Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q What material is used for the 5G base station cover, and what are its key properties?
The cover is made from high-quality aluminum (specifically ADC12 alloy). It provides exceptional strength, durability, and corrosion resistance, ensuring robust, long-lasting performance even in harsh outdoor environments.
Q How does the aluminum cover handle heat dissipation?
Due to the high thermal conductivity of the aluminum material, the cover offers excellent thermal management. It enables highly efficient heat dissipation to prevent overheating, which ensures the optimal and stable performance of the internal base station components.
Q What inspection processes are implemented to guarantee dimensional accuracy?
Dimensional accuracy is verified at multiple stages (including IPQC, FQC, and OQC) using precise measuring tools such as calipers, projection systems, three-dimensional coordinates, needle gauges, and thread/tooth gauges to check dimensions against engineering drawings.
Q How is the quality of the powder-coated surface inspected and verified?
The powder-coated surfaces undergo extensive inspection using tools like film thickness meters, colorimeters, salt spray testers, cross-hatch (hundred grid) tools, alcohol resistance test setups, and pencil hardness testers to ensure uniform coloring, proper thickness, and no surface defects.
Q What are the specifications and quality requirements for the glue dispensing process?
Glue is dispensed symmetrically centered on defined rib areas, with a target width and height of 1.0±0.1mm. The strips must be completely uniform, free of breakage, overflow, bubbles, or peeling, and must meet strict requirements for adhesive strength.
