We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Control Cabinets",
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 Compact DC drive saves cabinet space from
Parker Hannifin - SSD, which we summarised at the time by saying "Cooling fans are only switched on when required and are constantly monitored for rotation, which eliminates unexpected machine downtime when the drive gets too hot".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Colour scheme draws attention to drive range from
Parker Hannifin - SSD: "The new colours are being introduced on the latest versions of Parker SSD Drives' AC890 system drives, AC690+ AC vector drives, AC650 and 650V AC drives, DC590+ DC drives and DRV series DC drives".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Control Techniques
concerning its Unidrive SP
- take a look at DaimlerChrysler places large drive order
which says: "Around 600 Control Techniques drives were used in the Vaneo production facility in Ludwigsfelde and production was optimised by direct communication between PLCs and the drives".
Take a look also at the news release from Anixter Components, Cable glands maintain sealing and screening,
as well as Valve terminal suits explosive applictions from Festo,
and Fieldbus systems offer IP65 protection from Hayes Control Systems.
