VF Elettrica

Industrial electrical panels built to customer specification

Automation, distribution, control, inverters and drives. Designed, wired and tested at our facilities, delivered with complete documentation.

Panel building

What we build

VF Elettrica builds electrical panels for machine builders and manufacturing plants, either to the customer's schematic or to one drawn up by our engineering office:

  • Automation and control panels — PLC, HMI, machine logic, functional safety.
  • Low-voltage distribution panels — power supply to lines and departments, protection and isolation.
  • Inverter and drive panels — motors, servo drives, panel thermal management.
  • Panels for complete machines — the panel as part of a machine-side wiring supply or of contract machine assembly.

From a one-off panel to a repeat series: for OEMs producing in series we maintain the bills of materials, schematics and build standards that keep every panel identical, order after order.

How we work

  1. 01 Assessment — review of the schematic, bill of materials and customer specification. Where no schematic exists, our engineering office develops it in EPLAN Electric P8 or SPAC.
  2. 02 Procurement — components from the brands specified by the customer or, where there are no constraints, from the brands we use as standard.
  3. 03 Build — enclosure, component mounting, wiring and labelling to the schematic, with traceability of components and checks from order to delivery. Every panel has one operator accountable for it and an intermediate check before testing, with progress updates to the customer during the build.
  4. 04 Testing — functional and electrical safety checks with dedicated instrumentation, to the applicable standards.
  5. 05 Delivery — the panel with as-built schematics, declaration of conformity and technical file. On request, installation and commissioning at the customer's site.

Conformity and documentation

Every panel ships with a declaration of conformity and CE marking to the standards applicable to the panel type, including the verifications required by CEI EN 61439 for distribution assemblies. For machines destined for the United States and Canada we build panels compliant with UL 508A and CSA C22.2: that service is described on its own page.

Why build your panel with VF Elettrica

  • In-house production — design, build and testing at the same facilities, with a single order manager.
  • In-house engineering office — schematics that can be changed and kept up to date without going through third parties.
  • Integration with the mechanical scope — panel, wiring and machine assembly can be a single supply.
  • Series and repeatability — build standards maintained for recurring orders.

Industries we serve

We work with manufacturing companies across a range of industries. Among the sectors we most frequently collaborate with are, for example:

  • ·Packaging — automatic machines, filling and end-of-line systems
  • ·Food & Beverage — plants with IP65+ requirements, stainless steel and hygiene compliance
  • ·Automotive and components — assembly, testing and functional test lines
  • ·Wood and furniture — CNC machining centres, painting lines and extraction systems
  • ·Chemical and pharmaceutical — ATEX environments, GAMP compliance and IQ/OQ documentation

Where

Panels are built at the San Vendemiano (TV) and Romans d'Isonzo (GO) facilities. Customers in Veneto, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Emilia-Romagna and Lombardia; delivery and installation throughout Italy.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about industrial electrical panels

Do you build only to the customer's schematic, or without one?

Both. If the customer supplies the schematic we follow it exactly; if there is none, our in-house engineering office develops it in EPLAN or SPAC from the functional specification.

Can I specify the component brands?

Yes. We build with the components the customer requires, including where these are fixed by the end customer's specification. Where there are no constraints, we propose the brands we use as standard.

Do you also install the panel on the machine?

Yes, through our machine-side wiring service: the panel is installed, connected and commissioned by our technicians at the customer's site.

What documentation comes with the panel?

As-built schematics, declaration of conformity, test report and a technical file with the component list.

Do you handle repeat panel builds for series production?

Yes. For OEMs producing in series we keep the bills of materials, schematics and build standards on file, so every panel is identical to the last and lead times can be planned.

Do the panels ship with CE marking?

Yes, CE marking (Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU and EMC Directive 2014/30/EU) is standard on every panel. It covers the technical file, the declaration of conformity, the verifications required by CEI EN 61439 and documented functional testing. UL and CSA conformity for the North American market is available on request.

How long does an electrical panel take to build?

Lead time depends on the complexity of the panel. A standard panel takes 2-4 weeks from order confirmation; complex panels requiring dedicated design work take 4-8 weeks. We provide a binding schedule at order.

Do you also build panels for the North American market?

Yes, compliant with UL 508A and CSA C22.2. The process and requirements are described on the dedicated UL/CSA panels page.

Have a panel you need built?

Send us the schematic and bill of materials, or the machine specification: we will come back with lead times and a clear quotation.
