RITTAL OFFERS 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
Rittal’s Product Manager Mark Guest, “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 should contact their
