Cases & enclosures
Demands are growing in the world of panel building and switchgear engineering. Short lead times, cost pressures, high quality requirements and continuous production processes are all called for. The end-to-end digitisation and automation of value chains are the keys to success.
Terminal machining centre and the new RiPanel Processing Center production control system. Rittal and Eplan have set themselves the

goal of aiding control and switchgear manufacturers at every single step of their value-added process. With the new Perforex MT and the RiPanel Processing Center, Rittal is taking its clients on another important step towards enclosure construction 4.0.
The nexT level for greaTer efficiency anD preciSion In continuing its development of the Perforex, Rittal has incorporated the practical experience gained through exchanges with customers. This has led to numerous technical improvements that will help customers in their day-to-day work. There is also an operating concept that is
o meet these challenges Rittal has developed its latest solutions in the form of the Perforex MT Milling
tailored to perfect interaction with the software solutions from Eplan and Rittal. One example is the integrated swarf
suction extraction feature directly on the spindle, which, together with a new floor seal, reduces the effort needed for cleaning. In addition, new workpieces can now be retrofitted much more quickly. The new automatic tool measurement feature checks the length of the current tool and automatically transfers the parameters to the machine controls. It also detects any tool breaks, which results in fewer outages and an overall higher level of productivity. The patented pressure plate reduces
vibrations, leading to a longer tool life, higher cutting speeds and better cut edges. New light barriers and light curtains ensure safety. The use of the new generation of
Perforex MT machines greatly improves efficiency in the workshop by as much as 85 per cent compared to manual machining.
from engineering To a machine orDer aT The Touch of a buTTon One vital lever for increasing efficiency is to integrate the machines into the digitised processes. The new RiPanel Processing Center optimises the interface, from engineering to machine controllers. Design data from Eplan Pro Panel and information such as quantity and the target date are transferred directly and converted into machine jobs. The integrated order management
tool helps improve interaction between several machines. These latest solutions for control and
switchgear manufacturers from Rittal and Eplan provides customers the opportunity to cut lead times, error rates and costs, while making their workshop processes fit for the future.

More consistent processes with Rittal’s new Perforex MT
VX25. SYSTEM PERFECTION.
There are always two versions of this enclosure - real and digital. The maximum data quality of the VX25 ensures greater flexibility for configuration, manufacturing and assembly. And with the “digital twin”, the person who knows your company best – you yourself – can plan, order, process and do much more besides.
