In high-end control centers, command and dispatch rooms, digital exhibition halls, and industrial automation equipment, multi-screen display systems have become the core carriers for information integration and visualized decision-making. As the physical framework supporting multiple displays, the multi-screen shell not only needs high strength, high rigidity, and good heat dissipation, but also requires extremely high geometric precision between the screen mounting positions to ensure uniform seams and seamless image integration. Traditional sheet metal bending or welding processes are difficult to meet these stringent requirements. CNC hardware machining technology, with its high precision, high flexibility, and full-process integration capabilities, has successfully achieved seamless integration and a perfectly aligned assembly effect for complex multi-screen shells.1. Integrated Design: From Split-Component Assembly to a Single StructureTraditional multi-screen shells are often assembled from multiple independent brackets, frames, and back panels using bolts or welding. This not only results in large accumulated tolerances, easily leading to uneven screen heights and misaligned seams, but also reduces overall rigidity due to the numerous connection points. CNC machining supports one-piece molding—using large-size aluminum, stainless steel, or galvanized steel plates as raw materials, and through a five-axis linkage machining center, all processes such as cutting, milling, drilling, tapping, and chamfering are completed in a single clamping. This "seamless" design eliminates assembly gaps and stress concentration points, making the entire shell a highly rigid integral structure, fundamentally ensuring the high consistency of the mounting reference surfaces for multiple screens.2. Micron-level machining accuracy: The key to controlling splicing gapsMulti-screen splicing requires extremely high flatness, parallelism, and hole positioning accuracy. The CNC machining system, relying on a high-rigidity machine bed, precision ball screws, and a closed-loop feedback system, can stably control machining tolerances within ±0.02mm. Combined with laser tool setting and online measurement technologies, the system can compensate for thermal deformation and tool wear in real time, ensuring the accurate positioning of hundreds of mounting holes, guide rail slots, and cooling ducts. For example, the cumulative error of the casing for a 6×2 video wall across its 24 horizontal screen mounting positions can be controlled within 0.1mm, truly achieving "what you see is what you get" visual continuity.3. Efficient Implementation of Complex Geometric FeaturesMulti-screen shells often require the integration of complex functional structures such as cable management channels, heat dissipation fins, electromagnetic shielding covers, and modular quick-release interfaces. CNC machining, through 3D programming and multi-axis linkage, can easily process details that are difficult to achieve with traditional processes, such as curved transitions, irregular openings, and internal cavity reinforcing ribs. For example, milling honeycomb-shaped weight-reducing cavities inside the aluminum casing reduces weight and increases bending stiffness; machining dovetail grooves or snap-fit structures at the edges facilitates quick positioning and installation of screen modules. These integrated functional features not only improve aesthetics but also reduce subsequent assembly processes and improve system reliability.4. Material Adaptability and Surface Integrity GuaranteeFor different application scenarios, CNC machining can flexibly select metal sheets such as aluminum alloy, stainless steel, or cold-rolled steel plates. During processing, optimized cutting parameters, specialized tools, and coolant effectively prevent material burrs, deformation, or surface scratches. Subsequent seamless surface treatments such as anodizing, sandblasting, and powder coating further enhance the shell's wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and industrial aesthetics.5. Digital Collaboration: Seamless Integration from Design to ManufacturingThe entire process relies on an integrated CAD/CAM platform. The designer's 3D model can be directly converted into machine tool processing code, realizing "design as manufacturing." Simultaneously, processing data is traceable and reproducible, ensuring that every shell in mass production possesses the same high-precision characteristics, providing quality assurance for large-scale deployment.CNC hardware machining endows the multi-screen shell with not only "form," but also "precision" and "stability." It transforms complex assembly problems into the precision manufacturing of individual parts, replacing compromises in splicing with the integrity of metal, and delivering on the promise of visual seamlessness with micron-level control. In an era of highly integrated information, this "invisible skeleton" is supporting the precise presentation of every frame with its ultimate craftsmanship, becoming an indispensable core foundation for intelligent display systems.
