The precision manufacturing process for mechanical keyboard aluminum enclosures typically includes the following key steps:
Design and planning: The first step is to design in detail according to the product requirements. This step includes the use of CAD (computer aided design) software to create a 3D model of the product. Designers need to consider the overall structure of the keyboard, size, key layout and other factors.
Material selection: For aluminum enclosures, it is very important to choose the right aluminum alloy material. Commonly used aluminum alloy types are 6061 and 7075, etc. These materials have good mechanical properties and processing properties.
Cutting molding: The use of CNC (computer digital control) machine tools to accurately cut the selected aluminum. In this process, the designed 3D model is converted into the operation instructions that can be recognized by the machine tool through programming, so as to achieve automatic processing.
Surface treatment: In order to enhance the corrosion resistance and beauty of the aluminum shell, it is usually treated. Common treatment methods include anodizing, sandblasting, polishing, etc. Anodizing can not only increase the surface hardness, but also provide a variety of color options.
Pre-assembly treatment: Before the final assembly, some details of the housing may also need to be treated, such as drilling, tapping, etc., in order to facilitate the subsequent installation of electronic components.
Quality inspection: After the completion of all manufacturing processes, strict quality inspection of the finished product is required to ensure that each part meets the specifications. This includes dimensional accuracy inspection, appearance defect detection, etc.
Assembly and testing: The final step is to assemble all the components together and perform functional testing to ensure that each key is working properly.
The entire manufacturing process emphasizes high precision and high quality standards to guarantee the stability and durability of the final product. In addition, with the advancement of technology, the application of intelligent manufacturing technology has also further improved production efficiency and product quality.
