CNC Machined Housings and Enclosures

A housing sets the geometry for everything that goes inside it: bore alignment, sealing faces, thread depth and wall consistency. When the housing is off, no amount of adjustment downstream will save the assembly.

Why ProtoTech

Why equipment manufacturers choose us

Faces that seal

Flat sealing surfaces and consistent thread depth — the details that decide whether a gasket or O-ring actually works.

Bores that line up

Multi-face features machined in one 5-axis setup so bores stay aligned across the part.

Wall thickness under control

Thin-wall and deep-pocket geometries machined without distortion, then CMM verified.

How we work

From Drawing to Delivered Part

A transparent, engineering-led process built for long-term supply programs — not one-off transactions.

1

Submit & Review

Send drawings and program context. Our engineers run a DFM review and flag tolerances, materials and risk before any cutting begins.

2

Quote & Material Plan

You receive a transparent quote plus a material-verification plan — grade, EN/DIN check and certificate strategy for your application.

3

Machine & Inspect

In-house precision machining, then Zeiss CMM dimensional inspection and spectrometer material verification on critical batches.

4

Deliver & Support

Kitted, ESD-safe or cleanroom packaging, with local engineering and after-sales support through our German partner.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Yes — sealing faces, groove geometry and thread depth are machined and inspected deliberately, because that is where housings usually fail.
Simultaneous 5-axis machining completes multiple faces in one setup, removing the fixture changes that create misalignment.
Aluminum for weight and thermal behavior, stainless for corrosion and wear, PEEK where chemical resistance or electrical isolation matters — we discuss the trade-off in the DFM review.
