Frequently Asked Questions

  • What housings can you machine?

    Analyzer cases, equipment base plates, sensor bodies, display bezels, control panels and custom enclosures from aluminum, stainless, brass and engineering plastics.

  • What tolerances do you hold on housing fits and mounting features?

    ±0.005mm on critical dimensions — bore fits, mounting hole patterns and sealing grooves — verified on Zeiss CMM with full report.

  • Can you machine thin-wall enclosures without distortion?

    Yes. Stress-relieved stock, balanced material removal and low-stress finishing keep thin-wall housings flat and dimensionally stable.

  • What surface finishes do you apply to instrument housings?

    Anodizing (Types II/III) for aluminum, powder coating, bead blasting, passivation for stainless — per your cosmetic and functional spec.

  • Can you machine PEEK and other plastics for sensor parts?

    Yes. PEEK, POM and PC are machined with controlled process to hold tolerances without melting or burrs.

  • What is your lead time for housing prototypes?

    5–7 business days for prototypes, 3–5 months for production runs. Rush available for critical milestones.

Buyer's Guide

  • How to Request a Quote for Instrument & Sensor Housings

    Send the drawing with: material, cosmetic finish, sealing or IP rating needs, insert/thread locations, and quantity. Cosmetic requirements affect finish pricing.

  • Material Selection Guide

    Aluminum 6061/6063 for weight and anodizing, stainless 304/316L for durability and hygiene, brass for RF shielding needs, plastics for insulation and cost.

  • DFM Tips for Enclosures

    Design wall thickness for stability, specify corner radii for tooling, and consolidate thread inserts and standoffs into the machining plan to reduce assembly cost.

  • Quality & Inspection

    CMM inspection with full report, Cpk ≥ 1.33, free FAI, material certs available. Cosmetic surface checks per your AQL.

  • Lead Time & Shipping

    Prototypes 5–7 business days, production 3–5 months. DDP door-to-door with one invoice — export, customs, duties, last-mile.
