Quick Summary
Rittal VX 9680.208 Bays are modular enclosure systems designed for scalable electrical infrastructure in industrial automation. Engineers often struggle with fitting robust enclosures into tight spaces while preserving protection and serviceability; this VX 9680.208 design addresses that by offering a 1.5 mm sheet steel frame with a durable, textured exterior. The system is CE-marked and tested to IEC 61439-1/2, providing reliable performance in harsh environments, with IP protection up to IP54 depending on the chosen panels. By combining a powder-coated outer surface, zinc-plated gland plates, and a consistent color standard (RAL 7035), it supports faster commissioning and long-term maintenance efficiency, while aligning with broader enclosure-and-infrastructure strategies for modern factories.

Feature → Business Impact → Application: The VX 9680.208 uses sheet steel, 1.5 mm construction for a rigid, durable cabinet that withstands industrial vibrations and daily wear, reducing downtime from component misalignment and door sag. This translates to lower maintenance costs and higher uptime for production lines in process automation and machine control cabinets. Application: Use in manufacturing floors where reliability and long service life are essential, such as packaging, robotics, and PLC-driven systems. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The enclosure frame, rear panel, and gland plates are supplied together, ensuring a complete, plug-and-play installation that shortens project timelines and minimizes on-site errors. Application: Quick rack mounting and clean cable management for new builds or retrofits. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Surface finish combines dipcoat-primed frame and rear panel with powder-coated exterior and textured paint, delivering corrosion resistance and an aesthetically consistent appearance across a facility. Application: Environments with exposure to dust, moisture, and frequent washdowns. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Dimensions of width 1,200 mm, height 2,000 mm, depth 800 mm offer substantial internal space for control hardware while preserving a compact footprint. Application: Ideal for mid-to-large-sized control cabinets and assembly lines. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Protection up to IP54 (depending on panels) and IEC 61439-1/2 testing provide regulatory compliance and safety assurance. Application: Suitable for CE-compliant, certified installations in European automation projects. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Gland plates zinc-plated and overall RAL 7035 color support standardized, scalable configurations that reduce change orders and improve maintenance planning. Application: Integrations with modular gland routing and future-proof expansion in industrial enclosures.
