ELECTRIC.IE • The Magazine & Website for the Irish Electrical Industry • 59 Industry News New graphical 3D configurator from Siemens simplifies the planning of control cabinets W ith the new graphical configurator, control cabinet manufacturers can now configure the system cubicles directly on the 3D model and order them electronically. They benefit from considerably reduced planning efforts and error- free configuration, which also allows customized modifications. Order processing is thus significantly shortened. The online configurator for Sivacon 8MF1 system cubicles is available free of charge on the Siemens Industry Mall at: https://sie.ag/2AH8yYU John O’Gorman, Low Voltage Products Business Manager for ‒ Siemens has launched a new graphical configurator for Sivacon 8MF1system cubicles. The modular system consists of a basic framework in 90 different sizes and 2,000 flexibly combinable elements. This enables the implementation of tailored solutions for virtually all industrial sectors and applications. Siemens Ireland, explains: “The configuration of the 8MF1 system cubicles occurs completely intuitively using a drag and drop approach within the online tool. After selecting an already configured enclosure or a desired frame, a wide range of outside parts, side and rear walls, roof versions or trim trips, along with interior parts and accessory elements, can be chosen and added” . All the modules are rendered three-dimensionally in the software. Even customized adjustments such as special colors or cutouts can be easily and realistically visualized. To prevent errors, the software checks all combinations automatically according to predefined rules. All data generated can afterwards be exported as 2D and 3D models in various formats and further processed in standard CAD tools. Parts lists, prices and product details are automatically generated, the order is handled fully digitally. For more information visit: https://sie.ag/2AH8yYU
