Automation Direct shows how simple it can be to assemble the Quadritalia Modular enclosures. These modular enclosure systems are a great alternative to standard enclosures. The Quadrialia enclosure provides a modular design that simplifies shipping and offers great flexibility. The cost is much lower than similar sized prebuilt enclosures.
This video details how to assemble a modular enclosure system.
Quadritalia modular enclosures are a great alternative to standard enclosures. Their modular design simplifies shipping and offers great flexibility. The cost is much lower than similar-sized prebuilt enclosures and they still carry CSA, NEMA, and UL Type 12 as well as IP55 ratings. As we’ll demonstrate these are quite easy to assemble. The only tools required for assembly are a T30 Torx driver, a 17mm wrench, a 13mm socket, a rubber mallet, a ladder or step stool, and possibly a flathead screwdriver for convenience. You first need to build the structure or frame of the enclosure. Mate the frame rails to the base. Make sure that the side of the rail with 4 holes faces the front or back of the enclosure. Don’t worry if the rails don’t fully seat, we’ll handle that in a minute. Once the rails are in place mate the top panel to the rails. Now it usually requires a little force applied by a rubber mallet to fully seat the rails into the base and the top. This tight fit ensures a rigid secure build. The rails are now secured with two 8mm screws in each corner. These torx screws are great since they won’t slip in the driver. Next, we’ll set the subpanel or back panel, whichever you call it. These conic pins attach to the bottom rails to mount the panel. The subpanel can be installed later but we found it is easier without the side panels installed. There are 2 brackets at the top of the panel bolts to. These brackets require the use of cage nuts. To install the cage nuts slip the long side into the square hole then slide toward the short side. Notice the long side is inserted away from the corner of the rail. We’ve set the back panel all the way to the rear. You could set it at any depth you want. These sliders are mounted to the bottom of the panel to secure the panel to the conic pins. Insert the panel with the top leaning out so it slides onto the conic pins. Then simply fasten with an M8 bolt on each top corner. The back and side panels are mounted with 6mm screws that will go into these mounting clips. These hold the nut for the panel screws and provide the proper spacing from the frame to make sure the panels seal to the frame. Be sure to install the gaskets to maintain a sealed enclosure. All exterior panels are assembled in the same manner except the side panels have 6 screws each and the rear panel has 8 or more. Lastly, install the door. You’ll use cage nuts again to mount the latches and hinges. Don’t skip the gaskets. Make sure the latch bar is toward the top on the top 2 latches as shown and towards the bottom on the bottom two. You’ll probably want a helper to get the door installed. The door can simply be flipped over to reverse the swing, just make sure you install the latches and hinges on the opposite side of how we installed them. And that’s all there is to assembling a modular enclosure. Automation Direct is providing the products and support you need to make us your common sense way to buy industrial controls.
