The perfect customer solution
with “Rittal – The System”
When it comes to achieving comprehensive protection of electronics
and electrical engineering, the requirements can vary considerably.
For mechanical engineers, the energy effi ciency of the system is an
increasingly important consideration, alongside reliability. They will tend
to focus on economical cooling units. The same applies to the auto
industry, which also uses enclosures in a wide range of sizes: from
the TS 8 large enclosure through to small, compact and operating
enclosures. Meanwhile, other customers attach particular importance
to data consistency and use Rittal solutions at the engineering stage.
Finally, an airport like Berlin Schönefeld is particularly appreciative of the
safety standards of Ri4Power low-voltage switchgear. All these requirements
are met by the “Rittal – The System” modular range, with carefully
coordinated components and software tools. This is complemented by
individual system advice, an extensive range of accessories, and global
customer service.
Over the next few pages, read how companies from a wide range of

Rittal on the Weisser greenplus project
Trimming the electricity consumption
of lathes
With the pioneering project greenplus, Thorsten Rettich, Head of Design at J. G. Weisser Söhne, demonstrates that even
the optimised production system Univertor AC is still capable of achieving savings of up to 48%.
The energy-saving potential of machine tools is still
far from exhausted: With their greenplus project, manufacturers
J. G. Weisser Söhne based in St. Georgen
in the Black Forest demonstrate that it is still possible
to double energy effi ciency, even in high-tech plants.
This is made possible by a combination of different
optimisation solutions, including Cool Effi ciency
cooling units from Rittal.
As a rule of thumb, acquisition costs only account for
one-third of the overall costs of machine tools. In order
to minimise unit costs in the production chain, you also
need to address the downstream costs.
According to the Fraunhofer Institute for Production
Technology and Automation, around 20% of the total
costs over a machine tool’s service life are attributable to
energy consumption. This prompted Weisser to develop
an energy effi ciency programme for the internationally

popular machine tool series Univertor and Vertor.
“Low unit costs are the key competitive factor for our
customers. We must therefore pull out all the stops to
achieve this goal”, comments Thorsten Rettich, Head
of Design at Weisser. When it comes to energy-effi cient
production, the company far exceeds the usual standards,
as illustrated by the ambitious project greenplus
for Univertor AC. greenplus has been proven to cut the
primary energy consumption of this hard turning lathe
by 48%. The project is part of Weisser’s comprehensive
strategy to minimise unit costs. For transparency reasons,
the greenplus project has been sub-divided into
various function groups: the rotary lathe, Hydro & Air and
Cooling technology processes developed and patented
by Weisser.
Effi cient through and through
The rotary lathe system achieves savings of up to 77%
compared with other hard turning and grinding techniques.
Firstly, sealing surfaces e.g. for gear shafts
can be produced in a much shorter time. Secondly,
this technique replaces grinding and superfi nishing
processes by producing twist-free surface fi nishes.
There is plenty of energy-saving potential with rotary
lathes.
Hydro & Air uses innovative compact hydraulics combined
with effi cient pneumatics. This avoids heat loss
and leakage, and improves running and switching behaviour,
which in turn increases effi ciency and signifi cantly
reduces power consumption.
For cooling, Weisser uses Cool Effi ciency cooling units
from Rittal. They cool the controller in machine-integrated
enclosures. Recoolers are also used for process cooling.
Measurements in automobile factories have shown
that solutions from Rittal cut energy consumption by
45% compared with conventional cooling units. This is
achieved by the optimum interplay between innovative
fans and refrigerating compressors plus perfectly positioned
heat exchangers and electronic fi ll level control
for coolants.
Intelligent cooling alone achieves savings of around
465 kilowatt hours per annum with a single Univertor
machine. Since most of Weisser’s customers use 200
or more machines, with greenplus, this translates into
energy cost savings of more than 86,000 Euros per
annum, of which the Rittal systems account for around
10,000 Euros.
For process cooling, a recooler from Rittal is used in
addition to Cool Effi ciency cooling units.

Integrated system solution from Rittal
A stable energy supply
for new Berlin airport
Construction work at the BBI site, which covers the equivalent of 2,000 football pitches, has been underway since
September 2006. The new airport in the German capital Berlin is scheduled to open its doors in 2011.
Since September 2006, work has been underway to
expand Schönefeld as Germany’s new capital city
airport. An initial capacity of up to 27 million passengers
has been planned for 2011, with the option of
expanding this fi gure to 45 million per annum as and
when required. At this point, the airport will be consuming
roughly the same amount of electricity as a
city of 70,000 households. Transformer and distributor
stations, some of which are equipped with Ri4Power
power distribution systems from Rittal, will ensure a
stable energy supply.
Flughafen Berlin-Schönefeld GmbH bundled the contracts
for construction and planning services at the
airport into several large tenders. One of these, tender
GU XII, comprised all the wiring for the site, including
the construction of a total of 22 transformer stations
to supply all elementary equipment such as the control
tower, fi re brigade and data centre. The contract for
GU XII was awarded to a consortium, including Areva
and Westmontage as well as Berlin-based Elpro GmbH.
The owner-managed company Elpro is responsible for
the low-voltage switchgear in eight of the 22 power stations.
Its duties will include all the work stages for some

41 circuit-breaker sections and 40 switch-disconnectorfuse
sections, from engineering and production through
to assembly, commissioning and servicing. The airport’s
requirements are very exacting. For example, the invitation
to tender specifi es the form of separations for
switchgear and short-circuit resistance of up to 100 kW
throughout, right down to the distribution busbar.
Meticulously planned power distribution
Form-separated switchgear affords a high level of safety,
because the risk of contact with live parts is virtually
excluded, both during installation and commissioning,
as well as during subsequent maintenance work. Elpro
achieved the form separation of the switchgear using
Ri4 Power low-voltage switchgear from Rittal, using as
its basis the TS 8 Top enclosure system with modular
separation for Forms 2 to 4. The reliability and safety
of the Ri4Power system has been verifi ed by external
laboratory testing with switchgear from numerous reputable
manufacturers. Unlike its competitors, Rittal does
not charge any licence fees for the use of Ri4Power.
One major benefi t is the broad range of accessories
available for the modular TS 8, ranging from enclosure
lighting to climate control. When it comes to busbars,
clients can choose between Maxi-PLS and Flat-PLS.
Elpro opted for Maxi-PLS for the airport project, because
this variant is particularly well-suited to switchgear in
the heavy-current range. Maxi-PLS bars have a square
cross-section with T grooves on all four sides. As a
result, the connection system obviates the need for
time-consuming machining. Due to the sheer scale of
the airport site, large numbers of parallel cables needed
to be connected to the switchgear. With the Maxi-PLS
bars, this task was achieved in a compact, manageable
and time-effi cient manner.
Computer-assisted project planning using the Power
Engineering planning tool from Rittal likewise helped
Elpro to achieve high levels of effi ciency. The software
operates seamlessly with the CAE system from Elpro,
so that the enclosures could be confi gured on the PC
in a user-friendly manner. The related parts lists were
generated automatically. The switchgear is scheduled
to commence operation in spring 2010. The project ran
very smoothly, thanks to close collaboration within the
GU XII consortium. “The meticulously planned technology
behind the Ri4Power system was a signifi cant factor
here”, summarises Elpro project manager Martin Kopf.

and production of low-voltage switchgear in the GU XII
sub-project at Berlin Brandenburg International Airport.

Rittal at Frankfurt Rhine-Main Airport
Outstanding versatility
Hubert Grünewald, Head of Operations and Baggage Systems at Fraport, is a fi rm believer in the reliability of
Rittal solutions.
With more than 50 million passengers, Frankfurt
Airport is a global hub for international air traffi c. For
many years, its operator company Fraport has used
integrated system solutions from Rittal to ensure
the reliable functioning of various applications and
systems. A glimpse behind the scenes demonstrates
the diverse ways in which “Rittal – The System”
ensures uninterrupted operation at the airport,
both in baggage handling and in the data centre.
Right: Germany’s largest airport makes extensive use of Rittal system technology.
The baggage handling system at Frankfurt Airport
measures 73 kilometres. On peak days, it transports
up to 120,000 cases and bags. Technical malfunctions
must be avoided at all costs; and for this reason, Fraport
will only consider technology that guarantees maximum
availability. For example, Terminals 1 and 2 contain hundreds
of TS 8 enclosure systems and more than 300 CM
compact enclosures from Rittal. The modular systems
protect the control technology for the vast baggage
handling system.

In this way, Fraport achieves 99.65% availability. “This
high level of reliability is a major competitive advantage
for Frankfurt Airport”, comments Herbert Grünwald,
Head of Operations for Frankfurt baggage handling
systems.
The rollercoaster-like system connects Terminals 1 and
2 via a system of tunnels spanning several kilometres.
Baggage is transported in standardised containers.
A high-tech precision system with readers and scanners
transports containers quickly and reliably to their destination
via countless track switches. En route, they pass
through multi-level control systems, whereby every
container is automatically scanned by an X-ray unit.
The highly sensitive control electronics are housed in
TS 8 enclosures, as is the power distribution. Because
many of these components produce considerable
amounts of waste heat, the enclosures are equipped
with TopTherm cooling units from Rittal.
Rittal TS 8 enclosures and TopTherm cooling units in the
baggage handling system at Frankfurt Airport.
Unlike their “big brother” TS 8, the smaller CM compact
enclosures are used in a front line position, directly
adjacent to the conveyor belts. PLC outputs for sensors
and actuators are securely housed in these CM
enclosures. CM and TS 8 illustrate the comprehensive
system concept behind Rittal’s platform: The extensive
TS 8 assembly and accessory range may also be used
without restriction for CM.
Effective cooling
Rittal’s system concept is also highly effective when it
comes to upgrading existing enclosure systems, as
illustrated by the network station for Terminal 2 at
Frankfurt Airport, where all data, voice and video communication
converges: Over the years, more than
50 TS 8 racks had become ever more densely packed
with switches and network technology. Waste heat
levels increased rapidly; the thermometer in the network
room climbed to 40 degrees. Fraport came up with a

position, directly adjacent to the conveyor belts.

surprisingly simple solution which entailed retrofi tting an
LCP Extend climate control system from Rittal while the
system was operational. It consists of preassembled
climate control doors that are fi tted to the rear of the
rack in just a few actions. Its air/water heat exchanger
achieves a throughput of 3,000 cubic metres per hour,
and can withstand a total heat loss of up to 12 kW per
enclosure. A total of 16 TS 8 racks were upgraded using
LCP Extend. Since then, the room temperature has
remained constant at between 20 and 22 degrees.
Once again, Rittal has demonstrated how its integrated
system concept produces fast, pragmatic solutions, and
affords reliable protection for previous investments.
The entire communications technology for Terminal 2 is
housed in TS 8 racks. The excellent climate control is
achieved by numerous LCP Extend units in the form of
air/water heat exchangers.
The aircraft on the apron need a reliable power supply, ideally protected by enclosures from Rittal.

Rittal in the automobile industry
Prescribed as standard
The automobile industry is a key sector of the
German economy. German cars owe their market
success to the unremitting innovative strength of
Germany’s manufacturers and suppliers.
“Rittal – The System” has proven highly successful
throughout many sectors: from production control
and low-voltage power distribution, through to IT
networking.
Be it Volkswagen, Audi, Daimler, Opel, Ford, Porsche or
BMW – for years, Rittal has been a system supplier to
the German automobile industry. Enclosures, housings
and climate control solutions from Rittal have become
established as the standard throughout many areas of
the German auto sector. At international level, too, the
high-tech company from Herborn has secured its place
as the preferred supplier to many well-known brands,
When it comes to system solutions for enclosure and case technology, for many years, Rittal has been established as
the system supplier for all German car manufacturers – Volkswagen, Audi, Daimler, Opel, Ford, Porsche and BMW.

thanks primarily to the comprehensive and holistic
product portfolio from Rittal: from the TS 8 enclosure
system, to small and compact enclosures and operating
panels, through to power distribution and system climate
control. This is complemented by complete solutions for
energy-effi cient data centres. For example, Volkswagen
uses Rittal RimatriX5 for its IT systems in Russia, India,
Brazil and the USA.
Intelligent energy saving
Saving energy is the top priority for car manufacturers
worldwide. Concepts for reducing consumption and
emissions are aimed primarily at the infrastructures of
buildings, optimised production systems, and power
distribution. Intelligent system climate control is an
essential part of this. Rittal has undertaken long-term
testing of its TopTherm cooling technology on behalf
of various manufacturers, in order to verify the exceptionally
low consumption of its nano-coated (RiNano)
products, even in tough industrial environments. At one
German manufacturer’s dusty, oily brake pad production
plant, for example, cooling units from Rittal received
no servicing at all for a period of 14 months. During this
entire period, no dirt accumulated on the RiNano-coated
condensers. Cooling performance was not impaired,
and power consumption remained constant. However,
proven energy effi ciency is just one of the reasons why
countless production managers today prescribe nano-
Rittal technology – from enclosure to climate control
technology – is prescribed as standard throughout
virtually all applications of the German automotive
industry.
coating as a binding requirement for cooling units. Other
factors include savings in terms of maintenance and
material consumption, together with superior reliability
of controllers, thanks to stable enclosure temperatures.
From January to November 2009, the new energy-saving
cooling units Rittal Cool Effi ciency were tested by one of
these manufacturers under the extreme ambient conditions
of a pressing plant for a total of 45 weeks.
The result: With Cool Effi ciency, primary energy consumption
was cut by 70% compared with conventional
TopTherm cooling units, saving car manufacturers
almost 110 Euros per enclosure, per year. As there are
typically several hundred enclosures in use, this fi gure is
multiplied to a substantial fi ve-fi gure saving.
It is not just reduced petrol consumption that improves
a car’s eco-balance sheet, but also energy-effi cient,
resource-conserving production processes. With this
in mind, around 60 leading German manufacturers and
suppliers joined forces to create the “Green Carbody
Technologies” alliance. The initiative, which is supported
by the German Ministry for Education and Research,
focuses on innovative technologies and techniques for
bodywork manufacturing. Rittal’s expertise in the fi eld of
intelligent system climate control is one element of this.
The members of the alliance are aiming to double the
energy effi ciency of car production.
Solutions from Rittal range from TS 8, small and compact
enclosures and command panels, to power distribution
systems, through to complex system climate control
solutions.

Siemens WKC prefers “Rittal – The System”
Perfect production of
customised enclosures
Hans-Peter Kasparick, Head of Process Engineering and Systems Engineering, and Olaf Günther, Head of System
Solutions and Industrial Equipment, at Siemens WKC.
The vast majority of the 15,000 enclosures that leave
the Siemens plant in Chemnitz each year are manufactured
in small quantities. Consequently, super-effi -
cient, meticulously organised planning and production
processes are more important than ever. Only in this
way is it possible to guarantee delivery accuracy and
a high standard of quality. Siemens has been successfully
achieving this for the past 18 years with integrated
system solutions from its main and preferred
supplier, Rittal: beginning with the modular enclosure
system TS 8, via cooling and power distribution components,
through to innovative 3D development tools
from the Hessian-based high-tech company.
The Siemens combination engineering plant at Chemnitz
(Siemens WKC) develops and manufactures high-quality
individual enclosures for some 160 customers, predominantly
manufacturers of production and machine tools as
well as industrial transport systems. “We see ourselves,
not as enclosure manufacturers, but as engineering
partners and providers of system solutions”, says Olaf
Günther, Head of System Solutions and Industrial Equipment
at Siemens WKC. As such, the Chemnitz factory is
not a mass production plant, but a supplier of customised
solutions. Despite manufacturing to order, Siemens
WKC’s short delivery times and uncompromising quality
standards sets it apart from its competitors. To this end,

For switchgear engineering, 3D data from the Rittal
RiCAD-3D components library and EPLAN Cabinet is
used to plan the circuitry.
however, throughput times must be minimised and all
operations must dovetail seamlessly with one another.
For this reason, Siemens WKC uses integrated system
solutions from Rittal throughout every phase of development
and production.
Engineering tools for consistency
This even applies to engineering of the switchgear, which
is designed using EPLAN Cabinet from the Rittal RiCAD-
3D components library. Consistency throughout every
development phase is guaranteed by Rittal software
solutions, including their interfaces to EPLAN engineering
tools. The Rittal climate calculation tool Therm is likewise
integrated, enabling Siemens to perfectly dimension
the cooling unit technology for the 3D enclosure at a
virtual level. Computer-assisted engineering allows a
wide range of parameters to be effi ciently tested in
advance. All aspects requiring clarifi cation are resolved
at the development phase. The entire assembly may
be digitally simulated and checked for plausibility. In
this way, Siemens WKC not only saves on development
costs, but also shortens the process throughput time,
while at the same time ensuring that all components are
installed in line with the relevant standards.
As soon as the virtual enclosure is complete, machining
and routing follows. TS 8 enclosures from Rittal are supplied
just in time by the distribution and logistics centre
(VLC) in Gera, with premachining where appropriate. The
NC fi les supplied by EPLAN Cabinet allow the machines
at VLC to drill, punch or laser automatically at the correct
positions. Hence, Rittal is more than just a supplier
for Siemens WKC – it is also involved in process operations
from the outset.
In a subsequent stage, preassembled cable harnesses
are created using the routing module from EPLAN. This
means that precut and labelled cables are already
available in the correct lengths at the time of assembly,
leading to signifi cant production savings. Now the
engineers are ready for seamless assembly of the TS 8
enclosures with TopTherm cooling units.
Hans-Peter Kasparick, Head of Process Engineering and
Systems Engineering at Siemens WKC, explains: “One
of the main reasons why we use Rittal is the availability
of 3D data, the excellent links to engineering tools such
as EPLAN Cabinet and P8, and the project planning
support for climate control with user programs such as
Therm”.
Right: After assembly, the system is ready for testing. The electrical equipment is ready to “plug and play”.

Enclosures and cooling solutions in mechanical engineering
“Better milling” with
system solutions from Rittal
“Customers have certain expectations of Hermle, and Hermle has similar expectations of its suppliers. In Rittal, we have
found a technology partner on our own level”, says Manfred Schulz, Head of Procurement and Logistics at Hermle.
Milling machines from Hermle AG could well be
the best in the world. This precision manufacturer
has already installed more than 20,000 machines.
Hermle is a byword for precision, not just in Germany,
but worldwide, and throughout many key
industries. Its popularity is hardly surprising, since
Hermle knows what customers want: Precision is
paramount, followed by cost-effi ciency. Hermle
believes it is equally important to drive innovation
forwards, guided by the latest market trends. The
best way of achieving this is with powerful partners.
Consequently, Hermle has been relying on Rittal for
its enclosures and system climate control since the
Nineties.

TopTherm cooling units and recoolers are used for
enclosure and spindle cooling.
The medium-sized machinery plant Berthold Hermle
AG is based in Gosheim, an area with a long tradition
of precision technology and mechanical engineering.
High-performance machining centres for the complete
processing of a wide range of workpieces are produced
here, and used by numerous key industries, from medical
technology to motor sport. Quality is the single most
important customer requirement. “Even in three-shift
operation, our high-tech machines must still be capable
of producing top-class results that last for more than
ten years. That’s how long our products are generally
in use”, stresses Manfred Schulz, Head of Procurement
and Logistics at Hermle. Customers have certain expectations
of Hermle, and Hermle has similar expectations
of its suppliers. In Rittal, the company has found a technology
partner on its own level. “The quality is spot-on”,
says Schulz. The two medium-sized companies have
a lot in common: Both have secured leading market
positions through their own efforts. At both Hermle and
Rittal, the customer is pivotal to everything they do. And
both Hessian-based Herborn and Wuerttemberg-based
Gosheim are mass producers of quality.
The two companies collaborate closely, generally beginning
at the product conception stage. Although Rittal
supplies standard products, there are still countless
details to discuss when a new machining centre is being
launched on the market. Hermle has opted for the TS 8
series of enclosures from Rittal. Its modular principle
provides the ideal basis for individual solutions, and the

workpieces.
standardised platform concept allows Hermle to access
an extensive range of accessories. Climate control is
also a pivotal consideration: TopTherm cooling units
are used for enclosure and spindle cooling, as well as
recoolers with a cooling output of up to 12 kW. Energy
effi ciency is a major issue in this regard. “We have made
it our mission to conserve resources and offer energyeffi
cient products. In recent years, this has become an
important criterion. Choosing the right cooling unit is
crucial”, explains Schulz. Rittal is in complete agreement,
and is committed to the development of ever
more economical climate control units.
World-wide service
When it comes to service, speed is vital. Hermle offers
its customers a global service network, and draws on
resources from Rittal to achieve this. “If a malfunction
occurs in Brazil, our employees will collaborate with the
local Rittal service team to repair the machine as quickly
as possible”, explains Schulz.
Speed is also crucial for product development. In this
connection, Hermle has set itself a major challenge
for the future: “Our aim is to develop and market new
products even faster. We want to achieve a development
period of less than six months. We cannot achieve
this unless our suppliers are part of the team”, stresses
Schulz. Hermle and Rittal are planning to face up to this
exciting challenge on the basis of a successful partnership.

Karsten Scharte, Managing Director of ISAB Klitschmar GmbH, manufactures industrial switchgear for pumping
stations.
Enclosure technology in the water management industry
Replacing fi breglass with aluminium
In many areas of the water management industry,
optimum protection of the sensitive control
electro nics in pumps is crucial. Be it drinking water
processing, waste water treatment or groundwater
level measurement, the industry demands fl exible,
robust enclosure technology, particularly in outdoor
use along the water course. As a material, as well
as providing superior protection from the weather,
aluminium also offers greater fl exibility in the
customised production of switchgear.
ISAB Klitschmar GmbH manufactures industrial switchgear
for pumping stations, which are either massproduced
or supplied as customised units tailored to
the customer’s individual requirements. The company
specialises in control technology for the water and waste
water sector, and produces a wide range of solutions
for pumping stations and sewage plants, ranging from
the simple to the highly complex. At the company’s
headquarters in Wiedemar-Klischmar (Saxony), the team
designs and plans switchgear, from new circuit diagrams

through to detailed optimisation of pre-existing designs.
Rittal supplies the customised outdoor enclosures and
accessory components for interior installation, such as
compact enclosures, heaters, thermostats and enclosure
lights.
In the past, ISAB exclusively used fi breglass-reinforced
enclosures, but in 2009 it increasingly switched to aluminium
enclosures. This highly robust material is particularly
convincing for outdoor use. “Aluminium withstands
outdoor conditions much better than fi breglass – almost
permanently, primarily because of its resistance to UV
radiation”, explains Karsten Scharte, Managing Director
of ISAB. “Another advantage of aluminium is its fl exibility.
Enclosures in the required size may be built far more
quickly, whereas plastic relies on a lengthy and expensive
moulding process”. The Saxony-based switchgear manufacturers,
who operate both in Germany and internationally,
decided to work with Rittal for logistical reasons. The
standard enclosure from ISAB, which is used to house
around 80% of all pumps, is always in stock at Rittal’s
distribution and logistics centre in Gera, and can be
delivered to ISAB within one or two days. This, in turn,
benefi ts the customer as well: If necessary, a simple
Rittal supplies the customised outdoor enclosures and
accessory components for interior installation.
switchgear can be supplied and ready to use within just
three days. The standard delivery time is three weeks.
Everything fl ows
The range of applications for switchgear in the water
management industry are very diverse. The spectrum
ranges from power supply utilities such as local authority
water boards, to fountains in pedestrianised areas,
through to a variety of industrial processes where water
plays a decisive role. A range of instruments are needed
to control volumes, measure fl owrates or regulate infl ow
and outfl ow. Controller production and control technology
ensure that the fl ow of groundwater, sewage and
drinking water is uninterrupted. Depending on requirements,
these may either be simple pumping stations or
complex systems that control complex processes, such
as proportional infl ow rates.
In future, collaboration between ISAB and Rittal is set
to become even more intensive. ISAB is thinking of
ordering matching busbar systems from Rittal to complement
the fl exible aluminium enclosures and various
other components to protect the interior, fully in keeping
with the system concept.
In future, in addition to fl exible aluminium enclosures and
various components to protect the interior, the company
also plans to purchase matching busbar systems from
Rittal.
