We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Aluminium Extrusions",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Spiral wrapping machines prove reliability from
Aetna UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "As a company's two existing spiral wrapping machines had proven to be extremely reliable, fast, safe and perfect for spiral wrapping, an aluminium extrusions supplier saw no need to change
supplier".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release CNC machine improves prototypes costing from
Micromech: "A prototyping company, not satisfied with more traditional processes, now machines solid models using a PC-driven CNC router to work wood, plastics, MDF, and non-ferrous metals".
In September 2007, we covered the news from Wickens Engineering
concerning its Racking layout
- take a look at Metals stockholder gets new racking layout
which says: "Understanding exactly what a metals stockholder requires as regards storage racking and easy accessibility is why a storage systems supplier was asked to design a racking layout".
Take a look also at the news release from Bosch Rexroth, Aluminium extrusions provide elements for rack,
as well as Flat-belt conveyors with larger steel pulley from Machine Building Systems,
and Large cantilever racking system for MCM from Wickens Engineering.
