半導体産業向けヒートシンクおよび冷却プレートのCNC加工

Lead times vary based on design complexity, material availability, and order quantity. Standard heat sink designs in aluminum with simple fin arrays typically ship within 5-7 business days for prototype quantities (1-5 pieces). Complex microchannel cooling plates requiring multiple machining operations, pressure testing, and surface treatments require 2-3 weeks for prototypes. Production runs (25-100 pieces) are scheduled at 3-4 weeks, while high-volume orders (100+ pieces) require 5-6 weeks including material procurement and full inspection documentation. For projects requiring copper materials, FEA thermal modeling, or specialized coatings, we provide detailed timelines during quotation. Expedited services with dedicated manufacturing resources are available for urgent thermal management requirements.
 

For large cooling plates (up to 24″ x 24″), we routinely achieve overall flatness of 0.002″-0.003″ across the entire surface, with localized flatness of 0.001″ in critical thermal contact areas. Our precision surface grinding capabilities combined with stress-relief treatments ensure dimensional stability after machining. For ultra-flat applications requiring better than 0.001″ flatness, we employ additional lapping operations and comprehensive CMM mapping to verify specifications. All large cooling plates are machined in climate-controlled environments maintaining ±1°C temperature stability to prevent thermal expansion errors. We provide detailed flatness inspection reports with color-mapped deviations showing compliance across the entire surface area.
 

Yes, we specialize in manufacturing advanced microchannel cooling plates with internal channel widths as small as 0.020″ (0.5mm). Our 5-axis CNC machining centers can create complex serpentine patterns, manifold designs, and variable-depth channels optimized for heat transfer efficiency. We utilize high-pressure coolant delivery systems and specialized small-diameter tooling to ensure complete chip evacuation and dimensional accuracy throughout deep channels. Every microchannel cooling plate undergoes comprehensive pressure testing and flow verification to ensure leak-free performance and proper coolant distribution. We can also manufacture bonded plate designs with precision-machined channel features sealed using diffusion bonding, brazing, or friction stir welding techniques.
 

Material selection depends on your thermal performance requirements, budget, and environmental factors. Aluminum 6061-T6 offers excellent thermal conductivity (167 W/m·K), good machinability, and cost-effectiveness, making it ideal for most heat sink applications. Aluminum 6063-T5 is preferred for extruded profiles with complex fin geometries. For maximum thermal performance, copper alloys (C11000, C10100) provide superior conductivity (385+ W/m·K) but at higher material and machining costs. Copper is recommended for high-heat-flux applications like laser cooling and power electronics. Our engineering team can perform thermal analysis to recommend the optimal material balancing performance, weight, and cost for your specific application.
