Specifying electrical enclosures for use in outdoor installations requires consideration of the possible effects of ultraviolet light, which can slowly degrade some materials.
The challenges facing panel builders and machine designers to reduce costs, increase flexibility, and meet user requirements to optimise plant floor space, have seen trends to reduce panel sizes.
Designing intuitive and reliable HMI Systems requires in-depth specialist knowledge about display technology, electromechanical design, ergonomics and relevant industry standards.
Fitting out the interior of an enclosure creates a number of challenges for switch-gear manufacturers. First, there are the high packing densities of the enclosure’s many components and second, there are typically very short project times.
The main advantages of standard enclosures are that there are no up-front non-recurrent design, engineering and tooling charges; products are on the shelf ready for immediate delivery, so the time to market is as low as possible; the unit costs are attractive and the design will have been field proven in many different applications.
