Save up to 25% over traditionally designed electrical panels

The Proclip® and Prolight modular electrical panel frame and wire management systems from Satie shrink space requirements,

cut material costs, increase productivity and reduce weight.

(Toronto, Canada, 20 May 2010) —

Invented by Gino Faccin and Yves

Paris, French electrical engineers

with over 45 years of combined

electrical industry experience

designing and wiring electrical

control panels, the innovative

Proclip and Prolightmodular

electrical panel frame and wire

management systems (Figure 1)

from Satie are designed to help

OEM machine builders, system

integrators, panel builders,

switchgear manufacturers and

alike shrink space requirements,

cut material costs, increase productivity and reduce weight — saving users up to 25%

over traditionally designed electrical panels on combined material and labor costs.

The Proclip and Prolight systems

provide designers an intelligent way to

organize electrical enclosures. The

patented Proclip system is designed for

use in medium to large enclosures while

the Prolight system is suited for small to

medium enclosures with a shallow depth.

Both systems can be mounted in any type

of metallic or non-metallic industrial,

modular, electronic/IT, or power

distribution enclosure.

The Proclip and Prolight systems

have been engineered to maximize space

utilization. Users can shrink enclosure,

floor, and surface space requirements by 25% to 50% while providing a reserve

for future system expansion, upgrades or retrofits (Figure 2).

The Proclip and Prolight systems are made of high-strength, lightweight,

extruded aluminum, and meet or exceed the DIN 50018 corrosion standard.

Additionally, they are CSA approved (C22.2 No.14-05 and C22.2 No. 0-M91), and

UL Recognized (UL 508A - NITW2).

The Proclip and Prolight systems are designed to be very flexible, and accom-

modate any size or type of electrical component — even non-electrical components

like pneumatic directional control valve manifolds. This ability is accomplished

through a variety of slotted panel profiles that provide fast and easy component

attachment using slide nuts and bolts, and profiles with integrated TS35/10 DIN rails

for ‘snap-on’ component attachment. A snap-in or

bolt-on TS35/15 DIN rail is also available for those

applications that require a taller profile or a

45O offset DIN rail (See Figure 4) for easier

component accessibility.

The Proclip and Prolight panel profiles come

in various heights to fit the components on the row,

and are designed to be taller than the components

to provide better connection point accessibility. The

Proclip system has panel profile heights from 55mm

to 175mm in 20mm increments. The Prolight system

has profile heights of 55mm, 75mm, 95mm, 115mm

and 155mm. A 20mm extension is available for the

Prolight profiles for those applications which

require an offset DIN rail.

The versatility doesn’t stop there. The

Proclip profiles can be mounted horizontally,

vertically or a combination of both depending on

the application (See Figure 1, left). For those

applications that require a shallow depth, but

also need a combination of DIN rails and slotted

profiles we can integrate Proclip and Prolight

profiles into one panel frame assembly.

The combination of snap-in DIN rail and

profile flexibility also allows the designer to make

field modifications if the preassembled panel has

not been fully engineered

Satie provides our

customers with preassembled

panel frames. By doing so

component-to-panel

assembly time is reduced

by 80% - 90% because

panel layout/tracing; punch-

ing, drilling or tapping holes;

and cutting of DIN rail and

wire duct are eliminated. The preassembled panel frames have other advantages,

including elimination of wire duct size calculations by the engineering department;

ordering and processing one (1) part number instead of several; and storing and

managing less inventory.

Each Proclip panel is attached to the mounting pillar using a U-shaped

mounting bracket. The pillar, mounting bracket and panel combination creates an

integrated wire duct behind the panel, down each side (See Figures 3 & 4) — and

center depending on panel width — which shortens wire runs by up to 50%, and

simplifies the wiring process by allowing easier access to the wire and the ability for

wire segmentation. If wire segmentation is needed for horizontal runs, a divider is

available. A full panel length cover is available to keep the wire in the duct without

the need for cable ties.

The wire management combs are attached to the Proclip and Prolight panel

edges which allow the wires to be neatly organized while simultaneously holding

them in place. The wire management combs, integrated wire ducts and component

connection point accessibility on the Proclip system make the panels more ergonomic

which leads to easier and more efficient component wiring — reducing

component wiring time by 30%. (See Figure 5.)

The combs are engineered to hold a wide range of wire sizes by snapping

off tabs as needed for larger gauge wire. When wiring is completed covers can be

snapped onto the combs locking the wire in place and enhancing the panel’s aesthetics.

The covers are easily removable to provide access to the wire during troubleshooting.

Molded of halogen-free, plastic, the combs and covers have a -32OC to 60OC

(-25OF to 140OF) temperature rating and meet UL 94 flammability standards. The

combs and covers are available in blue or gray.

The clean panel design and wire placement behind the panel allows for a

natural air flow across the components which dissipates more heat and increases

component longevity. Additionally, it improves component accessibility making

serviceability easier and faster.

The light weight of the Proclip and Prolight panel frames, the reduction of

enclosure size, and the reduction in wire all add up to an assembled electrical

enclosure weight reduction of up to 40% — saving money on shipping costs and

manpower to install. In addition, assembled Proclip and Prolight panel frames meet

or exceed the DIN EN 60721-3-2 shock and vibration standard.

Electrical systems designers can send a CAD drawing or hand-sketched

diagram of a current or needed panel and within 24 hours Satie engineers will

analyze the panel, conduct a takeoff and provide a Proclip or Prolight panel

schematic and cost comparison. Assembled Proclip or Prolight panels are

manufactured and shipped within 2 days of receiving a purchase order.

Since their inception, the Satie Proclip and Prolightmodular panel frames

have been used in a wide variety of industries and applications around the world.

Some of these applications include automotive conveying systems, injection molding,

packaging and other specialized machinery, heat treating furnaces, hospital

switchgear, oil platform control rooms, lighting control panels for retail stores,

elevator control systems, and water treatment equipment.
