CASES & ENCLOSURES FEATURE
affecting the correct operation and service life of electrical equipment; and high temperatures that lead to tripping or failing control components are avoidable. Around 80 per cent of control component failures may be addressed with a suitable cooling solution. Rittal marketing director Simon
Kelemen says: “The costs of downtime, loss of production and system shut- down due to equipment running over temperature can easily exceed £10,000 per hour. I don’t know any businesses that would be happy to right that off, particularly as it’s entirely avoidable.”
INSPECTION BY RITTAL EXPERTS For businesses with Rittal enclosure cooling equipment installed the process will involve an engineer conducting the review which will provide: confirmation as to the condition of the devices; an assessment of their cleanliness, function and serviceability; an asset list documenting status of each enclosure; a quotation (if required) based on the most appropriate solution for moving forward; and on-going service suggestions and offers, tailored to the site itself. To book a survey, users can contact the Rittal team via
information@rittal.co.uk or call the company on 01709 704105.

CALCULATE AUTOMATED PRODUCTION OF ENCLOSURE PANEL PARTS
When it comes to processing panels, CNC machining centres, such as Perforex from Rittal Automation Systems, offer an alternative to the manual approach when it comes to productivity and efficiency. The company says machining centres speed up
processing by as much as 66 per cent compared to the traditional hand-tooled method. Now, a new web-based Return on Investment
(ROI) Calculator helps customers accurately gauge how quickly a Perforex will take to pay for itself before they place the order – and they may be pleasantly surprised by what they find. Perforex machining centres from Rittal
Automation Systems are tailored to the challenges of switchgear manufacturing. They are suitable for the automated production of bore holes, cut-outs and threads in mounting plates, enclosure doors and side panels. All the mechanical processing steps in the preparation of enclosures for population – including drilling, thread cutting, and milling of cut-outs – which are so time-consuming, cost-intensive and error prone, can be accomplished in a single work step. Programming a job into the machining centre takes minutes, and is either on the basis of
simple, component-oriented workshop programming, or using imported CAD data from either Rittal’s software system Eplan or DXF imports from any other CAD platforms. Any program setting can be saved for future, identical jobs, speeding up work-flow even more. Furthermore, once done, engineers are free to work on other tasks, maximising team efficiency and business output. Perforex systems are suitable for all materials
typically found in switchgear, including steel, aluminium, copper and plastics. Moreover, an automatic tool changer
allows multiple tasks to be performed in a single operation, without the need for human intervention. The new Rittal online calculator demonstrates
how a Perforex system can deliver a rapid and tangible return on investment even for low production volumes. Customers simply enter the typical
manufacturing quantity, current machining cycle time, and labour rates per hours, and the web-based tool computes the corresponding payback period for a variety of Perforex models.
