Aluminum extrusion, whether it’s for a standard product or a one-of-a-kind design, is a process that uses extremely hot metal forced through a steel die to create a desired shape or profile. The term “post-extrusion operations” describes any procedures carried out following the extrusion process. In addition to punching, mitering, heli-coiling, and assembling, sawing and deburring are also part of fabrication. Anodizing, powder coating, or painting are some finishing choices that may be applied to aluminum goods after extrusion and fabrication, depending on what the client wants.
All of your aluminum extrusion parts, components, and products, whether they’re standard or unique, may be manufactured in-house by our team of highly skilled technicians and engineers. Our Taunton factory handles all post-extrusion and extrusion procedures internally. Almost any shape or component may be made to order by our fabrication department. To ensure that the outcomes we provide are second to none, we insist on the strictest quality controls.
Extrusion and Fabrication Solutions
Our team possesses the remarkable capability to create parts with lengths ranging from one-quarter of an inch to thirty feet. Our high-speed Emmegi CNC machines are used for processing lengthy component fabrications. These machines include a 4+1 controlled axis that can be continually adjusted between 0 and 180 degrees. Angle machining heads allow us to consistently mill all five faces of a produced product to exceedingly close tolerances. Using a three-axis technology that allows for incredibly tight tolerances for consistency and quality, our high-speed Fanuc Robo Drill machines produce small pieces ranging in length from one-quarter of an inch to twenty-seven inches.
Our CNC fabrication services also cover sawing and mitering. For modest or high volume works, we can also provide specialized pneumatic and hydraulic punches for punching. Our two B&O state-of-the-art precision saws allow us to keep tight tolerances for components ranging in length from one-fourth of an inch to 240 inches, and we also provide precision sawing as a service. Angles of 22.5 to 135 degrees and lengths of 13.75 to 19 feet, 8 inches are all within the realm of possibility when it comes to mitering fabrication services.
Specialty Services and Quality Controls
Among Silver City Aluminum’s secondary operations is the provision of deburring services, which are essential following any kind of fabrication or extrusion, but particularly following punching, sawing, and other similar procedures. To remove burrs off aluminum components without harming or scratching them, vibratory de-burring or tumble de-burring are employed, depending on the part’s needs.
Other methods we provide is the use of heli-coil inserts. These are precision-formed and fitted into a heli-coil tapped hole to ensure a secure and long-lasting fit, protecting against corrosion, wear, and rust. Besides standard post-extrusion operations like sawing and deburring, we also provide specialized services like product assembly, telescoping profiles, and those that are unique to certain industries.
Unbeatable Finishing Solutions
The fact that our Massachusetts facility can meet all of our clients’ needs is something we are very proud of. Our staff is here to assist you with all of your aluminum product needs, from normal extrusion and fabrication to more specialized services like powder coating or painting prior to shipment. At Silver City Aluminum, we have the ability to paint, powder coat, and anodize your aluminum products. To make sure the results last and look excellent, our paint department even goes above and above what is required by the industry.
Using our Polycron paint line, we can paint components as long as twenty feet. Every one of our paint treatments is meticulously executed to ensure a uniform application of color and exceptional adherence. To ensure that our clients’ finishes are both aesthetically pleasing and functionally sound, we also employ a wide variety of powder coaters and anodizers. Give your final products a one-of-a-kind look by picking from an infinite palette of colors. Short and long items can be anodised in small or big batches according to the client’s demands. An infinite variety of custom finishes are available upon request, in addition to clear, black, and multi-color anodizing, among others.
