The latest Panasonic VS3, Nokia N92, Nokia N90, Motorola V975 clamshell mobile cell phone show that sleek electronic device designs hinges on strong rotary joints.

Functions of Rotary Hinge Components Assembly

• Hinge assembly connects the cell phone base to a folder unit.
• Hinge assembly controls the angle of opening. Free-stop designs, where the folding stops at any angle, and 2 degree-of-freedom hinge assembly is in. Flip-and-twist hinge assembly combine 2 rotary hinges with perpendicular axes, letting the clamshell cell phone flip open then twist 180°. This hinge assembly is popular in camera phone, PDAs, camcorders, digital cameras, notebook and tablet PCs.

• Hinge assembly in Orange SPV M5000 3G PDA cell phone device allows its screen half to swivel 180 degrees and close to allow simultaneous tablet mode and full phone functionality.
• Hinge assembly in Asus A636 GPS PDA enables a swivel-out antenna.

Hinge Components Manufacture:

• Each tiny custom hinge comprises a guide pin, shaft, cam, spring and housing.
• Hinge components are complex solid net-shape components, and difficult or impossible to machine so far.
• These hinge components are manufactured using metal injection molding MIM process.
• Recent shortening of product cycle in the competitive cell phone market from 12-18 months 5 years ago to 3-6 months today are pushing cell phone manufacturers to seek competent precision machining companies capable of complex machining of hinge components.

Ceriotec is leading Japanese CNC Machining company in complex machining of precision hinge components for the cell phone hinge manufacturers in Japan

CNC Complex Machining of Precision Hinge Components:

• Hinge components material: SUS416 420F
• Heat treatment process strengthens hinge components for 2 axial movement
• Quicker turnaround smaller MOQ versus MIM hinge components
• ISO9001:2000 Mar 2003; Sony Green Partner Factory June 2003; Lead free Japan RoHS compliant
