Quick Answer
EV interior mechanisms require CNC machining of 6061-T6 aluminum and PA66+GF30 for seat recliner brackets, console mounts, and pedal assemblies. Critical tolerances include seat track linearity ±0.10 mm and pedal pivot concentricity ≤Φ0.05 mm to ensure occupant safety and comfort.
Definition
CNC machining for interior mechanisms involves safety-critical components. Unlike cosmetic trim, these parts must withstand crash loads and repetitive motion. CNC ensures consistent performance over 100,000+ adjustment cycles.
How It Works
Seat Recliner Bracket: 4-axis machining creates complex cam profiles for locking mechanisms.
Seat Track: Milling precise teeth profiles for incremental adjustment.
Pedal Assembly: Machining pivot points and sensor mounts for accelerator pedals.
Console Structure: Lightweight aluminum brackets support screens and storage.
