Cheval Electronic Enclosure Co., Ltd
Cheval Electronic Enclosure Co., Ltd, or "CE"", is Cheval's corporate headquarters and provides other services. The 5,000 square
meter facility is Cheval's warehouse and logistic center for both the Thailand and overseas 19" rack market. Racks are assembled,
configured as needed and dispatched to clients. CE also produces most of Cheval's tooling requirements from our in house tool room and
stamping parts from our power press lines. CE was established in 1987 and is located just outside Bangkok in the Bangplee Industrial
Estate
Cheval achieves high volume, quality production and cost effective production using a flexible manufacturing system combining CNC operations with power press stamping. Our three facilities are geographically separated providing both capacity and redundancy.
Our facilities currently occupy about 24,000 sq. meters (258,000 sq ft) out of total 103,000 sq meters (1.1 million sq ft) of available area. Cheval uses the latest technology and has over 42 Amada CNC turret punching and CNC bending machines, which offer opportunities for added-value and customization. Our manufacturing facilities, equipment and services are designed and tailored to meet customer requirements. With our facilities and people, Cheval has the experience and capacity to support the most challenging programs.
CNC Laser Cutters and Punching Machines
CNC Laser Cutting and Punching Machines add flexibility
to our manufacturing capability. Cheval uses the latest
"Amada" brand CNC machines for both short run batches
and mass production. For special components where
traditional tooling is not a good option, our CNC laser
machines provide the answer.
High Efficiency Panel Benders
CNC Panel Bender delivers high volume and consistent
bends for side panels.
CNC Bending lines
CNC Bending lines provide the bulk of our bending capacity.
Power Press Machines
Power Press Machines from 45 to 300 tons gives us the high volume capacity for a cost effective solution. We have both manual and progressive punching lines. Most tools are made in house for the power press and CNC presses.
Welding
Cheval utilizes many types of welding, including robotic
lines for MIG, and manual stations for hand TIG, Spot and
CD stud welding.
Electro-Static Powder Coating Line
We do all our own Powder Coating in house. Our lines
start with environmentally friendly 5 stage Iron Phosphate
pre-treatment with de-ionized water rinse. After the
powder coating is complete, a rigorous system of QA
checks verifies the correct finish. Our in house corrosion
lab tests every paint batch to 500 hours salt spray test
under ASTM-D610-01 and ASTM-B117.
Electroplating Factory
The 1,125 square meter factory currently consists of Zinc Barrel Plating and Zinc Rack Plating lines which are capable of plating parts as small as 1 mm-diameter up to 2,200 mm-long parts. The completely automatic line ensures quality and consistent results through a process that takes around 1 hour depending on the particular parts being plated.
Future projects for the plating line include Ni plating and Anodizing for aluminum parts. And in following our strict internal
environmental standards, water and air treatment are strictly implemented and monitored.
Cheval can improve your margins by providing assembly
and integration for your products. We offer mechanical
assembly, sub assembly integration and finished product
packaging, all to your specifications. This can reduce
the time you need to invest to get your product to market.
We export to all corners of the world and our customer
service is experienced in getting the products where you
want them.
Our standard flat pack design allows cost effective quantities to be loaded in every container keeping the total cost of ownership low.
Quality Assurance and Testing
Cheval firmly believes that our products should exceed our clients expectations. To achieve this goal, we have developed rigorous testing and quality assurance systems. We undergo regular audits from third party inspectors, but more importantly, by our clients and consistently achieve excellent results.
All three of our facilities are certified to ISO 9001:2015 and 14001:2015 and we use RoHS compliant materials. We have developed in process monitoring systems for both product compliance and process control. Clients can request data from their production batch. Standard paint inspection process uses photo spectrometer reading to measure color, (L.a.b.), gloss meter, thickness meter, M.E.K. ruboff tests, cross hatch adhesion, impact and hardness tests.
Testing is critical to ongoing production and product development. Cheval has developed and performs many in house tests such as:
Load tests for enclosures, both static and dynamic.
Load tests for casters, both static and dynamic.
Water ingress test facility for outdoor cabinets.
Salt spray chamber to verify paint integrity.
We also work with third party facilities such as Met Labs and UL.
Load Testing
Cheval tests the load (weight bearing) capacity of all our products. These tests are designed
to determine upper limits to the amount of weight a particular product can safely and
functionally support. We use both third party (UL) standards plus have developed our
own tests to ensure your safety and our product quality
Cheval rack load tests under two conditions, static and dynamic. Static tests are conducted
with the rack standing still. The specified weight is uniformly distributed on shelves in the
test rack. Different forces are then exerted on the rack, measurements are taken of specific
locations and compared to measurements taken of the same locations before the load.
Dynamic tests will physically move the rack some distance while under load. Depending on the requirements, specific obstacles may
or may not be part of the rolling test. We also perform drop tests and tilt tests. Client specific requirements can be performed as well.
Caster Testing Method
Drop test, Dynamic test and Impact test machines for Casters testing method.
Drop test
Dynamic test
Impact test
Lab Testing
We have a corrosion lab equipped with a salt spray chamber for testing painted panels
from every production batch. The panels are placed in the chamber and exposed for
500 hours. Then the panels are inspected according to ASTM-D610-01 and ASTM-B117.
Adhesion, impact, hardness and curing are also tested in the lab.
Our materials lab tests tensile strength, hardness and deformation properties of components and materials.
