UL508A Control Panels
We design and manufacture UL508A-certified industrial control panels for general applications. Our panels meet strict safety standards, featuring computer-generated wire labels, 20% spare conductors, and stud-mounted components for durability. Ideal for industries requiring reliable motor control systems in non-hazardous environments.
UL698A Control Panels
Our UL698A-certified panels are engineered for hazardous locations, adhering to NRBX and NNNY designations. These panels use intrinsically safe components and NEMA Type 7 enclosures to mitigate explosion risks. Designed for industries like oil and gas, where flammable materials require stringent safety compliance.
Custom Industrial Panels
We create tailored control panels for complex projects, from single units to high-volume runs. Our process includes design review, prototyping, and quality inspections. Features like PLC/IO terminal strips and combed wiring harnesses ensure ease of installation and long-term serviceability for diverse industrial needs.
