Streamline your next machine build with our comprehensive Equipment Housing Control Panel drawing. This free MechStream download is the all-in-one solution for machine builders, automation engineers, and system integrators. It merges two critical functions: a durable protective housing for sensitive electronics and an ergonomic, front-facing panel for operator controls. This design is the nerve center of any modern industrial machine.
Why design from scratch? This professional, fabrication-ready template saves you countless hours. It provides a robust enclosure designed to protect PLCs, VFDs, power supplies, and terminal blocks from the industrial environment. Simultaneously, it features a perfectly integrated operator interface, ready for your HMI, pushbuttons, and E-stop. This integrated approach ensures a cleaner, more professional, and space-saving machine design compared to using separate boxes.
Our download package includes fully editable DWG, DXF, and PDF formats, allowing you to instantly modify the design in your preferred CAD software. You can easily adjust the overall dimensions, customize the HMI and button layout, or change the mounting provisions to fit your specific application.

Key Features:
- Integrated Dual-Purpose Design: Combines a main electrical enclosure with an angled or flat operator control panel, reducing footprint and simplifying wiring.
- Fabrication-Optimized: Fully detailed for sheet metal manufacturing, including material specs, bend lines, and weld callouts for a robust build.
- HMI & Control Ready: The operator panel includes example cutouts for standard HMI touch screens, 22mm/30mm pushbuttons, and emergency stops.
- Internal Back-Panel: Features a removable internal back-plate design, allowing for easy assembly and mounting of DIN rails, PLCs, and other components.
- Designed for Industrial Use: Includes details for gasket seals on doors and access panels, providing a design basis for NEMA or IP-rated protection against dust and moisture.
