Benefits of Modular Enclosure Systems
Modular enclosure systems are designed to protect electrical and electronic equipment in local area networking, telecommunications, and industrial applications. They are designed to bear the advanced loads and harsh environments of industrial applications, while making the enclosures easier to use and faster to populate. Find out if a modular cabinet from American Products is right for you and your business.
Benefits of Modular Enclosure Systems
Maximize your usable space with a modular enclosure system. It will leave more room for your electronics while using the same outdoor footprint as traditional cabinets. In fact, our freestanding modular enclosure systems offer many additional benefits when compared with traditional cabinets:
Infinite Configurations
Modular frames come with pre-manufactured holes that are spaced at standardized units of measurement. This means that your most common accessories can be added to the interior of a modular frame without drilling or welding. Furthermore, multiple modular frames can be joined together to create infinite configurations.
Flexibility in Assembly
The ability to rearrange your cabinet and its equipment as needed provides long-term benefits. With a modular system, the designer, integrator, and end user has the freedom to make assemblies as basic or complex as they wish. Additionally, a modular enclosure frame will accommodate more door options for easier access.
Faster, Safer Mounting and Installation
The modular enclosure design allows for the addition of rails, making it possible to slide panels into and out of the front, side, or rear enclosure openings. This saves time and increases safety when compared to the unibody technique of laying the enclosure on its back and lifting the panel with a crane or forklift. Plus, the construction of a modular enclosure allows for a greater opening and thus a larger mounting panel for easier mounting. Finally, it is faster to load electronics in a modular frame, saving you time and money.
Built to Last
Yes, enclosure walls for modular systems are thinner than traditional unibody enclosures. But this does not mean that the cabinet loses any of its strength or protective qualities. The load being exerted on a modular enclosure is transferred from its walls to its vertical frame, so you do not lose as much weight functionality as you might think.
Plus, modular cabinets can be designed and built to demanding NEMA standards, just like traditional enclosures. If installed properly, you should not lose any protection ratings with a modular enclosure.
