Aluminium Extrusions |
|
Components made from aluminium extrusions are some of the commonest parts used in the manufacturing industry and can be seen in many day-to-day applications, from cars to aircraft or office equipment to lighting to name a few. The lightweight, durable and flexible design properties of aluminium extrusions give them a vast range of structural and finishing uses, whether in their naturally bright-unfinished form, powder coated, electroplated or anodised.
Aluminium extrusions can be produced in a vast range of shapes and sizes to suit the requirements of your particular product. A variety of alloys, heat treatment options and tempers are available to meet different functional product specifications. Innovative design will minimize machining and assembly times. Once extruded, a component can be cut, machined, punched or formed prior to final surface finishing as required.

When a product that has traditionally been made from steel or plastic is compared over its entire product life cycle also taking into account reduced machining and assembly times, aluminium extrusions will often prove to be the most cost effective and environmentally friendly solution.
If you've got an aluminium profile or component either at the design stage or perhaps already in production it could well be worth you contacting Capalex to find out about our unique complete one-stop service for high tolerances extruded aluminium components in a wide range of alloys in any quantity. Even if you currently use cast or machined from solid components in aluminium, steel or even plastic, it could well pay you to find out more about the Capalex service and the unique advantages of extruded aluminium components. |
