Having Doubts? Our FAQ

Check all our Frequently Asked Questions

How does Frigate manage tolerance stack-up in telecom assemblies with metal and plastic parts?

Frigate uses a unified design approach to control tolerance stack-up across different materials like die-cast aluminum, injection-molded plastics, and sheet metal. All parts are designed using a common datum reference structure, and precise GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing) is applied to each interface. Before any parts are made, Frigate runs 3D tolerance analysis to calculate worst-case conditions for assembly gaps, alignment errors, or interference zones. This ensures that even when different materials expand or contract differently, the mechanical interfaces still fit perfectly. As a result, telecom assemblies built by Frigate are consistent, stress-free, and dimensionally stable—even in large production runs. 

What techniques does Frigate use to prevent thermal warping in multi-material enclosures?

Frigate combines thermal-mechanical FEA (Finite Element Analysis) with advanced material modeling to understand how different materials expand or contract under heat. Materials like aluminum, stainless steel, and high-performance plastics all have different CTE (coefficient of thermal expansion) values, which can lead to internal stress, warping, or seal failure if not managed carefully. Frigate designs joints and mounting systems using floating bushings, flexible inserts, and torque-controlled fasteners that allow materials to move without creating stress. These designs are tested using simulated thermal cycles that match real field conditions—like rooftop heat, freezing nights, or rapid equipment start-up. This ensures long-term dimensional stability and seal integrity in telecom enclosures. 

How does Frigate validate EMI shielding in RF enclosures before tooling?

Frigate performs full-wave electromagnetic simulation using CST or HFSS to analyze RF behavior before any enclosure is manufactured. These simulations look at how electromagnetic energy flows inside and outside the housing, focusing on weak spots like seams, joints, screw holes, and ventilation slots. By optimizing gasket types, grounding methods, wall thicknesses, and internal baffle structures, Frigate ensures the shielding effectiveness meets strict telecom standards—often better than -60 dB. This virtual testing happens during the design stage and is critical for high-frequency equipment like mmWave radios or 5G base stations. It helps avoid delays and costly rework during EMC compliance testing later in the product cycle. 

How does Frigate design enclosures to reduce field service time?

Frigate focuses heavily on serviceability during the design stage. Enclosures are built with modular layouts, where internal parts like PCBs, power modules, or RF shields can be accessed without dismantling the entire unit. Tool-less panels, captive screws, and fast-release clips make opening and reassembling faster and safer. Cable paths are clearly defined with labeled clips, and part replacement can be done at the sub-assembly level. To ensure nothing is missed, Frigate uses digital mockups to simulate hand-tool reach, connector access, and technician posture in the field. These strategies significantly lower Mean Time to Repair (MTTR), reduce service labor costs, and keep telecom networks running with minimal downtime. 

How does Frigate reduce lead time during NPI when tooling is not ready?

Frigate uses bridge-tooling and soft-tooling methods to accelerate prototyping without waiting for final production molds. These temporary tools are machined from aluminum or pre-hardened steel and are capable of producing limited-run parts with close-to-final geometry. Before toolmaking, Frigate uses advanced simulation tools like Moldflow (for injection molding) and ProCAST (for die casting) to identify flow issues, cooling delays, or ejection problems. This ensures the tool design is right the first time. Once soft tools are created, real parts can be tested for dimensional accuracy, fit, and performance—allowing quick engineering changes before committing to full-volume tooling. This cuts weeks off NPI schedules while maintaining technical accuracy.
