Large range of standard cabinets is very flexible

Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services
One of the largest ranges of standard suite cabinets, the Sarel Series 6000, is offered by Elen Enclosures. There are 62 basic industrial cabinet sizes ranging from 1200 mm to 2200 mm high, 300 mm to 1600 mm wide and 400 mm to 800 mm deep.
Their modular design allows further expansion and combinations. The cabinets quickly combine into suites and can also be joined back-to-back. They can be supplied with lockable front and rear doors with or without safety glass windows or with fixed rear cover.
The Series 6000 (IP55-rated; IK-10) 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, busbar 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 monoblock. 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) are provided with joint-less, injected type foam gaskets.

Clearing the Static: Electrostatic Discharge

A cordless ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) wrist strap does not work by grounding the person in the same way as a traditional wired wrist strap. Instead, it works by reducing or balancing the static charge on your body so that you are less likely to discharge electricity into sensitive electronic components.
