New value for control panels

Control panels: The heart of manufacturing sites

Any evolution within control panel design and manufacturing will result in a follow-on evolution within
production facilities, therefore benefitting not only panel builders, but the end users or machine builders. If panel
design, panel manufacturing processes and human interaction with panels can be innovated by way of new
products, wiring techniques and technologies, then control panel manufacturing becomes simpler and makes a
huge leap forward in terms of efficiency. Starting with our shared Value Design for Panel *1 concept for control
panel product specification, we offer you control panel evolution and process innovation.

Our shared Value Design for Panel (herein after referred to as Value Design) concept for the specifications of products used
within control panels will create new value for our control panel customers. Combining multiple products that share the
Value Design concept will further increase the value provided.

Vibration resistance
You can use products with Push-In Plus technology (refer to page 8) to create robust control panels that
withstand vibration during both shipping and operation.

Improve airflow
The use of components with a uniform height ensures unobstructed airflow. As a result, heat is easily dissipated.
Reducing the temperature inside the panel increases product reliability, decreases failure rates, and prolongs
product life expectancies.

Previous Different heights and depths create hot spots. New Unified heights and depths help reduce hot spots.

Push-In Plus technology help to simplify wiring.

What is Push-In Plus technology?

Push-In Plus technology has been developed to provide easy wire insertion and firm wire holding, therefore
reducing the time and work involved in wiring.

Easy to insert Held firmly in place

Using our terminals with Push-In Plus technology is easier than Even though less insertion force is required, the wires are held firmly

technology, we have produced a spring that allows low insertion
force while ensuring high pull-out force.

Benefits of Value Design

Downsizing control panels

• Downsizing is our highest priority.
The use of Push-In Plus technology will be
an effective measure to downsize
control panels (company A).
• We need to downsize our control panels,
so side-by-side mounting (enabled
by reduced power consumption) is
appealing to us as it will generate less
heat (company B).

Saving space
• Our users often ask us to add-in
additional devices. We often have to
mount these devices in any space
available, therefore space-saving in
control panels would be a huge benefit
for us (company C).

Reducing dead space/

Making more-advanced control panels
• The number of devices required in
control panels is increasing due to more
advanced and more composite machine
functionality. Devices with unified
dimensions will help to reduce the design
work required for the layout inside the
control panel (Company D).

Main Features of our Value Design

• Unified slim size. (Except for some products)
• Front-in and front-release wiring
• Side-by-side mounting at an ambient temperature of 55ºC (applicable only within the same series.)
• Certification for UL and CSA + CE-mark
• Push-In Plus technology (except for some products)
 11

Vibration resistance and no need

for retightening
• I’m considering using Push-In Plus
technology because screw-type terminals
can become loose from device vibration
and this can cause connection issues
(company E).
• I want to use Push-In Plus technology
to eliminate screw tightening torque
and retightening work after shipping.
(company F).

Reducing wiring work

• I’m considering Push-In Plus technology to
increase wiring speed.
• Push-In Plus technology with less insertion
force will increase wiring speed
(company G).

Reducing design work and increasing

speed for exporting
• We give priority to UL-listed components
during device selection for our control
panels if we are exporting them to North
America. That makes UL recognition more
efficient (company I).
