FAQs
Yes. The VX 8840.130 is designed around the standard 600x2000x800 footprint, enabling straightforward replacement or integration with existing panels. It ships as a complete frame with glazed front door, rear door, roof plate, and gland plates. Mounting plates are not included, so verify whether you need to source rails or mounting hardware separately to fit your internal components.
Key specifications include an IP55 protection rating, IK08 impact resistance, NEMA 1 and UL 50E Type 1 compliance, and a sheet steel construction (frame 1.5 mm, doors 2.0–3 mm). Dimensions are 600x2000x800 mm, with a 75.4 kg pack weight. EAN is 4028177951396, and the product description notes glazed front and rear doors for versatile access.
Absolutely. The glazed aluminium front door opens up to 180°, providing clear visibility and ample access for wiring, testing, and inspection without removing the door. Combined with a rear sheet steel door that opens to about 130°, you gain flexible service access from multiple angles, which speeds commissioning and ongoing maintenance.
This enclosure excels in industrial automation, process control, and machine-building environments where reliable protection and easy access are essential. It supports control cabinets, robotics panels, and other electrical installations in manufacturing, packaging, and automation lines, especially where front access for inspections and rear access for mounting are advantageous.
The enclosure has a PCF of 185.8 kg CO2 eq (Cat B), reflecting its cradle-to-gate footprint. Maintenance benefits stem from the durable powder-coated finish and a 2.0–3.0 mm door construction, which resists wear in busy production environments. The mix of galvanised gland plates and a robust frame also reduces replacement frequency and supports longer service intervals.
