1. CNC Machining for Aluminum Enclosures

Our Aluminum CNC Machining services are ideal for structural or protective enclosures used in electronics, sensors, and industrial assemblies. From thin-wall designs to tight flatness requirements, we manufacture cases that look great and function reliably.

• Supports 6061, 5052, 7075, ADC12, and more
• Wall thickness down to 0.8mm
• ±0.01mm flatness on critical surfaces

2. Optimized for Lightweight and High Strength

● Thin-Wall Pocket Milling

We reduce enclosure weight without sacrificing strength using precision pocketing, honeycomb or skeleton structures, and high-speed machining.

● Built-In Threading & Insert Design

Bosses, counterbores, and helicoil-ready threads are machined directly into the housing—no secondary setup or inserts required.

3. CNC Enclosure Case Study: Wall-Mounted Power Box

Project Description

A German industrial automation company required 3,000 wall-mounted control unit housings made from 6061 aluminum, with internal slot rails, gasket grooves, and flush mounting holes. Surface finish: bead blast + black anodizing.

Production Workflow

• ① Machining Plan: Top & bottom covers milled separately with matching hole alignment; zero warping across 210mm length.
• ② Surface Treatment: Bead-blasting done prior to anodizing to achieve uniform matte finish.
• ③ Flatness Control: Custom vacuum fixtures used to hold base for high-accuracy contour passes.
• ④ 100% Thread Checking: All M4 and M5 threaded holes checked with go/no-go gauges before final pack-out.
• ⑤ Packaging: Bubble-wrapped with QR-coded label for traceability, 20 pcs per carton.

4. Applications for CNC-Machined Aluminum Housings

• Consumer electronics enclosures
• Battery modules and power banks
• Sensor and signal converter shells
• Automotive ECUs and junction boxes

5. Surface Finishing Options

We support a wide range of cosmetic and functional coatings:

• Anodizing (clear, black, red, blue, hard anodizing)
• Powder coating, electrophoresis
• Laser marking for serial codes, logos, barcodes
• Brushing, polishing, sandblasting

6. CNC FAQs – Focused on Enclosure Parts

● Can you machine both the enclosure and cover?

Yes, and we ensure tolerance alignment between parts. We also test full assembly before packaging upon request.

● What is your maximum part size for aluminum shells?

We can machine aluminum housings up to 600mm in length and 400mm in width, depending on structure and tolerance.

● Are your parts suitable for outdoor use?

Yes. We offer sealing grooves, corrosion-resistant coatings, and aluminum alloys with high weatherability like 5052-H32 and 6063-T6.

7. IP, Design, and Your Drawings Are Secure

We sign NDAs and restrict file access to internal teams only. We also offer assistance in DFM for aesthetic + functional balance on housing parts.
