How Electronics Machining Makes Our Modern Lives Possible
CNC processes are an indispensable technology for crafting modern electronics
“CNC machining” may inspire vague images of large industrial equipment and similarly nondescript contraptions. But the fruits of this mechanical labor are apparent in every electrical household item and convenience, like the TVs that keep us entertained and the HVAC that keeps us comfortable.
And like the electronics industry itself, Beltim & Associates is constantly evolving to provide you with the highest quality services and versatility. Through computer-aided design (CAD), we can model prototypes, make any desired alterations, and test them through 3D visualizations that let us (and you) know what to expect from the finished product.
How our machining techniques make modern conveniences (and entertainments) possible
Our advanced manufacturing processes and expertise allow the unerring precision needed when crafting the delicate, ever-smaller, and more sophisticated electrical components that power every modern industry. Like the indispensable semiconductors that have replaced the much larger vacuum tubes of yesteryear. Semiconductors power our phones, domestic appliances, and computerized or radiofrequency-enabled gadgets.
CNC processes also provide an equally essential and unappreciated common component: the printed circuit boards (PCBs) that serve as conductive pathways in a wide range of electronics. Machining is also replacing the PCB-manufacturing chemical baths—a metal-etching technique dating to (at least) the Middle Ages. As with many older technologies, chemical processes are toxic and create tough-to-dispose-of waste, so good riddance!
Machining also shapes the heat sinks necessary to protect electronic devices from overheating. These sinks require an extensive surface area-per-volume to dissipate heat, but devising and replicating these complex geometries is no problem thanks to CNC fabrication.
Ironically, we don’t think much of all these irreplaceable technologies due to another machining product: the multi-form covers, cases, and other external components that hide and guard the intricate electrical innards.
