Elen Enclosures offer what is probably the largest range of standard suite cabinets in the world - the SAREL Series 6000. There are 62 basic sizes ranging from 1,2 m to 2,2 m high, 300 mm to 1,6 m wide and 400 mm to 800 mm deep industrial cabinets. The modular design of the range allows further expansion of possible sizes and combinations. The cabinets can be quickly and easily combined into suites and can also be joined 'back-to-back'. The cabinets can be supplied with lockable front and rear doors with or without safety glass windows or with fixed rear cover.
The Series 6000 is supported with an extensive range of accessories such as fixed and swing type 19" rack frames (full or partial), distribution board conversion kits, fixed and telescopic shelves, control desk and keyboard attachments, compartments and partial doors, bus bar chambers and systems, steel, perforated or DIN-rail chassis systems, etc.
The extendable construction comprises four uprights (highly rigid triangular profiles) linked to welded top and bottom frames. Both the uprights and frames are perforated on a 25 mm pitch for fixing of accessories and cabinet joining brackets. Standard cladding comprises 1,5 mm thick steel doors with reinforcing frames and/or 1,5 mm thick rear cover. Versions with 2 mm thick doors are available. Plinths are either modular or monobloc. Cable gland plates are available either full or 2- and 3-part, ie, for applications where back-to-back chassis are used within one cabinet - typically in PLC/DCS systems where the control is installed in front of the cabinet and marshalling at the rear.
Locking systems, hinges and side/rear cover fittings are all outside the protected area further eliminating the risk of ingress of dust and liquids into the cabinets. Cladding (doors, side, rear and top covers) is provided with jointless, injected type foam gaskets. Rating: IP 55 (low pressure hose water-proof and dust-proof); IK-10.
