We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Aluminium Profile",
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 Fastener ensures electrical connection on Al frame from
Machine Building Systems, which we summarised at the time by saying "A fastener, when tightened, causes its screw to destroy and displace aluminium anodising immediately around it, giving a guaranteed electrical connection to one piece of
profile".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Conveyors offered in steel, SS and aluminium from
Automation Supplies: "Automation Supplies in the Uk is now a distributor of Dorner Manufacturing conveyor systems, including designs in steel, stainless steel and aluminium profile construction".
In August 2007, we covered the news from Bosch Rexroth
- take a look at Automated handling systems build simplified
which says: "A Cartesian motion building system, combines purposely adapted linear motion systems and motors with pneumatic mini slides, rotary modules, grippers and positive-locking connection technology".
Take a look also at the news release from Automation Supplies, Lineshaft roller conveyors are cost effective,
as well as Conveyor belts steam cleaned automatically from HepcoMotion,
and Automation systems part suit clean rooms from Applied Automation (UK) MayTec Division.
