We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Aluminium Profiles",
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 Five-axis machine drills and routs aluminium from
Elumatec UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "An advanced 5-axis profile machine centre will be shown at MACH 2008 and is capable of drilling, routing, tapping, cutting and notching in aluminium and steel".
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 June 2007, we covered the news from OHRA Regalanlagen
concerning its Racks
- take a look at Cantilever racks provide storage and save space
which says: "Matino in Kyritz previously stored heavy and delicate coils on the floor, but following the purchase of OHRA cantilever racks they gained storage space".
Take a look also at the news release from MiniTec UK, CNC profile bending for function or aesthetics,
as well as Flat pack approach to machine guarding from Automation Supplies,
and Online data library covers aluminium profiles from Applied Automation (UK) MayTec Division.
