Categories Related to Operation Boxes
An operation box, often referred to as a control box, switch box, cabinet box, or enclosure, is designed for housing and organizing control equipment and operating switches. These boxes facilitate the remote control of machines, devices, or equipment from a location separate from the main control panel.
Operation boxes serve a wide range of applications, including:
These boxes typically accommodate input and display devices such as pushbutton switches, selector switches, indicators, programmable displays, and panel computers.
An operation box includes a main body and a cover that opens via screws or hinges. It mounts control devices for input and display on the cover, allowing operation and visibility even when closed. Inside, a mounting board may be present for attaching additional control devices like control relays and terminal blocks. Cable glands and through holes facilitate the connection of control cables.
Operation boxes vary by their opening mechanism—fixed or retractable—and may include locking features or hand grips for easy adjustment. The size selection depends on the internal components and required cable management.
Materials range from steel, stainless steel, aluminum casting, to polycarbonate and polybutylene terephthalate resins. The choice depends on the application environment, including indoor/outdoor placement and the need for protection against the elements.
Operation boxes are classified by dust and waterproof grades (IP Code) and explosion-proof construction for hazardous locations. Selection should match the environmental conditions.
Installation methods include wall-mounted, handheld, and stand types, chosen based on the operation location and user preference.
