Why Choose the nVent HOFFMAN MPCS163 Base Console?
The nVent HOFFMAN MPCS163 is a robust and versatile stainless steel base console enclosure designed for industrial control, automation and human-machine interface installations. As part of the nVent HOFFMAN MPCS modular console system, it provides a spacious floor-standing base section that can be combined with compatible MPCS desk and top sections to create a complete industrial operator console.
Manufactured from AISI 304 stainless steel, the MPCS163 combines corrosion resistance with excellent mechanical durability for demanding industrial environments. Its folded and seam-welded construction incorporates an integrated base that provides clearance between the floor and the lower edge of the doors, while the supplied mounting plate provides a substantial internal surface for electrical, control and automation components.
With dimensions of 700 mm high × 1600 mm wide × 500 mm deep and an IP55 protection rating, the MPCS163 provides effective protection against dust and water ingress. Its wide double-door configuration, 470.5 mm usable depth and generous mounting area make it particularly suitable for larger industrial control and process-automation installations.
