Aluminum Extrusions
Aluminum extrusion process starts when the die is created, the raw material (aluminum bar) is ready then it’s heated to about 800-925 ºF, goes through to the press until the extruded shape is fitted out on the other end.
Extrusions are suitable for light and medium duty applications where permanent rigidity is not required. Extrusions are very common in the industry, used on machine frames, table surfaces, 3D printers, safety guards, etc.

Applications
Aluminum Extrusions are used as structural manner for equipment cover, base to place equipment, booth, conveyor and actuators.
Required items for assembly
In addition to the aluminum frames, the basic configuration for building an application includes the brackets and jointing methods, as well as the T-nuts that hold the brackets in place for the pre- and post- assembly.

Q&A
1. What is the cut charge for extrusions?
Extrusions are cut to length as standard from 50-4000 mm in 0.5 mm increments.
2. What is the length tolerance of extrusion?
Our extrusions have a standard tolerance of +/- 0.5 mm.
3. Is there any surface treatment on the extrusions?
Our extrusions are supplied with a clear anodized finish as a standard to help protect the extrusion, but we also have available the black anodize option.
Design Restrictions
Aluminum is a weaker material than steel (allowable load is lighter at the same side length).
Bolt screw is used for the connection, the joint is not as strong as a weld.
– Be very careful in areas subject to vibration, the bolts may be loosen.
Special care should be taken with equipment that requires precise rigidity, aluminum extrusions may not be the best choice.
