EExe junction boxes can be customised to order

MGB Electrical product story

MGB Electrical has recognised the growing requirement for hazardous area equipment and the resulting need for EExe box customisation.
Being able to source a standard EExe junction box or control unit is seen by many as a simple task with these items being available off the shelf.
But when you need extra terminals, an extra tapped hole or even a nonstandard cutout, then the task becomes much more time consuming and of course requires an engineered solution.
Now this too can be a simple task thanks to the services available from MGB Electrical.
And don't worry if you don't know anything about EExe equipment; MGB Electrical will hold your hand through the ordering and specification process.
Peter Dickson, Engineering Manager of MGB Electrical recognised the growing requirement for hazardous area equipment and the resulting need for EExe box customisation and invested in a Gillardon CNC three-axis co-ordinated drilling and tapping machine.
This is in addition to the three vertical machining centres already at MGB Electrical.
Dickson comments: "We can be as flexible as you need us to be, within the constraints of the ATEX licence".
When the Gillardon is used in conjunction with a Combi-tap a very accurate core diameter and thread forming is achieved.
This also ensures accurate pitch control and squareness of thread.
In addition to drilling and tapping, the machine has full G code CNC control, enabling any cut out to be made anywhere on the box.
Of course the EExe junction box customisation and assembly can only be carried out under licence by the EExe box manufacturer, and these licenses have been granted to MGB by its respective partners Bartec and Crouse Hinds.
Crouse Hind has developed a new EExe junction box called Ex-cell.
The Ex-Cell range encompasses all the technical benefits of the existing and well-respected TB range but offers an enhanced and much more modern design as well as being extremely competitive.
This box is ideal for many emerging hazardous area markets, such as food, pharmaceutical, distillery and automotive applications.
Delivery time is often critical for such projects, so in order to meet the requirements of the customer MGB Electrical stocks a comprehensive range of polyester and stainless steel junction boxes (Bartec and Crouse Hinds) together with a range of ATEX approved terminals (Weidmuller, Wieland) and glands (Capri, Raxton, Wiska and Hawke) at its premises, based in Tring, Hertfordshire.
With the in-house engineering resource and capability together with the available stock of enclosures, ATEX terminals and glands, MGB can always provide the shortest lead time possible.
