Different processes need different enclosures. Some machine cabins are needed for multiple-stage working processes in linear applications, for example, or for rotary applications on rotary tables. Whether square, rectangular or octagonal, narrow and compact or large and expansive – enclosures can be built in custom shapes with the aluminium profiles and screwed connections from item. Line XMS ensures perfect adaptability to the working process. The machine cabins can be divided into several areas with different functions. Special door profiles provide easy access to the individual process sections. The series-standard sealing groove means the interior is kept clean and dust-free.
Easy laying of cables from the outside
item has expanded its portfolio of products for the customised design of machine cabins by adding construction profiles X 8 M45 - XMS. The result is cable conduits accessible from the outside. This means cables can be laid with ease, and integrating operating and control elements is a simple process, too. The profiles can be sealed with suitable Cover Profiles, thereby ensuring the cables are kept safe and protected. Factory equipment engineers can choose from a range of design variants. The profiles with integrated cable conduits come in various sizes and are now available in two variants – one with the open side facing in and the other with the open side facing out. However, they have one thing in common – the sealed, smooth and easy-to-clean surface.
Quickly connecting machinery and integrating operating elements with ease
Thanks to the use of special Fastening Sets, stable intersection points are created in the frame, making switching from a horizontal to a vertical direction, or vice versa, a quick and easy process when laying cables. The intersection points also function as cable feed-throughs, thereby ensuring the straightforward connection of the equipment inside the cabin. Control and operating elements can be attached directly on the outside of the frame and connected with cables. Electrical components from the M45 standard system can also be integrated, thanks to the clip geometry of item profiles. Many switch, display and operating elements from different manufacturers can therefore be used. All components simply clip into place and can be removed and used elsewhere if required. This provides maximum flexibility.
The numerous aluminium profile variants and extensive accessories with their sophisticated look offer factory equipment engineers extensive design freedom and the option to adjust the machine cabin to suit changing requirements at any time. The machine cabin can also be divided into sections to be transported to the customer and then quickly reassembled on site. The result is machine enclosures in many different shapes with a visually appealing design. The following video demonstrates the many benefits of item machine cabins:
