Rittal Comfort Panel – Aluminum Operator Enclosure for CP Support Arm Systems

Operating housing in a stylish / slimline design made from extruded aluminium sections for effective heat dissipation, with support arm cut-out Ø 130 mm or rectangular 120 x 65 mm to fit support arm system CP 60 / 120 / 180, service access from the front or rear, uniform all-round mounting channels for individual installation of accessories without machining, protection category IP 65. For the North American market, we have enhanced our product offerings to include the below additional size options.

The Rittal Comfort Panel is an aluminum operator enclosure designed for industrial HMI, machine control and operator-interface applications.

The slimline housing is manufactured from extruded aluminum sections, combining low weight and mechanical stability with effective passive heat dissipation.

Depending on the configuration, the Comfort Panel can be integrated with CP 60, CP 120 and CP 180 support arm systems using a Ø 130 mm or 120 × 65 mm support arm connection.

With IP 65 protection, flexible service access and all-round mounting channels for accessories, the Comfort Panel is suitable for machine builders, automation systems and industrial operator stations where the HMI needs to be positioned separately from the main electrical enclosure.

Comfort Panel Model

CP 8015400 – Model CP121606 It combines an extruded aluminum housing with the Comfort Panel support-arm architecture, making it suitable for HMI and operator-control installations where a compact industrial operating enclosure is required.

Why Choose the Comfort Panel?

Comfort Panel selection should start with the HMI and operator-interface layout, not simply the external enclosure dimensions. The HMI must fit within the usable front-panel area while leaving sufficient room for emergency stops, push buttons, selector switches, indicators and mounting hardware.

Installation depth is equally important. The space behind the HMI must accommodate connectors, cable bend radius, terminals and any additional electronic components. For this reason, the HMI drawing should be checked against the enclosure drawing before machining or ordering.

The support arm is then selected according to the complete operator-station configuration. CP 60, CP 120 and CP 180 should not be chosen solely according to enclosure size; total panel weight, arm length, number of joints and required movement also affect the final configuration.

 

Selection Table
Project Requirement Selection Point
HMI / touchscreen Check front-panel area and cut-out
Internal components Check installation depth
Existing support arm Confirm mechanical interface
New support arm system Compare CP 60 / CP 120 / CP 180
Long arm reach Check complete panel load
Movable operator panel Confirm coupling and joint configuration
Limited maintenance space Confirm service direction
Machined front panel Check sealing after machining

 

CP Support Arm Compatibility

The Comfort Panel and CP support arm should be treated as one mechanical system.

Depending on the selected configuration, the Comfort Panel uses either a Ø 130 mm or 120 × 65 mm rectangular support arm connection. The correct interface must match the attachment, coupling and other support-arm components used in the project.

For an existing installation, the safest selection method is to identify the current support arm and connection components before replacing the operator enclosure. For a new installation, the enclosure, total installed weight, required arm reach and movement should be considered together before choosing CP 60, CP 120 or CP 180.

HMI Machining

 

The Comfort Panel can be configured for HMIs, touchscreens, push buttons, emergency stops, selector switches and other operator controls. Because these devices normally require front-panel machining, the component layout should be confirmed before production.

SUWI can review enclosure machining requirements according to the supplied DXF/DWG or dimensioned drawing. For HMI projects, the drawing should clearly identify the required cut-out dimensions, hole positions and reference edges.

Where IP 65 protection is required, the sealing method of the installed HMI and other panel-mounted devices must also be considered after machining.

 

Typical Applications

Comfort Panel is primarily suited to applications where the operator interface needs to be positioned independently from the main electrical enclosure.

Machine Operation

Machine Tools & Automated Equipment

Provides a dedicated location for the HMI and machine controls close to the operator while the main electrical enclosure can be installed separately.

Production Lines

Assembly & Production Lines

A support-arm configuration allows the operating panel to be positioned according to workstation layout, operator access and production-line requirements.

Automation Cells

Robotics & Automation Cells

Keeps the operator interface accessible at the working position while the main electrical cabinet is located elsewhere in the automation cell.

When Comfort Panel may not be necessary

For fixed wall-mounted controls or applications that do not require a support arm, an AX or another enclosure platform may be a more appropriate and economical solution.

 

What to Confirm Before Ordering

Before requesting a quotation, confirm the required Comfort Panel article number where possible, together with the HMI model, front-panel requirement, installation depth and approximate installed weight.

For a complete support-arm configuration, also provide the required arm length and movement. If machining is required, include the HMI drawing or DXF/DWG file. For replacement projects, existing CP component article numbers or installation photos are useful for checking compatibility.

Providing these details allows the enclosure + support arm + accessories + machining to be checked as one configuration rather than quoting individual components separately.

 

FAQ

 

Q1: Is CP 8015400 a separate product from the Comfort Panel?

A: No. CP 8015400 / CP121606 is a specific article number within the Comfort Panel product family. The Comfort Panel page describes the overall product platform, while the article number defines the actual configuration being ordered.

 

Q2: Which support arm should I use?

A: The Comfort Panel is designed for compatible CP support arm systems. The correct configuration depends on the panel weight, arm length, connection and required movement, so CP 60, CP 120 or CP 180 should be selected together with the complete operator-station configuration.

 

Q3: Can the front panel be machined for my HMI?

A: Yes, machining requirements can be reviewed from the HMI drawing or a DXF/DWG file. The required cut-out and sealing arrangement should be confirmed before production.

 

Q4: Are the CP support arm and accessories included?

A: Do not assume that the support arm, coupling, joints or other accessories are included with the enclosure. The complete supply scope should be confirmed against the selected article number and project BOM.
