Enclosures — Industrial Protection for Control, Power & Automation Systems
At Excel Automation, we provide a wide range of industrial enclosures designed to protect electrical, control, and automation components in demanding environments. From basic indoor control cabinets to rugged outdoor and washdown-rated enclosures, our solutions help safeguard equipment, ensure compliance, and extend system life.
Whether you’re housing PLCs, drives, power distribution, instrumentation, or networking equipment, the right enclosure is essential for reliable, long-term operation.
Why Enclosures Matter in Industrial Automation
Industrial environments expose equipment to dust, moisture, chemicals, vibration, temperature extremes, and physical damage. Enclosures serve as the first line of defense, protecting sensitive components while maintaining accessibility for operators and maintenance teams.
A properly selected enclosure helps you:
-
Protect equipment from environmental hazards
-
Maintain safety and compliance with industry standards
-
Reduce downtime caused by contamination or damage
-
Extend the life of electrical and automation components
-
Create organized, serviceable control systems
Without adequate enclosure protection, even high-quality components can fail prematurely.
