CNC Machined Aluminum Enclosure for 5G Equipment
Global Telecommunications Equipment Manufacturer, China
CNC machined aluminum RF enclosure for 5G equipment, covering integrated heat-sink features, sealing surfaces, mounting details, and anodizing.
Account owner: PiPrecision Engineering Team
The Challenge
The RF enclosure combined structural, mounting, and sealing features in a component intended for telecommunications equipment. The project considered replacing a multi-part construction with a machined aluminum enclosure containing integrated heat-sink features.
The machining review needed to address access between the fins, the surfaces used to join the cover, and the mounting features for the internal assembly. Enclosure-level cooling, shielding, and ingress protection also depend on the complete assembly and its test conditions.
Our Solution
The proposed single-piece construction was approached as an aluminum CNC milling task, with the enclosure geometry, heat-sink features, and sealing surfaces considered in the machining sequence. Finishing requirements were reviewed together with the mating surfaces and dimensions affected by anodizing.
Dimensional inspection addresses the manufactured enclosure against its drawing. The customer’s assembly test plan defines the thermal, shielding, and ingress-protection requirements, while the component drawing defines dimensional acceptance of the enclosure.
