage, lowering downtime. A single, right-handed door (left-handed option) lowers service time for routine inspections. Overall, the enclosure supports lower total cost of ownership through longer service life, fewer refurbishments, and easier retrofit compatibility.
