Mg Plus Overmolding Equals a Superior Housing

CWM Magnesium Die Cast Machine

Leading OEM engineering publications have featured the breakthrough design marriage of a CWM mag die cast case with an overmolded polyurethane elastomer.

新住房, for an advanced Tektronix fiber optic cable tester, offers greater strength and performance over plastic, with part consolidations of the hot-chamber Mg and elastomer unit resulting in a 20% saving compared to similar plastic cases, according to Tektronix engineers.
