Re: Any pics of cnc control cabinets?
A unwritten law is that the enclosure you order always ends up being at least 5% too small!
I have often got deals on used enclosures off ebay, some came with disconnect, terminals, P.B.'s etc, I even got one that was stainless!
I have always earth grounded my DC supplies where possible to the Star ground point, the service ground should also terminate there.
I have even put two VFD's in the same enclosure as the rest of the control.
For hook up wire, of course always use stranded conductor and my favorite is TR64 as the insulation is much smaller and avoids filling up the wire trough.
Another general rule is to place heat producing items at the top of the enclosure.
