CNC Machining Process for RF Aluminum Enclosures
All RF enclosures are machined from solid aluminum billets, ensuring superior precision, shielding continuity, and structural consistency compared to die casting or sheet metal fabrication.Core Machining Capabilities:
3-Axis and 4-Axis CNC Milling
Multi-face machining with controlled re-fixturing
Deep pocket and multi-cavity internal structures
Precision RF compartment partitioning
Dense hole patterns for connectors and modules
Threading, counterboring, and sealing groove machining
Typical machining tolerance: ±0.01 mm, with tighter tolerances available for critical RF interfaces.
Selecting the right material is critical for RF performance and structural reliability. We primarily machine RF enclosures using:
Aluminum 6061-T6 (most commonly used), Excellent electrical conductivity, stable mechanical properties, and outstanding CNC machinability.
Aluminum 6082-T6 / 5052 (optional for corrosion resistance)
Aluminum 7075-T6 (f…
