Our team at Silver City Aluminum handles every part of the extrusion and fabrication process from start to finish, which is one of the reasons why our clients pick to deal with our facility. Everything happens directly here at our Taunton, Massachusetts plant, including the original design work with our team of expert engineers, the extrusion process, fabrication, secondary operations, custom finishing, and even delivery via our fleet of trucks. Your items, parts, or components are never shipped to a third-party service by us.
Whether you need precise CNC fabrication after extrusion or if you want each component to be painted, powder-coated, or anodized, we can complete the job you need right here. Even though custom extrusion design can minimize the amount of secondary operations needed to achieve the desired results, additional services, such as sawing and deburring as well as heli-coiling in New England, can still be carried out on-site to guarantee that all specifications are satisfied for your custom aluminum products.
Custom Extrusion Design and Standard Profiles
Depending on your demands, we can fabricate both long and short part orders using our fully operational machine shop on-site. Up to thirty feet long components may be fabricated using our fast Emmegi CNC equipment. They make use of a 4+1 controlled axis, which enables continuous control of the spindle within the 0-180 degree range. We offer angle machining heads that may be utilized to mill a processed part’s five sides in addition to the spindle rotation. For consistent and dependable output, our high-speed equipment can machine, drill, and tap at incredibly tight tolerances.
High-speed Fanuc Robo Drill machines, which can create parts as tiny as 1/64 of an inch up to 27 inches in length, finish our short component creation. They run on a 3-axis high-speed system, which offers our clients consistently precise machining with very tight tolerances. Additionally, we are quite skilled at handling orders that call for unique hydraulic and pneumatic punches. For both low- and high-volume tasks, our staff can collaborate with you to design unique punches that will meet or surpass your goals while maintaining the highest standards of consistency and quality.
Cutting edge B&O precision saws for our extrusions; mitering saws with capacities ranging from 22.5 to 135 degrees on parts and components ranging from 13.75 inches to 19 feet, 8 inches; capabilities for extremely tight tolerances on pieces ranging from quarter of an inch to 240 inches in length. Customers in the aerospace sector are especially drawn to heli-coling in New England as it offers a permanent conventional screw thread that is more robust and dependable, decreasing rust, corrosion, seizing problems, and wear over time.
Secondary Operations for Aluminum Extrusion
At Silver City Aluminum, one of our services is standard for all machined components. Every part, component, or product we make that is put through punching and other forms of manufacturing at our plant is deburred. We take this action because these services occasionally leave tiny aluminum burrs behind. Our professionals handle fabrication, sawing, and deburring for both small and big projects, including extrusion designs that are standard and customized. This is just one of many different kinds of quality control procedures we use to guarantee client happiness and excellent outcomes for each purchase we fulfill.
Using a very large, fully-automated tumbler encasement with porcelain media inside, the vibratory technique is especially useful for high-volume jobs. The porcelain effectively removes burrs from the parts as they are moved around inside the encasement without scratching or harming the finished materials. Although the tumble method is quite similar to vibratory de-burring, it involves tumbling the components in a different way in a drum that rotates 360 degrees continuously for a certain amount of time, or until all burrs are successfully removed from the parts. This procedure is used for unique aluminum products.
Truly Custom Aluminum Products
We also assist our clients in reaching their objectives by offering expert painting, powder coating, and anodizing services at our location. This may be put to use functionally, such as adding extra protective coating to a component or product after sawing and deburring it to make it even more resilient to corrosion and last longer. It may also be utilized to enhance the final product’s appearance by adding texture or other advantageous features, or by selecting a distinctive or custom color. At Silver City Aluminum, our paint line produces unique aluminum items virtually nonstop. In order to create a uniform color application and excellent adherence to satisfy the demands of every business we serve, we aim for perfection in all of our painting services.
We put forth just as much effort to provide our powder-coating and anodizing services to the highest standards of excellence. Our team collaborates with many powder coaters and anodizers to offer our clients a finish that will provide them with the high-performance and desired aesthetic appeal for their business. Our services are made to guarantee the best results possible. We provide superior finishing and adhesion for unique extrusion designs, along with shorter lead times so that our clients may receive their finished products on time. A wide range of alternatives are available to customers, such as multi-color anodizing, clear or black anodizing, and an infinite selection of powder-coating color possibilities.
