Aluminium housings and brackets for medical devices
Boyang Hardware machines medical devices parts to customer drawings in Zhongshan, China. The photographs below are from production archives; the route, material and finish listed are typical for this part family and are confirmed at quotation.
What the part does
Housings, brackets and enclosures for diagnostic instruments, patient monitors, surgical tools and other healthcare equipment. These parts must be clean, burr-free and dimensionally consistent so assemblies do not bind or misalign.
Why this geometry is demanding
- Medical devices are sensitive to burrs, sharp edges and loose particles; surface finish and cleanliness are as important as dimensions.
- AL6061 with clear anodising gives a clean, corrosion-resistant surface that can be wiped down repeatedly.
- Traceability and documentation matter: material certificates and inspection reports are standard for medical work.
Typical material and finish
AL6061-T6 or AL6063-T6 aluminium; clear anodising or bead-blasted finish. Stainless steel SS304/SS316 is used where sterilisation or body contact is required.
Process route
- 3-axis machining of housing profile, bores and access holes
- Deburring and edge breaking of every hole and pocket
- Bead blasting for a uniform matte finish
- Clear anodising to improve surface hardness and corrosion resistance
- 100% dimensional inspection and cleaning before packaging
Inspection and quality control
Critical dimensions are checked against the drawing on the CMM. Burr status and surface cleanliness are inspected under the documented standard procedure. Material certificates and dimensional reports are supplied with the shipment.

Common questions about medical devices machining at Boyang
Is ISO 13485 certification required for medical device parts?
ISO 13485 is required for many finished medical device manufacturers, but a contract machined part can often be produced under the customer's ISO 13485 system with the appropriate controls. Boyang operates ISO 9001 and can follow customer-specific medical procedures and documentation requirements.
How does Boyang prevent burrs and contamination on medical parts?
All edges are deburred manually or mechanically, parts are cleaned before finishing and inspection, and packaging is chosen to keep surfaces clean during transit. A documented inspection procedure is followed for every batch.
Can parts be supplied with material certificates?
Yes. Material certificates for the heat or lot used are available for aluminium, stainless steel and other alloys on request.
