PRECISION METAL FABRICATION OF STACKABLE ANECHOIC ENCLOSURES FOR WIRELESS & RF TEST EQUIPMENT

Fabco Manufacturing, Inc. was contracted by a customer to perform custom fabrication services and perform a manufacturability study on their wireless and radio frequency (RF) test equipment, reviewing and recommending design changes as we deemed necessary. The prototypes we provided were of superior quality and functionality, leading to a production contract with the customer. The project highlighted here is the stackable anechoic RF test enclosure, designed to provide a cost effective solution for the customer’s specific testing requirements. The enclosure is composed of 14ga and 16ga cold rolled steel, which is formed with shearing, punching, metal forming, TIG welding, grinding, and stud welding processes to meet the required contours. A protective zinc plating treatment and powder coating is applied, and the part was completed with hardware insertions. First article testing is carried out to ensure quality and accuracy, and we provide a certificate of compliance for documented conformity.

Measurements of the finished enclosure are 24” in width, 24” in depth, and 36” in height. This project was finished after a 3 week turnaround time, and 5 units are produced per week for international release.
