Key Takeaway:
Valco provides exceptional metal stamping and fabrication services tailored directly to the needs of the data center industry.

High-Quality Materials for Critical Cooling and Infrastructure

Cooling systems maintain the climate control needed within data centers, and our team can offer diverse materials perfectly suited for thermal conductivity, structural support, and corrosion resistance. Our materials include: 

Whether you require precise copper stampings for heat dissipation units, heavy-duty galvanized steel for structural brackets/braces, or cold-rolled steel for precision server racks, your components will be crafted with the utmost precision and quality. 

Our Manufacturing Capabilities for Data Centers

Valco offers a full-service solution, guiding your data center infrastructure components from the initial design concept through production. Our Cleveland, Ohio facility is fully equipped with machinery that has capacities up to 200 tons of stamping force.

of Stamping Force

Metal Stamping Department

Progressive die stamping is ideal for the mass production of chassis components, structural brackets, and server racks. These key components of infrastructure require uniformity and strength to withstand the weight of heavy equipment.

Our process provides:

✓ Reduced scrap metal

✓ Increased repeatability

✓ Faster setup

✓ Increased production speed

✓ Consistently close tolerances

Parts can be drawn, bent, punched, formed, embossed, coined, blanked, or flanged exactly to your specifications.

CNC Turning Center and Screw Machine Department

For the specialized fasteners and precision standoffs required in server assembly, our screw machines can process bar stock up to 1 5/8” in high-production runs. 

We can create customized pins and shafts needed in the heavy-duty hinges of server cabinets, security gates, or within the mechanical rotating assemblies of exhaust and cooling fans. 

Our CNC turning capability supports precision plungers manufacturing to tolerances under .001”. Use these spring-loaded plungers in quick-release mechanisms for sliding server rack rails, hot-swappable drive bays, and more.

Slide Forming

We can produce intricately shaped wire forms up to 3/16” in diameter and four-slide stampings up to 2” wide from coil stock. These wires can create structural loops, busbar brackets, tray mounting hooks, specialized retaining clips, and cable-routing hardware.

⚠️
Key Insight: A data center’s infrastructure is responsible for shielding electromagnetic interference that causes disruptions to equipment.

To help with this, we customize flat springs and spring clips that are used for EMI/RFI shielding and provide conductivity.
