The Cabinet Engineering discipline provides extensive support for designing and laying out cabinets. This includes precise component placement, collision checks for objects, and the calculation of wire lengths and routes during the design phase. The filling level of cable ducts is always visible. Drilling data for bulk items, such as mounting rails, can be configured easily via a dedicated dialog. The integrated 3D view improves spatial awareness of the cabinet. All generated data is available for producing wire and cable bundles, label printing, mounting plates, and cabinet doors on NC machining centres.
A particularly useful feature is the ability to create cabinet layouts from external electrical CAD data without pre-existing schematics. A wizard reads terminal charts, material lists, and connection lists and matches them against the WSCAD database – offering a new degree of flexibility for cabinet builders who wish to create layouts in WSCAD using data from other electrical CAD systems.
Performance Focus
- Requirements-based project start: initiate design with the cabinet or schematics
- 3D wire routing and wire length calculation in the control cabinet to optimise the cable harness
- Automated cabinet wiring while considering various voltage levels
- Standardised control cabinet layouts (cabinet macros) for faster design
- Placement support, collision checks and fill-level display already during the design phase
- Export of all data for automated production (wiring lists, drilling/CNC data, part lists)
Technology at a glance
- Scale-based design
- Precise right and left-aligned placement of components accurate to one-tenth of a millimeter
- Fill level calculation and display of cable ducts
- Collision check of objects
- Auto-routing of connections, calculation of wire lengths
