The cabinet housed safety controls for a robot operating zone, with protected components and clearly arranged wiring.
The customer’s challenge
Inadequate enclosure protection and disordered safety wiring accompanied slow emergency-stop response.
Material and fabrication route
2.0 mm Q235 steel; 2.5 mm galvanized mounting plate.
Process route: Laser cutting → bending → welding → powder coating → safety-relay installation → powered inspection.
Manufacturing changes
IP54 enclosure protection, segregated safety wiring, dual-channel stop circuitry and clear identification addressed the installation issues.
Engineering analysis
The sheet metal cabinet supported a wider control-system change. Enclosure protection, segregated wiring and identification helped organize the installation, but the stop-response and safety-level results belong to the configured circuitry and controls. A new cabinet order therefore needs both mechanical drawings and an agreed electrical responsibility boundary. Reproducing the cabinet dimensions alone would not reproduce the documented control-system performance.
Inspection and project results
The configured control system passed the reported safety PLC test, with emergency-stop response ≤100 ms.
| Project measurement or production detail | Recorded value |
|---|---|
| Emergency-stop response | ≤100 ms |
| Protection test | IP54 |
| Reported safety level | PLd |
These figures describe the project configuration and production scope above. Dimensional, material and production details are identified separately from performance tests. For a new order, the inspection method and acceptance criteria should be agreed against the released drawings.
Planning a similar OEM component
A useful RFQ for this application should make the following interfaces and acceptance requirements clear:
- Cabinet and mounting-plate drawings.
- Safety-circuit responsibility.
- Wiring separation and service access.
- Configured-system acceptance tests.
Include the current drawing revision, mating-component information, quantities and required delivery sequence. Identifying unresolved requirements at quotation stage helps distinguish fabrication work from the equipment-level checks that the project needs.
