CNC MACHINING HEAT SINKS
The machinery heat sink is an essential thermal management component designed to effectively dissipate excess heat generated by electronic components within machines and industrial systems. By maintaining the temperature within safe limits, it ensures optimal performance, stability, and longevity of electronic devices.
Heat sinks are typically crafted from aluminum or copper, chosen for their exceptional thermal conductivity. They can be passive (air-cooled) or active, featuring fans or advanced liquid cooling systems.
