And he also mentions something that had previously always been a challenge with compact enclosures. “We had problems all the time with the interior installation because there were never enough opportunities for mounting the depth stays.” That has now changed. “The AX offers a lot more flexibility in terms of interior installation,” Mr. Lauer stressed. Since the rails can be flexibly installed at a variety of heights, the levels can also be designed more flexibly. And less time is needed, because the interior installation rails can be attached without any mechanical work being needed on the enclosure. They are simply pushed onto the locators that are embossed in the enclosure and then securely clamped. Due to the defined pitch pattern with which the interior installation rails are mounted, the extensive range of system accessories can be used to expand it flexibly. The Production Manager can also see some major advantages in the new handle system. With the AX compact enclosure, the handles can be mounted on site on the customer’s premises without any need for tools. He is visibly content: “For us, putting on and taking off the door handles was always a lot of work.” Installing the cam locks (they are enclosed, loose) for the AX is done in a few easy steps. Mr. Lauer sees some additional advantages when it comes to potential equalisation. Because here, too, a smaller number of steps is necessary: “We always had to attach metal clips to the gland plate for potential equalisation. Now the screws are simply screwed into the material. In addition, special holes in the gland plate ensure automatic potential equalisation when they are screwed together. This is safer, easier and it saves both time and material,” Mr. Lauer adds. “And this way we can’t forget anything!”
