Modern machinery, production techniques, and technology have all advanced significantly in the aluminum extrusion sector. At our Southeastern Massachusetts location, Silver City Aluminum can provide our clients custom extrusion dies, creative industry solutions, and a one-stop shop for producing high-quality, reasonably priced parts, products, and components. Our on-site experts and shops for aluminum fabrication have the unique capacity to create nearly any part or design that our clients need. We hold ourselves to significantly higher standards than those set by the industry. Our goal is to deliver completed goods to every customer that either match or surpass their expectations.
Custom Extrusion Dies
Some clients utilize our custom aluminum extrusions to further improve existing products, while many use them to reduce the amount of extra fabrication and effort required to generate a finished product. These services may involve welding, bending, cutting, punching, and machining. We have aluminum fabrication businesses and services on-site that can modify even the most basic form. The client’s specifications can be tailored for structural angles, channels, H-beams, I-beams, tees, zees, pipe, tube, rod, bar, and even hex products. With our fast Emmegi CNC machines, Silver City Aluminum can fabricate extrusions up to thirty feet in length. Our cutting-edge equipment has 4+1 regulated access, which enables constant spindle control between 0 and 180 degrees. Additionally, we have angle machining heads that can do drilling, tapping, and machining on a processed part’s five faces—even at very tight tolerances.
Our team fabricates components ranging in length from a quarter of an inch to 27 inches using a high-speed Fanuc Robo Drill machine. In order to reach or beyond industry standards, a three-axis system enables parts to be machined to incredibly tight tolerances with consistency, precision, and reproducibility. Pneumatic and hydraulic punches for low- to high-volume jobs, precision sawing with our B&O state-of-the-art precision saws for pieces ranging from a quarter of an inch to 240 inches in length, and mitering with a range of 22.5 degrees to 135 degrees for parts up to 19 feet, 8 inches are some of the additional services provided in our in-house aluminum fabrication shops.
In-House Additional Fabrication Services
We provide deburring as a normal procedure to guarantee quality control for each and every product we make for our clients. Our aluminum fabrication facilities use a range of de-burring procedures after creating custom aluminum extrusions utilizing our standard or custom extrusion dies and expert fabrication services. Depending on the component or the customer’s demands, we may utilize tumble or vibratory deburring. Each technique uses material that moves inside of an enclosure to produce high-quality results. Using a large vibrating, fully automated tumbler encasement with porcelain media, we do vibratory deburring. This is a great way to handle assignments with a lot of volume. In addition, we employ tumble deburring, which involves repeatedly tossing the components 360 degrees in a revolving tumbler drum until every burr is eliminated from the components without causing any scratches or harm to the materials.
Furthermore, additional fabrication services are offered to better support the aluminum extrusion sector. One of the methods we use to make precision-formed heli-coil inserts that permanently generate a conventional screw thread for our clients is heli-coiling. When it comes to removing typical problems like seizing, rusting, corroding, or wearing down over time, this process provides a stronger, more consistent outcome. This can be a very useful strategy, depending on the business and the setting in which the custom aluminum extrusions would be employed. The aviation or aerospace sector is one that commonly uses heli-coiling. They utilize it for everything from equipment building for high-quality outcomes to airplane tray tables, which need a spring action.
