Rittal announces the new RiPanel online enclosure configurator – making it easy for machine and control system design engineers to individually configure industrial enclosures.This saves time, helps to prevent errors, increases flexibility with data saving or exporting, and speeds up processes through integrated interfaces. OEMs, machine builders, and control manufacturers need to customize complex products such as enclosure systems for applications. So, machine and control system design engineers need configurators for individual enclosures that make the process easy.

With Rittal’s new powerful RiPanel online enclosure configurator , enclosure systems can now be more easily planned in 3D and configured individually. So, it is now easier to customize enclosures by adding needed accessories or machining requirements.Machine and control system design engineers now have access to the powerful Rittal RiPanel online configuration tool at their fingertips – the operation is simple – with appropriate accessories, plausibility checks to prevent errors, 3D visualization, libraries with predefined drilling patterns and a direct connection to EPLAN Pro Panel. In addition, engineers can now import and place individual cut-outs on the enclosure, so their customized requirements are easily implemented. RiPanel also provides maximum transparency and consistency throughout the entire engineering and manufacturing processes.

Specific benefits of RiPanel include:

Saves time due to simple configuration process
No more errors when selecting accessories or machining options
Ability to export the configuration’s technical data as CAD and assembly instructions
Faster processes through integrated interfaces to EPLAN and Rittal software

Put to the Ultimate Test – Part 1: Torsion Tests by HELUKABEL

DCS Put to the Ultimate Test Part 1 Torsion Tests by HELUKABEL 1 400x275

Cables and wires in industrial robots and other moving machine parts are often required to withstand extreme stresses caused by torsion. Constant repetitive movements put materials under considerable strain. At the same time, operators expect components to function perfectly and reliably throughout their entire service life to avoid disruptions, outages and safety hazards.

For this reason, at HELUKABEL, we simulate intensive and continuous torsion stresses under realistic conditions with our high-tech testing equipment in Windsbach. We have several types of apparatus for doing this because some of our customers, for example those in the automotive industry, have very precise specifications for how a torsion test is carried out. The tests show that our cables and wires withstand speeds up to 1,000°/s, accelerations up to 2,000°/s² and torsion angles up to 720°. Hence, we make sure that each product always meets our customers’ high standards, and that they receive the impeccable quality they rightly expect from us as a leading supplier of cables, wires and accessories for more than 40 years.
