More information

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.

 

Assembly, Integration and Supply Line Support

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.
