Data Centers

Stand-alone data centers are purpose-built to close tolerance specifications. This requires metal fabrication and precision CNC machining applications to deliver on these high-technology facilities effectively. Every part of the infrastructure, including server racks, cooling systems, power distribution, and supporting components, must be produced to specifications that ensure accuracy, repeatability, and extremely high and consistent performance. 

Typical materials machined include various grades of aluminum, carbon steel, and stainless, depending on required strength, rigidity, and thermal properties. Hi-performance data centers generate a significant amount of heat.

Machine-Ready Blanks let data center designers and builders start from pre-machined materials produced to tight tolerances and ready for final machining and fabrication. Realized benefits include reduced build time, with many customers reporting up to a 50% reduction in overall CNC machining time and consistent precision part-to-part. 

Data center customers call on us for a range of products and services, including custom Made-to-Order and standard Ready-to-Ship Machine-Ready Blanks, Feature- Added Blanks (especially for parts requiring extensive hog-outs), and Dovetail Blanks for multi-axis machining.

Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines are widely used for data center machining as they allow for high precision, complex geometries, and consistent quality.
