Control cabinet construction: Automation of processes & systems
It's best to contact us as soon as you begin developing your new machines, because 70% of the costs are determined during the development phase, and only 30% can be optimized later in production. Control cabinet construction is one of our core competencies and part of our daily business. This gives our engineers in-depth knowledge of various electrotechnical components, enabling them to develop the most cost-effective solution for you, regardless of the brand.

Controls and UL certification from a single source
UL certification of control cabinets – Schaltag for SKAN: controls, module control panels and UL certification from a single source. For reasons of hygiene, the requirements of these systems for all processes are very high. Schaltag has proven to be a reliable partner here and manufactures for several machine variants:
• the complete controls with and without housing
• the module control panels
• the system cabling
• the technical documentation
• the control cabinets
• the control cabinets
Added to this is the optimized procurement of all required components, taking into account the UL specifications, the assembly and testing of the entire system with test operation, and the preparation for dispatch for the end customer by the Schaltag team.
The UL certification of control cabinets for the controls and the module control panels directly by Schaltag is essential. This fulfills a crucial requirement for the American market. Any uncertainties in the certification process are thus ruled out in advance.
A lack of proof can result in expensive overall tests in the USA, combined with considerable costs and time delays. Reason enough for SKAN to enter into an intensive partnership with Schaltag.
