Control panels play an important role in today’s manufacturing environment. Integral to automation and process control systems, they need to handle a number of challenges, including advancements in control systems technology and the evolution of the design and fabrication process. With the exorborant costs of building and maintaining an industrial control panel, it is important to do as much as possible to optimize the space inside your panel. With Panduit space optimization products you achieve up to 40% space savings in your panel.

The PanelMax™ DIN rail wiring duct’s design raises components from the panel surface, providing easier access and faster terminations. It is compatible with standard 35mm or 15mm DIN rail and many DIN rail mount components to aid in design flexibility. Optional wire retainer accessory retains cabling with cover opened or removed, which eases wire installation and future wire additions. The two-channel DIN rail wiring duct has a hinged, flexible cover that gives you the ability to maximize space by mounting the DIN rail and components on top of the duct. The innovative design provides 30% control panel space savings, 25% material cost savings, and 40% faster installation.

Panduct® PanelMax™ corner wiring duct is an innovative wire management device that utilizes typically unused vertical corners in control panels, which can help provide up to 20% space savings in your panel. It is easy to install, which in turn reduces control panel assembly costs, and is compatible with standard cable duct and covers. PanelMax™ Corner Wiring Duct is a part of Panduit’s extensive wire management solutions for control panels.

Electrical control panels house resources that are critical in protection of the automation system. Since both the control panel housings and components are so expensive, it is important to make the most out of your control panel space. Panduit’s innovative EMI noise shield dividers help separate and shield sensitive wiring from noise emission, which allows you to place pathways in closer proximity. The shielding provides up to 20 decibels noise reduction, which is equivalent to 6 inches of air spacing and can help achieve up to 40% space savings.
