CUSTOM ALUMINUM EXTRUSIONS

 

Bonnell Light weight aluminum is a maker of custom aluminum extrusions. Extrusion is specified as the process of forming material, such as aluminum, by forcing it to flow through a shaped opening in a die. Extruded product emerges as an extended piece with the exact same profile as the die opening.

To assist in recognizing the light weight aluminum extrusion process, think of a Play-Doh ® Fun Factory and also just how it functions. Think about the Fun Manufacturing facility as the extrusion press, the handle as the ram, the form bar as the die, as well as the Play-Doh ® as the custom aluminum extrusions. The initial step is to select the wanted form as well as shade. Think of the form as the die as well as the shade as the temper and also alloy required. Next off, the Play-Doh ® is put right into the holding chamber and pressure is related to the take care of, which compels the Play-Doh ® through the shape. In an extrusion press, pressure is related to the light weight aluminum billet by the ram where the dummy block is attached to completion of the ram stem. When Play-Doh ® starts to emerge, it has efficiently been "squeezed out". The same principles relate to extrusions from aluminum billets however considerably extra thorough and innovative technologies are involved.

BENEFITS OF CUSTOM-MADE ALUMINUM EXTRUSIONS

Very appropriate to obtain a wide range of finishes - paint, anodizing

Can quickly be fabricated - reducing, drilling, boxing, machining, bending, and various other standard construction approaches

Can be joined to other aluminum products or to various products by welding, soldering, brazing, screws, rivets, clips, adhesives, clinching, slide-on, snap-together, interlocking joints

Can be developed for simple and decreased assembly

Can be developed and also produced as complex and important shapes

Can be designed and also created to shut tolerances

Aluminum extrusions can be reused and re-melted back into light weight aluminum

Whether you require common aluminum extrusion accounts or custom ones, look no further than Bonnell Light weight aluminum. Our new Ascona Vision System technology utilizes one of the largest telocentric camera lenses ever produced. Made by Carl Zeiss, this equipment permits us to measure extrusion measurements much more properly as well as much more rapidly. We can measure measurements that would certainly have been difficult to measure with calipers. These lenses have actually decreased our manufacturing costs and we eagerly anticipate passing the financial savings onto our clients.
