♠ Product Details
Ball Corners
Constructed from high-strength metal, ball corners are engineered for exceptional durability and resistance to deformation or breakage. They are specifically designed to protect and reinforce the aluminum edges of flight cases, providing superior impact absorption at the most vulnerable points. These corners safeguard cases against drops, collisions, and heavy-duty handling, ensuring that both the case structure and its contents remain secure. By enhancing corner strength and overall frame stability, ball corners significantly extend the lifespan of flight cases, making them an essential component for professional touring, transportation, and storage of sensitive or valuable equipment.
Corners Protectors
Corners protectors are metal fittings designed to reinforce and secure the corners of a flight case further. They connect the concave and convex aluminum strips, stabilizing the frame structure and preventing deformation under stress. These protectors absorb impact from drops, collisions, or pressure during stacking, protecting both the case and its contents. By enhancing structural integrity, they provide extra safety for delicate or heavy equipment. Additionally, corners protectors help maintain alignment when stacking multiple cases, preventing shifting or toppling, making them essential for storage, transport, and professional applications where durability and reliability are critical.
Butterfly Locks
Butterfly locks are high-security latches widely used in professional flight cases for secure closure. They provide strong impact resistance, vibration-proof performance, and quick, easy operation. The design prevents accidental opening during transport, even in high-shock environments like live events, touring, or frequent equipment movement. Butterfly locks allow repeated, effortless access to the case interior while maintaining safety and security. Their recessed profile reduces the risk of snagging or damage, and they can be paired with keys or padlocks for additional protection. This makes them essential for keeping sensitive or valuable equipment safe during handling.
Handles
Flight case handles are designed for ergonomic, efficient handling and transport. Most handles are recessed or flush with the case surface, reducing the risk of snagging or damage when cases are stacked or placed against walls. Handles provide a secure grip for lifting, carrying, or moving the case, even under heavy loads. They are designed to support repeated use without bending or breaking, enhancing safety and convenience. Some handles include spring-loaded mechanisms to stay flush when not in use. Overall, handles improve mobility, reduce user strain, and contribute to the professional-grade functionality of the flight case.
Wheel Cups (Stacking Cups)
Wheel cups, or stacking cups, are recessed fittings integrated into the top of a flight case to securely hold the wheels of another case stacked above it. They prevent shifting, sliding, or toppling during storage or transport, improving safety and stability. Wheel cups maximize space efficiency by enabling vertical stacking without compromising security. They also protect wheels from damage during stacking and ensure that cases remain properly aligned. In combination with durable corners and casters, stacking cups make transporting multiple cases safer, more organized, and easier to handle, especially in touring or professional applications.
Casters (Wheels)
Flight case casters provide smooth and reliable mobility. Typically equipped with dual-bearing systems combining precision ball bearings and thrust bearings, they allow stable 360° movement for easy positioning and transport. Casters include braked and non-braked wheels to ensure controlled maneuvering and secure stationary positioning. They reduce physical strain when moving heavy or bulky cases and improve overall efficiency in storage and transport. High-quality casters are designed to handle repeated use, heavy loads, and varied surfaces while maintaining stability. Paired with stacking cups, corners, and handles, casters make flight cases fully functional, mobile, and professional-grade.
♠ Flight Case Production Process
1.Cutting Board
Cut the aluminum alloy sheet into the required size and shape. This requires the use of high-precision cutting equipment to ensure that the cut sheet is accurate in size and consistent in shape.
2.Cutting Aluminum
In this step, aluminum profiles (such as parts for connection and support) are cut into appropriate lengths and shapes. This also requires high-precision cutting equipment to ensure the accuracy of the size.
3.Punching
The cut aluminum alloy sheet is punched into various parts of the aluminum case, such as the case body, cover plate, tray, etc. through punching machinery. This step requires strict operation control to ensure that the shape and size of the parts meet the requirements.
4.Assembly
In this step, the punched parts are assembled to form the preliminary structure of the aluminum case. This may require the use of welding, bolts, nuts and other connection methods for fixing.
5.Rivet
Riveting is a common connection method in the assembly process of aluminum cases. The parts are firmly connected together by rivets to ensure the strength and stability of the aluminum case.
6.Cut Out Model
Additional cutting or trimming is performed on the assembled aluminum case to meet specific design or functional requirements.
7.Glue
Use adhesive to firmly bond specific parts or components together. This usually involves the reinforcement of the internal structure of the aluminum case and the filling of gaps. For example, it may be necessary to glue the lining of EVA foam or other soft materials to the inner wall of the aluminum case through adhesive to improve the sound insulation, shock absorption and protection performance of the case. This step requires precise operation to ensure that the bonded parts are firm and the appearance is neat.
8.Lining Process
After the bonding step is completed, the lining treatment stage is entered. The main task of this step is to handle and sort out the lining material that has been pasted to the inside of the aluminum case. Remove excess adhesive, smooth the surface of the lining, check for problems such as bubbles or wrinkles, and ensure that the lining fits tightly with the inside of the aluminum case. After the lining treatment is completed, the interior of the aluminum case will present a neat, beautiful and fully functional appearance.
9.QC
Quality control inspections are required at multiple stages in the production process. This includes appearance inspection, size inspection, sealing performance test, etc. The purpose of QC is to ensure that each production step meets the design requirements and quality standards.
10.Package
After the aluminum case is manufactured, it needs to be properly packaged to protect the product from damage. Packaging materials include foam, cartons, etc.
11.Shipment
The last step is to transport the aluminum case to the customer or end user. This involves arrangements in logistics, transportation, and delivery.
