Product Feature Breakdown

Aluminium body

The aluminium shell on Aluminum Quadcopter Case typically uses 5052/6061 sheet edging over ABS or honeycomb panels; at 1.0–1.5mm wall thickness it balances rigidity against weight. kexinMaterials adds reinforced riveting at corners and handle mounts, cutting deformation in drop tests by roughly 30% versus plain edged cases.

Aluminum construction: extruded trim and alloy latches raise rigidity and service life for high-frequency, heavy-duty use, with anodized surfaces resisting corrosion.

Standards & Industry Data

Military Drop Test (MIL-STD-810H, Method 516.8 Proc. IV)

MIL-STD-810H (8th revision, 2019; 29 test methods) requires transit-drop samples to survive 26 drops from up to 5 ft (1.5 m) onto steel-backed concrete in varied orientations. Versus 810G, the H revision raised drop height from 4 ft to 5 ft and switched to a harder steel-backed surface.

IP Ratings (IEC 60529)

In IP67, the “6” means dust-tight (no dust ingress after a 2 kPa vacuum dust test) and the “7” means temporary immersion: the enclosure survives 30 minutes at 1 m depth with its highest point at least 150 mm below the surface, per IEC 60529 Clause 14.2.7.

Export Compliance Essentials

EU-bound cases require CE marking and REACH compliance (phthalates such as DEHP/DBP each below 0.1% in soft parts); hard cases sold via Amazon FBA need ISTA 3A transit-drop certification; shipping drones or devices with lithium batteries additionally involves UN38.3 and IATA rules. A legitimate source factory provides these test reports directly.

Typical Applications

  • Mapping and inspection UAV field operations
  • Agricultural drone transport between sites
  • Underwater ROV dockside and onboard storage
  • FPV racing and training carry
  • OEM co-packing for drone manufacturers
  • Robot prototype shipping for R&D labs

Product Overview

The kexinMaterials Aluminum Quadcopter Case is one-piece molded from engineering plastics, balancing impact strength, sealing and long-term durability — available from stock or fully customized. Key specs below.

On process: the Aluminum Quadcopter Case can be injection, rotational or blow molded. Injection gives precise sealing and repeatability; rotomolding yields large seamless shells with thick-wall toughness; blow molding suits light, economical builds. kexinMaterials runs all three lines and matches the process to your protection grade and budget.

For interior protection, the Aluminum Quadcopter Case ships with or accepts CNC-cut EVA/PE foam, routed to your equipment's 3D data so nothing shifts in transit; precision instruments can add ESD-safe or cushioned layered structures.

On quality, the Aluminum Quadcopter Case passes batch drop, stack and immersion checks; key models can be tested to MIL-STD-810H for drop and vibration, with material and third-party test reports supplied for export and industry acceptance.

Manufacturing Process

Injection-molded shells deliver maximum protection for complete aircraft and ground stations, while thermo-compressed EVA composite shells serve weight-critical backpack applications. Battery compartments use flame-retardant compounds with engineered vent paths.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you print our company logo and asset numbers?

Yes — silk printing, laser engraving, UV printing and molded nameplates are all available. We can also apply sequential fleet numbers, QR asset tags and color coding so field crews identify and audit units quickly.

How do your battery cases manage LiPo risk?

Flame-retardant compartments, isolated cells and pressure-relief venting contain a thermal-runaway event to a single battery. We also recommend storage-charge levels per air-transport rules.

How do I place an order or get a quote?

For retail and small orders, visit our online store. For wholesale, OEM or export, send the case type, quantity and deadline — kexinMaterials returns a tiered quote and container plan within 24 hours.

How many batteries and controllers fit inside?

A typical inspection-drone case holds one airframe, four to six intelligent batteries, one controller and a charging hub. Agricultural platforms are larger, so the airframe usually travels de-propped in its own case with batteries in a dedicated battery case. Layout is customized to the model and workflow.

How does OEM co-packing work?

We lock the insert and shell for your model, sign an annual framework, and deliver in batches synchronized with your production line, in neutral or branded packaging.

What is the difference between EVA and EPE foam?

EVA is dense, resilient and can be precision-cut; it does not collapse over years of use, which suits precision, high-value gear. EPE (pearl cotton) is cheaper, cushions less and compresses permanently, so it fits low-value temporary protection. For drones and gimbals we recommend EVA or an EVA-plus-foam composite.

Key Terms Explained

Rotational molding
A process in which polyethylene powder is heated inside a biaxially rotating mold so the melt coats the cavity evenly. It yields seamless, tough walls, supports double-wall sandwich construction and uses low-cost tooling — ideal for large and oversize cases.
OEM / ODM
OEM means manufacturing to the customer's design under the customer's brand; ODM means the factory designs the product and the customer rebrands it. In case sourcing, private-labeling an existing shell is OEM, while commissioning a new shell and interior design is closer to ODM.
Drop test
A loaded case is released from a defined height—1.2 m is common in this industry—onto six faces and eight corners in sequence, then inspected for shell cracking, latch failure and loss of seal. It is the most direct measure of a case's impact resistance.

Common Misconceptions

Is an aluminium case always tougher than a plastic one?

Not necessarily. Aluminium is rigid but has limited elasticity — past its yield point it dents permanently. Engineering plastics (PP/ABS/rotomoulded PE) absorb impact through elastic deformation and often recover better across repeated drop cycles. Aluminium wins on stacking load, finish and EMI shielding; for impact-critical duty, choose a rotomoulded or injection-moulded shell.
