Aavid Thermalloys quality system utilizes Statistical Process Controls (SPC) to ensure quality and continuous improvement.
Aavid Thermalloys engineering departments can assist you with selection of existing heat sink profiles, as well as with the design of new profiles. Should you require a new extrusion design, Aavid Thermalloy will produce the die in-house, minimizing production time and ensuring strict quality control. Since there is only a nominal engineering service charge for the design and tooling of new extrusion dies, customers with challenging applications often select a new design rather than choose an existing profile.
