Mechatronics which is an interdisciplinary branch of engineering that combines mechanical,
electrical, and electronic systems.

An automation system consists of a device capable of receiving input (sensor, human-machine

interface, etc.), a computing system (processor), and the manipulators that perform the actual
work (actuator). The most important part of the three is the computing or control system.

2.3 Power distribution

Electric power distribution is the final stage in the delivery of electricity. Electricity is carried
from the transmission system to individual consumers. Distribution substations connect to the
transmission system and lower the transmission voltage to medium voltage ranging between 2

kV and 33 kV with the use of transformers. Primary distribution lines carry this medium
voltage power to distribution transformers located near the customer's premises. Distribution
transformers again lower the voltage to the utilization voltage used by lighting, industrial
equipment and household appliances. Often several customers are supplied from one
transformer through secondary distribution lines.

CHAPTER-3

ENCLOSURE MATERIAL SELECTION

3.1 Applications
• Before choosing a material, it’s important to think about the material qualities that your
application requires.
• What kind of weather conditions (such as snow, rain or sleet) will your device encounter
• Will your device need to withstand corrosion from salt water or chemicals? What kind of
aesthetic appearance should your device have
• Will your device feature an internal wireless antenna that needs to transmit radio frequency
signals?
• Will your device require EMI/RF shielding?
• Will your device be potentially subject to heavy impacts?
• Will your device need machined cut-outs on its enclosure?
• What kind of ingress protection rating (such as a NEMA rating or IP rating) will your device
need to have

3.2 Stainless steel

Stainless steel is a type of steel that’s alloyed with metals such as chromium and manganese to
increase its durability. This composition makes stainless steel highly resistant to the scratching,
staining, pitting and corrosion that can be a problem with some other metallic materials. This
composition also makes it an aesthetically pleasing material with an attractive metallic sheen.
Multiple grades of stainless steel are available, each with its own advantages, but 304 stainless
steel is the most common.

Applications

Polices stainless steel enclosures are a great choice for enclosures that need extreme durability.
Its resistance to corrosion and weathering makes it an ideal choice for outdoor weatherproof
enclosures, and its aesthetic properties mean it’s also popular for applications that require a
sleek and modern look.

Department of Mechanical Engineering, RLJIT 27

“An Organization Study At Rittal Indian Pvt.Ltd” 2023-24

3.3 Carbon steel

Carbon steel is another type of steel that’s used for more general applications than stainless
steel. It does not have the chromium and manganese content of stainless steel, which means
that it’s less resistant to corrosion. However, it’s less expensive than stainless steel, less prone
to denting and it can even be coated to resist corrosion. Thus, it’s still an extremely durable
material with good resistance to a wide variety of conditions.

Applications

Carbon steel enclosures are a good choice for any application that needs the general durability
of steel, but doesn't require the extra hardness and polished aesthetic of stainless steel. It’s an
all-around solid material for industrial and commercial applications, including device control
boxes and circuit breaker boxes.

3.4 Aluminium

Aluminum is a hard, shiny and lightweight metal that’s extracted from bauxite ore. It’s a highly
regarded enclosure material due to its toughness, its natural resistance to weather and corrosion
and its beautiful appearance. Aluminum has many of the same attractive properties as stainless
steel, but is easier to cut with machining tools and weighs less. It also features a natural RF
shielding property that blocks electromagnetic radiation from penetrating through the material.

Applications

Aluminum enclosures are an ideal choice for devices that need rugged protection in an
attractive and lightweight package. It’s also among the best materials for protecting devices
from electromagnetic interference, thanks to its natural RF shielding properties.

traverse above the bottom edge of the Z-axis guidance.
4. Portal milling machines of the Mattec brand stand for superior stability and quality. Any
geometric inaccuracies are not compensated by the control system. Instead, the focus is on
solid construction with mechanical adjustment options to set, for example, the rotation of
the transverse axis.
5. Due to the preloaded rack and pinion drive in the in der X-axis, direct position sensors are
no longer necessary because the backlash-free drive ensures a repetition accuracy of +/-
0,010 via the measuring sensor in the drive motor. Optionally, direct measuring systems
can also be installed.
6. Digital AC-servo drives facilitate rapid traverse rates of up to 30 m/min.
7. Roller guides are used for the guidance of the axes.
8. Depending on the axis and the length of the travel range, backlash-free adjusted, helical-
cut rack and pinion drives or ball screws with backlash-free adjusted and prestressed nuts
are used for transmission.
9. Mattec portal milling machines are equipped with a central lubrication for guides, screw
drives and racks.

CHAPTER-6

CONCLUSION

In our three weeks of internship in RITTAL private limited has been a valuable experience,
live gained particle insights into the construction industry, and collaborated with a talented
team. This opportunity has not only enhanced my technical knowledge but also provided a real-
world understanding of project management and industry dynamics. I’m grateful for the chance
to contribute to RITTAL PVT.LTD success and look forward to applying these learnings in
my future endeavours.
