Active safety systems in the automotive industry, including technologies designed to prevent accidents, such as advanced braking systems and ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) cameras, require high-precision and durable components. Their proper functioning can be vitally important, quite literally. For this reason, at Jegan, we explain how zamak, a versatile zinc alloy, manufactures key components for the automotive sector.
ADAS Camera Housings in Zamak
The cameras used in Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are essential for technologies such as automatic braking, obstacle detection, and navigation in all types of vehicles. Protecting these cameras is a top priority, requiring robust housings capable of withstanding impacts, vibrations, and adverse weather conditions while maintaining high precision standards.
Jegan’s manufacturing process for ADAS cameras begins with injection moulding to create the initial shape, trimming, and removing excess material. Next, the components undergo shot blasting with stainless steel spheres and vibrating with ceramic chips, achieving a roughness of Ra=0.8, which ensures an optimal finish for subsequent processes.
The housings produced at Jegan are then subjected to Zn-Ni zinc plating, providing additional corrosion protection. Finally, cleaning and packaging are conducted in a cleanroom, adhering to strict client-defined regulations to ensure exceptional precision in thickness and comprehensive product quality.
Durable and Reliable Brake Circuit Components
Zamak is also an ideal choice for brake circuit systems that require components capable of withstanding mechanical stresses. This zinc alloy is an excellent material for such components due to its high mechanical strength and corrosion resistance.
The corrosion resistance of zamak ensures that parts retain their functionality over time, even in high-humidity environments or when exposed to corrosive agents. This property makes it a reliable option for brake systems where durability is critical.
