By using a CNC aluminum enclosure, you can avoid the limitations of off-the-shelf aluminum enclosures. At Xiehe, we offer custom aluminum alloy enclosures. This gives you the opportunity to customize the shape, hole, size, appearance and fixing points. All in all, we tailor them to your ideal needs. These advantages do not require sacrificing the ability of the equipment to avoid wear. At Xiehe we offer a wide range of services at the best prices. One of these services involves the fabrication of CNC aluminum alloy enclosures. Here's everything you need to know about the service.

What products can be produced by CNC aluminum casing?

The aluminum housing provides excellent security as the material is durable and stable. In addition, it has other beneficial mechanical properties. This includes corrosion resistance and is also easy to machine. Furthermore, its light weight allows us to further process it by hardening and coating. These fine properties have enabled us to find many uses in a range of industries. The following are the most typical uses for CNC aluminum housings.

Medical equipment

Customers who order medical devices usually have high standards. This contributes to the reliability of the final device. One requirement is that medical devices must have high-end housings. We routinely machine medical devices from blocks of aluminum. This is due to aluminum's excellent corrosion resistance and high strength-to-weight ratio. We can use Alloys 6061, 3003 and 6063 for aluminum housings. Custom CNC aluminum alloy casing protects medical equipment from external forces. We use it when packaging ventilators, imaging equipment, and heart monitors. Also, we use it in the case of handheld medical devices.

Electronic product

Most companies dealing in electronic products choose CNC aluminum alloy casing. This is because they are easy to design and offer custom specifications. This allows us to provide aesthetics while keeping its protective function intact. There are a series of CNC aluminum alloy casings used in the field of consumer electronics. It may come in the form of tablet bodies, phone cases, and laptop cases. Examples of handheld devices include power bank cases and remote controls.

Industrial tool aluminum alloy shell

Industrial tools usually have very demanding security requirements. The enclosure must be able to withstand abnormal environments. These include conditions of high temperature, severe corrosion and severe wear. The CNC machined aluminum alloy shell has the best toughness, so it is durable. This makes it ideal for industrial settings. Additionally, they are ideal for precise use where tolerance requirements are critical. Some examples of CNC aluminum enclosures in industrial settings include control panels. We also find it in solar battery storage. Additionally, they provide natural EM shielding in electrical assemblies.

What is processing technology?

Basically, we start any process by designing CAD software. We then machine to create a CNC program and then select the ideal alloy for machining. Our experts can customize designs to any extent as long as we can process them. Once the design is ready, we move on to preparing the CNC program. The material we will continue to use is usually raw aluminum blocks. The type of aluminum alloy depends on the range of functions our customers require. We can also take into account any additional machining processes we have to account for.

After finishing the preparation, we can enter the processing stage. Our experts often choose CNC milling when machining aluminum housings. We use a range of end mills when cutting slots, grooves and profiles in aluminum blocks. Additionally, we use taps and drills to create threaded and clearance holes. After finishing the machining stage, we have the option to go through the deburring process. It depends on customer's needs. Deburring helps smooth and remove metal shavings.

After that, we proceed to the secondary processing process. It helps to further harden the crust and give the right finish. Here's a closer look at some common aluminum finishes.

Powder coating involves the use of powder coatings. The paint is a powdered resin, making it resin free. It is more durable than ordinary liquid paint.

Anodizing. This process involves immersing the aluminum shell in an acid-base electrolyte. It leads to the formation of a protective oxide on the aluminum surface. This allows it to maintain its metallic luster and add vibrant color.

What are the advantages of CNC machining aluminum alloy casing?

Customization capability - this is the main advantage of CNC aluminum enclosures. It allows us to come up with designs of any shape, size or profile.

Accuracy and precision - the CNC aluminum housing is famous for it. As a result, we are able to meet the needs of devices that require tight tolerances, such as medical and aerospace equipment.

Reliable and Durable – Aluminum has high tensile strength, making it rigid enough to withstand high impacts.
