Machining

Our enclosures are machine-finished on the premises. At BOPLA, we have an experienced workforce as well as state-of-the-art machines and systems. A combination that ensures you affordable production runs at a consistently high standard of quality.

Mechanical Processing

Our highly-qualified employees carry out processing for you on modern CNC machines and equipment. This ensures constant and even quality of work. In addition, the overall solution consisting of the enclosure and customer-specific processing results in optimal delivery times while reducing both the risk of rejects and transport costs.

Our range of services includes:

• drilling
• milling
• cutting
• punching
• thread-cutting

Cutting / Sawing

Using modern CNC machines and equipment, our highly-qualified and motivated employees saw extruded aluminium profiles in accordance with your specifications. This ensures optimal delivery times and a high level of quality for the products.

Ultrasonic Welding

We use a special ultrasonic welding method to join the plastic spacer pins to our enclosures.

All our plastic enclosures are equipped with bosses to fasten the mounting plates or PCBs. If you would like an additional fastening method at another position, then we can carry out this requirement by welding in a spacer pin.

Milling and Drilling

When processing plastic enclosures, it is essential that the tools be cooled only using oil-free air. Drilling, cooling and lubricating methods can all lead to stress cracks.

If silicone-based lubricants are used, then a downstream printing process is not possible due to the poor adhesive properties of the lacquer. If cases of doubt, we would be pleased to provide specific information.

When working with our milling machines and planning to make openings, you are advised to apply a general radius of 1.5 mm.

N.B.: Our processing service excludes any such risks.

Punching

When punching out plastic parts, crack formation and stress whitening at the corners can never be ruled out. The BOPLA processing service minimizes any such risk.

Glueing

The quality of any adhesive connection depends on the materials being glued, the size of the area to be glued and the glue itself.

Make sure to observe the following …

• Only glue parts made of the same materials.
• Aim for a glueing area as large as possible.
• Use suitable glues only. Observe any technical instructions.
• Before serial production, test the adhesive connection under operating conditions such as temperature, load etc.
