Aluminium Die Casting

For Whom Do We Supply Aluminium Die Casting Parts?

Whether established market leaders or innovative start-ups, anyone who needs die-cast parts for their electronics depends on reliable professional support. The focus is not only on the design of the enclosures – details such as service life, application area, protection against water ingress, ease of electronics assembly, and an appropriate price all strongly influence the final product and its market success.

Successfully Avoiding Stumbling Blocks

In the production of die-cast aluminium parts, the metal is introduced into a die-casting tool under high pressure and at a defined speed.

However, what sounds simple conceals numerous challenges. To achieve high product quality and a long mould service life while remaining cost-efficient, many factors must be considered from the early stages of enclosure design and mould construction. For example, optimum stability and shape retention with minimal material consumption is attained by maintaining uniform wall thicknesses and avoiding large surfaces and material accumulations. The choice of alloy also plays a decisive role. Minimising large radii and undercuts, as well as planning demoulding chamfers for easier removal of the finished enclosures, extends the mould’s lifespan, facilitates handling, and reduces process costs. With us, you have an experienced partner who understands and overcomes the challenges of the die casting process.

Services and Process Flow

We Deliver Custom-designed Enclosures from Concept to Final Assembly

Concept

In the concept phase, we work with you to define the requirements for your enclosure. These include functions, budget, cost-effectiveness, area of application and installation space. We discuss with you what we can do for you and which work steps you want to take over. Experience has shown that a holistic approach to design, manufacturing and assembly reduces overall production costs.

Conception

Product Design

An appealing design makes up the emotional value of a product. We pay attention to manufacturability and cost-effectiveness for volume production as early as the enclosure design phase. It makes sense to get involved with product design while the electronics are still being developed.

Engineering

Our engineers develop your enclosure according to your requirements and create the technical drawings and 3D CAD models. You have already started with the design and development? No problem. We support you in every way. Because with 40 years of experience in enclosure engineering, we know how to efficiently develop enclosure solutions for series production.

Rapid Prototyping

Whether illustrative models, prototypes for functional testing, pilot series or exclusive small series for field tests ‒ depending on the purpose, surface finish, accuracy, quantity and material, we select the appropriate 3D printing process and produce your 3D prototype. Fast, cost-effective, tailored to your needs.

Tool Making

Tooling determines the shape and quality of enclosures. With over 40 years of expertise in enclosure manufacturing and global tooling sourcing within the Phoenix Mecano Group, we can always guarantee the required tooling quality at reasonable prices.

Toolmaking for enclosures

Series production

We can use the Phoenix Mecano Group's cost-effective production facilities for the production of enclosures. Variant production, finishing and assembly are then carried out in Switzerland. In this way, we are able to guarantee you high flexibility in order quantities and short delivery times. The "One Piece Flow" in our production reduces stock quantities to a minimum and allows us to manufacture individual product variants at short notice.

Procurement of electronics and components

As a supplier of fully assembled devices and assemblies, we are also happy to take care of the procurement of electronics and components to be assembled. This ensures a simple, smooth procurement process and relieves your resources.

Assembly and functional testing

Our services are not limited to the production and delivery of housings. We can do more for you: If you wish, we can also take care of the assembly of the complete device, including function tests and packaging. Whether integration of membrane keypad, display or touch screen, installation of PCBs or electronics - on our LEAN assembly workstations we assemble both small and large series efficiently and "just-in-time" in one-piece flow.

Packaging and logistics

We support you in the complete storage and logistics process. Starting with the concept, through the design, to the procurement of the packaging. We focus on your requirements - whether mass packaging or final packaging with instruction leaflet, power supply and cable. The shipping can be handled with your papers directly to your customers worldwide.
