  • Taking Aluminum Extrusions to the Next Level
    Aluminum extrusions can be designed to minimize the need for further processing, making assembly and final production easier and more efficient. Nevertheless, extrusions often require some type of subsequent fabrication and machining. Simple machining operations, like cutting and punching
  • Heat Sink Design - Aluminum Extrusions (.pdf)
    The purpose of this technical brief is to give the new designer or engineer the basics in the limitations of designing an aluminum extrusion. Extrusions are 2 dimension shapes that can be fabricated after manufacture to produce net shape parts. To help minimize cost and maximize efficiency extruded
  • Standard Aluminum Extrusion Die List
    This document contains information about standard and non-restricted dies. There are separate charts for round rod, square bar, rectangular bar, round tube / pipe, square tube, and rectangular tube.
  • SPOT+ AL: The Key to Successful Aluminum Extrusion
    It is often said that the three most important factors in producing a high-quality extrusion are temperature, temperature and temperature. The temperature of the billet (sometimes called a log), the temperature of the die and the temperature profile of the extrusion as it quenches (cools) are all
  • Fiber Abrasive Finishing Systems for End-Deburring Extruded Aluminum Profiles
    as safety and esthetic are forcing the industry to supply sawn ends which are burr free and slightly radiused. This paper discusses an abrasive medium which is ideal for end deburring aluminum extrusions. When formatted into a disc brushing tool, it can be applied on a machine based system for manual
  • Skived Fin Heat Sinks (.pdf)
    an alternative to aluminum extrusions.
  • No Holes, No Problem
    , aluminum extrusions and high-strength steel. In some cases, adhesives, sealers and galvanic inhibitors were included between the layers of material.
  • Can a Linear Actuator Provide the Rigidity and Accuracy of a Linear Stage?
    Although there are no industry standards that define linear actuators and linear stages, generally accepted terminology indicates that a linear actuator is typically constructed with an aluminum extrusion or base, while a linear stage is typically built on a flat, machined steel or granite base
