MANUFACTURING CAPABILITY
Aegistek Corporation Ltd.
Cheval Technology Co., Ltd.
Cheval Electronic Enclosure Co., Ltd.
The 5,000 square meter facility is Cheval’s warehouse and logistic center for both the Thailand and overseas 19″ rack market. Racks are assembled, configured as needed and dispatched to clients. CE also produces most of Cheval’s tooling requirements from our in house tool room and stamping parts from our power press lines. CE was established in 1987 and is located just outside Bangkok in the Bangplee Industrial Estate
Welding
Cheval utilizes many types of welding, including robotic lines for MIG, and manual stations for hand TIG, Spot and CD stud welding.
CNC Laser Cutting and Punching
CNC Laser Cutting and Punching Machines add flexibility to our manufacturing capability. Cheval uses the latest CNC equipment for both short run batches and mass production.
CNC Bending
High precision and consistency are achieved using CNC bending Machines and automated panel benders.

Electroplating Factory
The 1,125 square meter factory currently consists of Zinc Barrel Plating and Zinc Rack Plating lines which are capable of plating parts as small as 1 mm-diameter up to 2,200 mm-long parts. The completely automatic line ensures quality and consistent results through a process that takes around 1 hour depending on the particular parts being plated. And in following our strict internal environmental standards, water and air treatment are strictly implemented and monitored.
Mechanical Assembly, Integration and Packaging
Cheval can improve your margins by providing assembly and integration for your products. We offer mechanical assembly, sub assembly integration and finished product packaging, all to your specifications. This can reduce the time you need to invest to get your product to market. We export to all corners of the world and our customer service is experienced in getting the products where you want them.
Quality Assurance and Testing
Cheval firmly believes that our products should exceed our clients expectations. To achieve this goal, we have developed rigorous testing and quality assurance systems. We undergo regular audits from third party inspectors, but more importantly, by our clients and consistently achieve excellent results.
All three of our facilities are certified to ISO 9001:2015 and 14001:2015 and we use RoHS compliant materials. Standard paint inspection process uses photo spectrometer reading to measure color, (L.a.b.), gloss meter, thickness meter, M.E.K. ruboff tests, cross hatch adhesion, impact and hardness tests.
Testing is critical to ongoing production and product development. In addition to standard UL 2416 test requirements. Cheval has developed and performs more rigorous in house tests such as:
- Mechanical Load tests for enclosures: staic, dynamic, drop and tilt.
- Mechanical Load tests for casters, both static and dynamic.
- Electric conductivity and high pot testing.
- Salt spray chamber to verify paint integrity.
We work with third party facilities such as Met Labs and UL, to provide certificates per client request.
Mechanical
Cheval tests the load (weight bearing) capacity of all our products. These tests are designed to determine upper limits to the amount of weight a particular product can safely and functionally support. We use both third party (UL) standards plus have developed our own enhanced tests to ensure your safety and product quality.
Dynamic tests will physically move the rack some distance while under load. Depending on the requirements, specific obstacles may or may not be part of the rolling test. Client speific requirements can be performed as well.
Custom desigend rig allows for multiple fores to be exerted on the sample while ensuring operater safety,
Caster Testing Method
Cheval’s custom built caster testing machine allows us to set the weight, speed and duration for dynamic testing. A series of profiles can be added to simulate thresholds and other obstacles,
Lab Testing
We have a corrosion lab equipped with a salt spray chamber for testing painted panels from every production batch. The panels are placed in the chamber and exposed for 500 hours. Then the panels are inspected according to ASTM-D610-01 and ASTM-B117. Adhesion, impact, hardness and curing are also tested in the lab.
Our materials lab tests tensile strength, hardness and deformation properties of components and materials.
