Rittal-Type Control Cabinet: Key Features & Typical Use
Two Fold Patterns, Two Strength Profiles
The five-fold WT-ES body and the nine-fold WT-PS body differ in how the frame edge is formed, which changes stiffness and how the enclosure behaves when it is loaded with heavy drives or heavily populated mounting plates. Specifying the fold pattern against the duty avoids both a cabinet that flexes and a cabinet that is heavier and more expensive than the job requires.Twelve Size Combinations
WT-ES runs from 600 x 1200 x 400 mm to 800 x 2000 x 600 mm and WT-PS from 800 x 1800 x 600 mm to 1200 x 2000 x 600 mm, giving twelve combinations in total. Because the range is broad, a control room can be laid out for cable routing and access rather than having equipment positions dictated by one available enclosure size.Detachable Plate for Bench Assembly
Components mount on a detachable plate, so a PLC panel, drive assembly or relay set can be built, wired and tested on a bench and then installed as one unit. Later modifications, thermal checks and fault finding can also be done with the plate removed, which is considerably faster than reaching into a cabinet that is already full.Sealing and Hardware for Industrial Locations
Built-in sealing strips provide water, rain and dust resistance, so the enclosure can be used in outdoor instrument areas as well as indoors. Quality lock cylinders and high-strength hinges are fitted so the door stays closed and aligned through daily opening in a plant environment, which is where most enclosure problems actually start.Rittal-Type Control Cabinet Specifications & Technical Data

WT-ES and WT-PS — Rittal-Style Enclosures for Automation and Control
Automation cabinets fail for boring reasons: a door that no longer aligns, a mounting plate that cannot take the weight, or a shell that flexes when it is transported with equipment installed. The WT-ES five-fold and WT-PS nine-fold series address those points directly, with the frame edge formed to suit the structural duty the cabinet actually carries.Buyers also refer to these enclosures as Rittal-style control cabinets, industrial automation enclosures or electrical panel cabinets, and they are compared with standard 19-inch racks and with custom fabricated boxes. What separates suppliers is the fold pattern and rigidity of the frame edge, so if you are comparing two quotations on the same enclosure size, ask which fold pattern is being offered and what load the mounting plate is expected to carry.Twelve size combinations are available, from 600 x 1200 x 400 mm in the WT-ES range up to 1200 x 2000 x 600 mm in the WT-PS range, so the enclosure can be matched to the drives, PLC racks and terminal layouts that have to fit inside it. Built-in sealing strips provide water, rain and dust resistance for outdoor instrument areas as well as plant rooms.Electrical components mount on a detachable plate, which lets the assembly be prepared and tested on a bench and installed as a single unit. The enclosures use quality lock cylinders and high-strength hinges, and they accept knockouts, custom labelling and complete-set assembly with the component brands your project specifies.Factory-Direct Rittal-Type Control Cabinet Manufacturer & OEM / ODM

Rittal-Type Control Cabinet Buying Guide from the Manufacturer
Enclosure selection for automation is driven by what has to fit inside and how it will be transported. These are the points we confirm.
- Confirm the components going inside, including drives, PLC racks and terminal blocks, and their weight.
- Select the fold pattern, five-fold WT-ES or nine-fold WT-PS, against the structural duty.
- Select the size combination from the twelve available to suit the layout and cable routing.
- Confirm whether the cabinet is installed indoors or in an outdoor instrument area.
- Send the panel layout drawing, component list and any required colour or labelling.
- Approve the drawing, then production, inspection and dispatch.

What is a Rittal-type control cabinet?
It is an enclosure built to the modular frame and mounting conventions popularised by Rittal, used to house PLCs, drives, relays and terminal blocks. The WT-ES and WT-PS series are produced in five-fold and nine-fold frame configurations respectively, giving twelve size combinations from 600 x 1200 x 400 mm up to 1200 x 2000 x 600 mm.What is an automation control cabinet used for?
It houses the control and protection equipment of a process or machine: PLC racks, variable-speed drives, soft starters, relays, terminal blocks and power supplies. Typical installations are process control panels, drive assemblies, packaged plant rooms and motor control centres, and because the enclosure is opened for every modification, door alignment and mounting plate rigidity matter as much as the enclosure size.What is the difference between five-fold and nine-fold cabinets?
The difference is how the frame edge is folded, which changes stiffness and how the enclosure behaves under load. The five-fold WT-ES body suits standard automation and PLC panels. The nine-fold WT-PS body provides more rigidity where heavier drives or densely populated mounting plates are fitted. Both are Rittal-style enclosures from the same family and take the same accessories.Who manufactures industrial control cabinets?
The category includes the international brand that set the convention and a large group of manufacturers who build compatible enclosures, so identical dimensions can hide very different steel gauges and fold patterns. Ask whether cutting, forming, welding, coating and the mounting plate drilling are all done in house, and whether the enclosure is inspected before dispatch. LYE manufactures the WT-ES and WT-PS series in Wenzhou on our own lines and holds ISO9001, ISO14001, ISO45001, CCC, CE and TUV certification.How much does a control cabinet cost?
Indicative factory-direct pricing is roughly US$300 to US$3,000 per cabinet, depending on the size combination, the fold pattern, the steel gauge, whether accessories such as gland plates and cable entry systems are included, and the quantity ordered. For panel builders the useful comparison is the complete enclosure including the mounting plate and door hardware rather than the shell alone.

Use a distribution box for final circuits and compact branch protection; use a cabinet when the project needs larger incoming capacity, more feeder groups, metering, busbars or greater internal separation. The final choice should be checked against the single-line diagram, device list, available installation space and local project rules.
Provide the device schedule, circuit quantity, component dimensions, cable-entry direction, mounting method and required spare capacity. LYE also reviews door clearance, bending radius, heat-producing devices and the usable depth behind the mounting plate before confirming an enclosure size.
Start with the actual exposure to dust, rain, cleaning water and accidental contact rather than choosing the highest number by default. Cable entries, ventilation, door seals and installation workmanship affect the finished assembly, so the target rating and verification basis must be confirmed for the specific product and project.
Coated or galvanized steel is commonly considered for general indoor service, stainless steel for humid or corrosive locations, and engineering plastic for lightweight non-metallic applications. Material grade, thickness, UV exposure, chemical contact and earthing requirements must be confirmed against the installation environment.
Share the component heat load, ambient temperature, solar exposure, duty cycle and allowable internal temperature. LYE can then review enclosure volume, spacing, ventilation or fan provisions, sun shields, heaters or drainage details; the final thermal design remains tied to the installed equipment and site conditions.
Yes. A dimensioned drawing is preferred, but a physical sample and clear reference photographs can also start the review. Material, thickness, openings, hardware, finish, labels, inspection points and packing are recorded before sampling or repeat production.
PDF and common 2D CAD drawings are suitable for most enclosure enquiries, while 3D files can help with complex assemblies. Include a revision number, units, tolerances and component references; file compatibility and any missing production information will be confirmed during review.
A sample or first article can be arranged for a new or customized product. The approval plan should identify dimensions, openings, fit, appearance, hardware, labels and packaging, together with the sample cost and timing agreed for the actual order.
Available documents may include approved drawings, packing lists, dimensional or appearance inspection records, product data and certificates applicable to the confirmed model. Destination-specific declarations or third-party testing must be requested before order placement so availability and scope can be verified.
Lead time is confirmed after the product scope, quantity, sample requirement and finish are known. Packing is reviewed against product weight, surface protection, destination and shipping method; if an issue is found after delivery, send the order reference, label, photographs and quantity affected so it can be traced and reviewed.
