Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What material is used for the 5G base station outdoor cover?
The cover is manufactured from high-quality aluminum alloy (ADC12) via an 800T die casting machine. This material offers superior strength, structural integrity, and exceptional durability in harsh outdoor environments.
Q2: How does the cover perform in terms of thermal management?
The high thermal conductivity of the aluminum alloy allows for highly efficient heat dissipation. This prevents the internal components of the 5G base station from overheating, ensuring optimal performance and connectivity.
Q3: What manufacturing standards are followed during CNC machining?
Our CNC machining processes the end faces of the inner cavity, heat dissipation tooth surfaces, and through holes. We ensure a surface finish of Ra0.8 and maintain tight tolerances. Deburring is performed to ensure smooth R corners and no sharp edges.
Q4: How is the surface protected against outdoor corrosion?
We apply a specialized powder spraying process. The coating is thoroughly inspected using film thickness meters, colorimeters, salt spray testers, and cross-cut (hundred grid) test tools to verify uniform coverage, adhesion, and corrosion resistance.
Q5: What quality control inspections are carried out before shipping?
Every batch goes through a stringent QC workflow, including IPQC inspections at critical process stages, 100% appearance checks, FQC inspection of dimensions and threads using calibrated tools, and final OQC shipping audits to ensure alignment with customer requirements.
Q6: How are the products packaged to prevent damage during transit?
Products are packed using custom cartons, dividers (knife cards), bubble wrap, and desiccant. The parts are placed carefully inside the card structure and protected with flat cardboard layers to avoid surface scratches or physical deformation during transport.
