Product Description:

The 5ACCMA01.0100-000 is a mechanical expansion component produced by B&R Automation for its 5AC CNC Addon Modules series. The unit provides a standardized enclosure that allows auxiliary electronics to mount beside primary CNC controllers and operator panels. In an automation cell, it serves as a protective carrier, giving a defined footprint and a VESA interface so that sensors, communication adapters, or small embedded processors can be positioned close to the machine frame while sharing the same grounding arrangement as the rest of the control cabinet.

Its physical profile is compact. The depth measures 51 mm, which lets the module fit behind shallow operator consoles without interfering with ventilation channels. A width of 270 mm offers enough frontal area to accommodate connector plates and small PCBs while still aligning with standard rack segments. The height is 189 mm, keeping the unit below the typical 200 mm limit used for stacked mounting in narrow housings. Despite the all-metal build, the module weighs only 900 g, easing arm-type installations where overhung mass must be minimized. The enclosure is fabricated from coated aluminum, a material choice that conducts heat away from internal electronics and resists corrosion in temperature-cycled production environments.

The surface treatment uses a white aluminum finish (similar to RAL 9006), so the module matches the visual appearance of other 5AC components and reflects ambient light to reduce localized heating. The housing is intended for clean control-room conditions and offers an IP10 ingress protection level that blocks accidental contact with live parts. It is also classified for pollution degree 2 operation under EN 61131-2. For mechanical attachment, an integrated VESA mounting pattern enables direct fastening to articulated arms, swing panels, or wall brackets without additional adapter plates.
