We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Control Cabinet",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Servos drive carbon-fibre construction from
Festo, which we summarised at the time by saying "Machine based entirely on Festo electrical drives and controls has a three-dimensional operating envelope and is capable of laying carbon fibre tow very flexibly, at up to 8m/s".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Gland handles large cables from
Lapp: "The Skintop MS-SC-M Brush is designed for use with copper braid screen cable with external diameters of between 11 and 45mm".
In August 2007, we covered the news from Rockwell Automation
- take a look at Motor controllers cut installation costs
which says: "Users of Rockwell Automation's new ArmorStart distributed motor controllers benefit from lower installation costs, reduced engineering times and ease of maintenance".
Take a look also at the news release from Phoenix Contact, Enclosure offers IP67 protection,
as well as Ethernet switches offer high port density from Siemens Automation and Drives,
and Signal conditioning modules reduce signal wiring from Wago Corp.
