Saw extrusion profiles
Extrusion profiles are divided into predetermined efficient lengths by the extruder after extrusion. After delivery of this batch, the profiles that have one fixed size are divided by us into the final size of the product. This is done on one of our saw benches, which are always equipped with 2 saw blades to ensure accuracy in dimensions.
What is extrusion profile sawing?
Aluminum extrusion is a technique whereby a certain aluminum alloy is converted into a broad variety of products by extrusion. One of the greatest benefits of the use of aluminum extrusions, besides just the costs and the speed at which products can be manufactured, is the basic material its strength. Aluminum is known to be extremely strong but weighs just one-third of metal-like steel, which causes transport to be easier and for it to be easier to use for various applications. Aluminum can also be used to have products of diverse sizes. Regardless of if you need a small component for a custom machine or if you need something significantly larger for window construction, it is all possible with extrusion profiles.
Despite looking simple, a good sawing process is essential. The cutting speed, the type of saw blade, the sharpness of the saw, the cutting pressure and the feed rate play an important role in the dimensions and burr freedom of the product.
We check these factors in order to avoid problems in the further process during the machining work, any rolling and/or assembly. In addition, the operations of sawing, machining, rolling and assembly are close together so that we can properly guarantee the process from start to finish and efficiently produce high-quality products. Both visually and dimensionally.
How does sawing extrusion profiles work?
In addition to being cut to length with miter saws, the extrusion profiles are often cut on 2 sides, with the saw cuts being burr-free because we continuously use sharp saw blades. High demands are made on sawing, with the focus on scratch-free, burr-free profiles with a minimal waste percentage.
When to apply sawing extrusion profiles?
Sawing an extrusion profile is important to achieve accurate dimensions, both for the profile length and for any milling shapes. This is because the profile is held against the stop in order to determine the 0 point. Sawing between 2 saw blades is a must.
Savings
You can save a significant amount of money by switching to the manufacturing of extrusions and at the same time save time at a faster pace of the manufacturing of components. Many companies from various branches under which construction of machines, lightning industry, retail, medical industry, window construction, et cetera have discovered that the extrusion of aluminum is the right choice and have decided to continue using extrusion profiles then sheets to manufacture their worked products.
If your company is looking for a benefit while keeping high-quality products, Pillen can help you make this choice by choosing aluminum extrusion profiles or going for sheets.
