Product description
VX Baying enclosure system, WHD: 600x2000x600 mm, sheet steel, without mounting plate, glazed door at the front
VX Baying design maximizes cabinet density while preserving interior access, enabling compact layouts in automated lines. The 600x2000x600 mm footprint helps you scale control panels without sacrificing serviceability, ideal for machine builders and OEMs deploying modular automation. Glazed front door and rear door swing open to 180° and 130°, respectively, improving visibility and serviceability while reducing maintenance time and wiring verification effort. The 1.5 mm frame and roof, 2.0 mm rear panel, and 3 mm glass provide robust physical protection; a corrosion-resistant dipcoat primed and powder-coated exterior extends life in challenging environments. Protection ratings IP55 and IK08, together with UL 50E Type 1 and NEMA 1, simplify cross-border compliance for global projects. Weight, packaging, and PCF values (71 kg per pack; 174.9 kg CO2 eq) reflect a balance of durability and sustainability. The included gland plates and roof plate streamline cable routing and mounting, while the absence of a mounting plate lets you pair with existing installations or external mounting solutions.
