Overview

The Hoffman Enclosures CON48 is a steel operator console cabinet designed for industrial control environments. It features a sloped front panel to facilitate ergonomic mounting of instruments and controls. The unit measures 24 inches in length, 48 inches in width, and 36 inches in height, with a total depth of 24 inches. Constructed from gray steel, it provides an NEMA 12 rating for protection against dust and dripping non-corrosive liquids. The console includes a panel height of 42 inches and a panel width of 32 inches. Weighing approximately 111.13 kg (245 lbs), this enclosure is intended for heavy-duty applications requiring robust physical protection and structured operator interface integration.

Feature Summary

• Sloping front control panel provides an ideal surface for mounting operator controls or instruments
• NEMA 12 rated construction protects internal components from dust and dripping non-corrosive liquids
• Steel material ensures structural durability for industrial environments

Applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer part number against official Hammond Manufacturing documentation to ensure compatibility with required NEMA ratings and dimensional constraints. Confirm shipping restrictions related to product weight and dimensions, as delivery may be limited to specific regions or currencies. Ensure the selected model matches the required panel dimensions for instrument mounting.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a durable, floor-standing console is required for integrating multiple operator controls. Consider the NEMA 12 rating for indoor industrial settings where dust and liquid drip protection are necessary. Evaluate the physical footprint and weight capacity of the installation site due to the substantial mass of the steel construction.
