RITTAL BASES NEW ENCLOSURE MANUFACTURING CENTRE ON INDUSTRY 4.0 PRINCIPLES
A state-of-the-art centre for manufacturing large enclosures is currently under construction at Rittal’s Rittershausen plant, based on Industry 4.0 principles. The company is also installing new high- tech production lines for its new VX25 large enclosure, at a total cost of €120m. The company is gearing
up its production to Industry 4.0 through consistent digitization of processes and fully automated profiling, welding and panel manufacturing units, making the new centre a model for all Rittal production plants worldwide. Carsten Röttchen, managing director International Production at Rittal,
commented: “Our goal is to establish the world’s most modern centre for manufacturing large enclosures. To this end, we have started the transformation into the age of Industry 4.0. We are setting the next standard in the Rittal production system for our worldwide plants – based on the ‘one Rittal, one standard’ principle.” He added: “With the increasing digitization called for by Industry 4.0,
we will be automating further sub-processes, increasing data consistency and integrating the production process into a completely digitized value chain through a manufacturing execution system.” In contrast to the new Haiger plant, which is being built on a greenfield
site and will be ready to start production at the end of 2018, the conversion towards digitized and automated processes at Rittershausen is taking place during ongoing operations. When completed in 2020, the new production facility will have three
profiling systems, each 70m in length. This means that the horizontal and vertical frame sections of the new VX25 large enclosure system, which have perfect symmetry and a consistent 25mm pitch pattern, will be manufactured in one process. The volume production lines also have fully automatic welding systems.
Thirty-one robots (for welding and handling) deployed in the fully automatic volume welding system will ensure that the transport and welding processes run reliably within the plant. They will also guarantee the quality of the new Rittal VX25 large enclosure system. “The development of the new VX25 production lines was only the first
step on the way to the digital future of the Rittal production facilities. The global transformation of Rittal’s production towards Industry 4.0 is already going flat out,” Röttchen explained. The transformation has already begun in the Valeggio plant in Italy.
The first Industry 4.0 principles are being applied there for manufacturing Rittal Blue e+ cooling units. Rittal is also planning to expand and reorganise the Chinese and US sites, focusing on digital transformation, and preparing them for the future.

Rapid Prototyping
igus has announced that five of its iglidur high-performance polymers now officially comply with the fire safety requirements of the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for aircraft interiors. The plain bearing materials iglidur G V0, iglidur X, iglidur A350, iglidur H and iglidur J350 have been positively tested by an independent test institute in accordance with the fire test FAR CS 25.853 App F, Part 1a 1 (ii). The five plain bearing materials are also rated V0 according to UL94,
making them the optimal solution for moving applications in aircraft, for example in fold-out tables, adjustable seats and also in hinges of doors and luggage compartments. According to the company, when compared to metallic alternatives,
igus iglidur bearings are up to seven times lighter, they are also cheaper and corrosion-free.
