Enclosure configuration involves more than selecting the right enclosure size. Accessories, internal components, machining requirements and engineering data all form part of the process.
RiPanel, Rittal’s web-based enclosure configurator, brings these steps together in one digital environment.
Available free of charge, RiPanel allows users to configure Rittal enclosures in 3D, select compatible accessories, define machining requirements and generate engineering data for the completed configuration.
Configure Your Enclosure in 3D
RiPanel provides an interactive 3D model of the enclosure throughout the configuration process.
Users can select an enclosure and add accessories directly within the digital model, providing a clear view of the complete configuration as it develops.
This makes it possible to review component placement and the overall enclosure layout before the configuration is finalised.
Select Compatible Accessories
RiPanel supports the selection of compatible Rittal accessories for the chosen enclosure.
Rather than selecting individual products separately and checking their compatibility afterwards, the configurator guides accessory selection based on the enclosure being configured.
This brings the enclosure and its accessories together within a single configuration.
Add Custom Cut-Outs and Machining
RiPanel can also be used to define the machining required for an enclosure.
Users can add cut-outs and machining within the 3D configuration, including predefined geometries or individually required openings.
Custom geometries can also be uploaded and positioned on the enclosure, allowing project-specific machining requirements to form part of the digital configuration.
Generate Engineering Data
Once the enclosure has been configured, RiPanel provides access to the associated engineering and configuration data.
This includes CAD data, technical information and configuration documentation that can be used during subsequent engineering and manufacturing processes.
The completed configuration therefore provides more than a visual model of the enclosure; it also creates digital information that can be used throughout the project workflow.
From Enclosure Selection to Completed Configuration
RiPanel provides a single digital environment for developing a Rittal enclosure configuration, from selecting the enclosure and accessories through to machining and engineering data.
For engineers, panel builders and manufacturers already working with Rittal enclosure systems, it provides an online tool for developing and documenting configurations before they move into production.
RiPanel is available online and free to use.
