Why Manufacturing is Critical in the Automation Industry
Automation equipment must operate continuously under load, vibration, heat, and mechanical stress, where even small dimensional deviations can affect motion accuracy and system stability. High-quality manufacturing is therefore essential to ensure precise component alignment, reliable installation of motors and sensors, and consistent performance across production runs. This is why automation manufacturers rely on CNC machining, die casting, sheet metal fabrication, and aluminum extrusion to produce dependable custom parts from prototyping to scalable production.

Advanced Equipment
We use GROB, GF Mikron, Jingdiao 5-axis, and Haas 4-axis machines, achieving tolerances as tight as ±0.0015 mm for precise, high-quality components.
Engineering Support
Our experienced engineers provide design feedback, DFM analysis, and project oversight to ensure every component is manufacturable, meets specifications, and performs reliably.
Automation Prototyping & New Product Development
Rapid prototyping plays a critical role in the automation industry. Before a system goes into production, engineers must verify mechanical fit, motion accuracy, structural strength, and assembly compatibility.
Rapid Prototyping
Bring your early-stage automation designs to life with prototypes produced strictly according to engineering drawings. This stage allows engineers to verify structural integrity, material suitability, and assembly fit before committing to production tooling. We provide CNC-based prototypes and flexible material options to support rapid design iterations and functional testing.
- Accurate prototypes reflecting final component geometry
- Structural and material validation under realistic conditions
- Rapid iteration to optimize mechanical design
Engineering Validation and Testing
Test functional prototypes to ensure they meet mechanical, structural, and motion requirements. EVT identifies potential weak points, assembly challenges, or material limitations early in the design process. We provide high-precision components and engineering feedback to support iterative improvements and reduce risk before design refinement.
- Verification of load-bearing structures and motion interfaces
- Assessment of material behavior under operational stresses
- Early detection of manufacturability and assembly issues
Design Validation and Testing
Refine and validate your design for assembly efficiency, tolerance alignment, and operational performance. At DVT, we produce prototypes using production-representative processes, allowing engineers to verify fit, function, and manufacturability. Surface finishes and material selections are tested to ensure reliability and readiness for pilot production.
- Optimize assembly workflow and component interactions
- Validate performance under realistic operating conditions
- Ensure manufacturability and production readiness
Production Validation and Testing
Confirm that your design can be manufactured consistently at scale. Pilot production runs at our facilities validate process control, repeatability, and final part quality. Feedback from this stage ensures efficient assembly and reliable production performance before full-scale manufacturing.
- Verify repeatability and quality of production processes
- Confirm assembly efficiency and dimensional consistency
- Identify and resolve remaining manufacturing challenges
Mass Production
Seamlessly transition from pilot testing to full-scale production. We leverage CNC machining, die casting, sheet metal fabrication, and aluminum extrusion to deliver high-precision automation components. Rigorous inspection and process control ensure every part meets structural, functional, and dimensional requirements, providing reliable supply for industrial automation applications.

Communications Industry FAQ
Find answers to the most common questions about our telecom component manufacturing capabilities.
A. We produce RF housings, antenna brackets, filter cavities, heat sinks, enclosures, and other precision metal parts for 4G/5G communication equipment.
A. Our tolerance performance is tailored to the manufacturing process, and here are the specific achievable ranges:
- CNC machining: It can stably control the tolerance within ±0.003–0.008 mm. This precision is fully capable of meeting the production needs of key RF and communication parts, avoiding problems such as poor assembly or signal interference caused by size errors.
- Die casting: As a high-efficiency forming process, its tolerance is generally ±0.02–0.1 mm. It is mainly used to produce large structural parts of communication equipment, which can well balance production efficiency and the basic dimensional requirements of parts.
If you have special precision needs, we can combine the two processes to adjust the tolerance to the required level.
3. Yes, we provide fast prototypes based on your 2D/3D files through CNC machining, deburring and cleaning, secondary precision machining, surface finishing, and proper protection before shipping.
A:Yes. We offer free DFM checks to ensure proper heat dissipation, structural stability, and manufacturability for communication components.
