Industrial control cabinet is an important part of the industrial automation system, the door material for the cabinet's protective performance, durability and aesthetics and other aspects have an important impact. Therefore, the industrial control cabinet door material specifications, there are strict requirements.
First, the importance of industrial control cabinet door material
- Protection of internal equipment: industrial control cabinets are usually installed inside a variety of electrical equipment and control components, the cabinet door material needs to have a certain degree of protective properties to prevent dust, moisture, corrosive gases and other damage to the internal equipment.
- Durability: industrial control cabinets usually need to operate in harsh environments for a long time, so the cabinet door material needs to have good abrasion resistance, corrosion resistance and aging resistance to ensure that the service life of the cabinet.
- Aesthetics: industrial control cabinet door materials and colors need to be coordinated with the overall style of the cabinet to meet the overall aesthetic requirements of industrial automation systems.
- Safety: the cabinet door material needs to have a certain fire performance to prevent fire accidents.
Second, the types of industrial control cabinet door materials
- Metal materials: metal materials are one of the main materials for industrial control cabinet doors, including stainless steel, aluminum alloy, cold rolled steel plate and so on. Metal materials have high strength, wear resistance and corrosion resistance, suitable for a variety of harsh environments in the industrial control cabinet.
- Plastic materials: plastic materials with lightweight, corrosion-resistant, easy to process and other advantages, suitable for some of the protective performance requirements of the industrial control cabinet door is not high.
- Composite materials: composite materials are two or more materials are compounded together to obtain better performance. For example, metal and plastic composite, metal and fiberglass composite. Composite materials can be adjusted according to the need for performance, suitable for some special requirements of industrial control cabinet door.
Third, the performance requirements of industrial control cabinet door material
- Strength: the cabinet door needs to withstand certain external forces, such as handling, collision, etc., so the material needs to have a certain strength.
- Abrasion resistance: cabinet door in the process of use, may be subject to friction, wear and tear, so the material needs to have good abrasion resistance.
- Corrosion resistance: industrial control cabinets usually need to run in a humid, corrosive environment, so the cabinet door material needs to have good corrosion resistance.
- Ageing resistance: the cabinet door needs to run for a long time in the process, to maintain stable performance, so the material needs to have good anti-aging.
- Fire performance: the cabinet door needs to have a certain degree of fire performance, in order to prevent fire accidents.
- Sealing performance: the cabinet door needs to have good sealing performance to prevent dust, moisture and so on into the cabinet interior.
- Aesthetics: the material and color of the cabinet door needs to be coordinated with the overall style of the cabinet to meet the overall aesthetic requirements of industrial automation systems.
Fourth, the choice of industrial control cabinet door material
- Selected according to the use of the environment: different use of the environment of the cabinet door material has different requirements, such as humid environments need to choose more corrosion-resistant material, high temperature environment needs to choose high temperature resistant material.
- According to the protection performance requirements to choose: according to the protection level requirements of the equipment inside the cabinet, choose the corresponding protection performance of the cabinet door material.
- Selected according to the cost budget: different materials of the cabinet door cost is different, according to the project budget need to choose the right material.
- Selected according to the aesthetic requirements: according to the overall aesthetic requirements of the industrial automation system, select the appropriate color and style of the cabinet door material.
Fifth, industrial control cabinet door material processing technology
- Metal material processing: metal material processing technology including cutting, bending, welding, grinding, spraying, etc..
- Plastic materials processing: plastic materials processing technology, including injection molding, extrusion, thermoforming and so on.
- Composite material processing: the processing technology of composite material needs to be selected according to the characteristics of its constituent materials, such as metal and plastic composite needs to be welded or bonded, metal and glass fiber composite needs to be wound or laminated.
Sixth, industrial control cabinet door material testing and acceptance
- Appearance check: check whether the appearance of the cabinet door is flat, no scratches, no deformation, etc..
- Size check: check whether the size of the cabinet door meets the design requirements.
- Performance test: test the strength, abrasion resistance, corrosion resistance, aging resistance and other properties of the cabinet door.
- Sealing performance test: test the sealing performance of the cabinet door to ensure that its sealing performance meets the requirements.
- Fire performance test: test the fire performance of the cabinet door to ensure that its fire performance meets the requirements.
- Aesthetics check: check whether the color, gloss, texture, etc. of the cabinet door meets the requirements of aesthetics.
