RITTAL OFFERS PANEL OPPORTUNITY TO
TEST DRIVE THE PERFOREX SOLUTION
Rittal is offering UK customers the chance
to ‘test drive’ its Perforex machining and
automation systems before they buy.
Rittal Perforex machining centres
are a major advance for switchgear
manufacturing. They are designed to
automate the creation of bore holes,
cut-outs and threads in mounting plates,
enclosure doors and side panels. It means
that the time-consuming and mechanical
processing steps required for the
preparation of enclosure panels can now
be accomplished in a single work step to
an extremely high degree of accuracy. The
work can be simply programmed into the
Perforex to be repeated multiple times for
fast, effective batch processing.
Customers are being invited to
Rittal’s new Working Demonstration
Centre in Rotherham to see a working
demonstration model of the Perforex.
They can bring examples of their own
enclosure modification projects using Rittal
AE enclosures and compare the quality of
finish they’re currently achieving, as well as
the time a job takes, with that delivered by
the Perforex.
“The Perforex really is a game-changer
for panel builders,” says Paresh Kansara,
Rittal’s Product Manager for Industrial
and Outdoor Enclosures. “Automation
of mundane and routine tasks improves
accuracy and quality, as well as increasing
productivity and customer satisfaction.
“We’ve heard of projects that would have
taken up four hours, now completed in 20
minutes to a consistently high standard
of finish, whether the order was for one
panel, or 100. And because it’s cleaner and
there’s less waste, it can also transform the
working environment.
“This is the first time we’ve been able
to offer a no-obligation opportunity for
customers to see it in action and ‘test drive’
it in the UK. We’re looking forward to
demonstrating it to them.”
Rittal’s Working Demonstration Centre also
includes a RiMatrix Rig – Rittal’s integrated
modular solution for IT infrastructures - and
a working IT chiller, which demonstrates
Rittal’s ongoing commitment in
preparation for IoT demands and delivering
edge computing solutions.
The Perforex is one of a range of
automated tools, developed by Rittal, to
support panel building and switchgear
manufacturing.
They include tools to help with:
• handling and ergonomics in the assembly
of mounting plates and panels
• cutting centres for effortlessly cutting
cable ducts, cable duct covers and
support rails
• automated wiring to automatically wire
enclosure mounting plates, which is a
huge time-saving advance – potentially
saving 15 working hours per enclosure
To book a Perforex Free Trial customers

Manager, or email [email protected].
