Special applications / Customisation that makes the difference in rail infrastructure

In the railway sector, the efficiency and safety of infrastructure maintenance and management operations are a priority. For this, each technological component must meet high standards of quality, reliability and customisation.

We are a leader in the design and manufacture of stainless steel electrical enclosures, capable of responding to complex and specific technical requirements, as demonstrated by this recent project we carried out for a major customer in the railway sector.
 

The customer's requirement

The customer needed a customised electrical enclosure, to be installed in a railway environment, with characteristics that would guarantee not only resistance and reliability, but also operational safety for the technical personnel who would have to work on it under special conditions.

Among the main requirements, the cabinet had to be easily accessible, guaranteeing safe manoeuvring space and optimal heat management, without compromising the protection of the internal equipment.

The IRINOX Electrical Enclosures solution

In response to these requirements, our design team developed a made-to-measure stainless steel modular cabinet, featuring a series of advanced technical specifications that helped improve operational performance and safety.

The AZ modular cabinet was equipped with a modular rack system, consisting of three modules placed side-by-side, which allows for an orderly and secure handling of electronic components.

The rack structure is designed to support a heavier weight than common standards, thanks to its installation on spring-loaded vibration dampers, which ensure effective protection of vibration-sensitive equipment.

Doors open up to 180° for greater safety

We improved accessibility by installing doors that open up to 180° (higher than our standard of 115°).

This detail has made it possible to create adequate escape routes for technicians and workers working on the cabinets in the event of an emergency, perfectly complying with industry safety regulations.

Complete insulation for optimal thermal insulation

The cabinet has been fully insulated with insulating panels on the doors, bottom and top, ensuring optimal thermal protection and even heat distribution.

The insulation, combined with an externally mounted dual climate control system, helps to maintain optimal operating temperatures for the internal components, even in the most critical environmental conditions.

Solid mounting and external customisation

The mounting of the enclosure to the ground has been realised with specific fasteners to ensure lasting stability even in case of vibrations.

In addition, an external projecting bracket was provided for the installation of an antenna, demonstrating our ability to adapt the design of the electrical enclosure to the customer's functional requirements.

Result

Thanks to this customised solution, our client in the railway industry was able to significantly improve the operational efficiency of its system, minimising risks to personnel and ensuring reliable equipment operation even in critical environments.

Our commitment to quality and safety is reflected in every project we implement, ensuring maximum performance for your critical infrastructure.
