Product description
VX Modular enclosure, WHdepth 400x2200x600 mm, sheet steel
Feature → Business Impact → Application: VX 9680.426 uses sheet steel 1.5 mm construction for a robust, rigid enclosure that withstands industrial environments, reducing risk of deformation and downtime. This translates to lower maintenance costs and longer cabinet life, especially in high-vibration or dusty environments common in manufacturing plants. Application: control panels for process automation and electrical infrastructure where durability matters. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The enclosure frame, rear panel, and gland plates are included, enabling rapid start-up and predictable layouts, which shortens project timelines and minimizes field errors. Application: turnkey installations in automation cabinets and machine control rooms. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Dimensional footprint of 400 mm width, 2,200 mm height, and 600 mm depth provides modular versatility for bayed systems, allowing scalable growth without redesign. Application: modular production lines requiring phased capacity expansion. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Protection up to IP54 (depending on panels) and IEC 61439-1/2 test alignment deliver regulatory confidence and safer operation, aiding compliance audits and reducing field failure risk. Application: environments with dust and incidental moisture exposure. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Surface treatment—dip coat primed frame and powder-coated exterior with textured finish—improves corrosion resistance and aesthetic durability, lowering repainting costs and downtime. Application: long-term installations in outdoor or semi-enclosed facilities. Feature → Business Impact → Application: PCF value 106.4 kg CO2 eq (Cat B) per pack enables informed sustainability planning and lifecycle assessments. Application: ESG reporting and green-build initiatives. This approach reflects industry-wide preference for modular, standards-aligned enclosures that balance performance, cost, and environmental impact.
