Product Description:

The VAM05.1-NN operator panel is manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat as part of the VAM Machine Operator Panels series. Intended for installation on control cabinets and machine frames, the panel presents a standardized front surface that carries push-buttons, indicator modules, or emergency-stop devices. By providing a fixed mounting location and environmental sealing, it simplifies wiring runs between the operator station and the control hardware, reduces enclosure penetrations, and gives production staff direct access to machine start, stop, and mode-select functions in automated lines.

The panel flange is prepared with 8 uniformly spaced cutouts so individual control devices can be inserted without additional machining. Each opening sits inside a rectangular clearance that measures 378 mm across and 82 mm high, allowing the assembled front plate to slip into a cabinet aperture of matching size while keeping a consistent border for gasket compression. Once seated, the external bezel extends to an overall breadth of 407 mm, and its vertical span reaches 110 mm; these dimensions provide enough surface area for labeling while still fitting compact operator station layouts.

Behind the bezel, the housing projects only 27 mm into the enclosure, leaving internal space free for wiring ducts and airflow around the device actuators installed in the previously described cutouts. The light gasketed face attains a IP54 ingress rating, protecting the switches against dust deposits and water splashes that are common near coolant lines or conveyor cleaners. A uniform finish in Light Gray RAL 7035 supports visual contrast for legends and maintains consistency with standard control cabinets. At just 0.4 kg, the panel can be mounted on thin sheet-metal doors without additional reinforcement, completing a low-mass, space-efficient interface section.
