We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Anodised Aluminium",
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 Modular boring system covers wide diameter range from
WNT (UK), which we summarised at the time by saying "A modular multi-head boring system has a number of boring bars/bridges to achieve a required diameter using fine adjustment from a single spindle head".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Mould surfaces made more durable from
Keronite: "Aluminium is used as a replacement for expensive steel tools using patented chrome-free Keronite technology, improving durability and surface release properties".
In September 2007, we covered the news from Keronite
concerning its Plasma electrolytic oxidation - mould tools
- take a look at Aluminium tools reduce volume moulding costs
which says: "Plasma electrolytic oxidation enables aluminium to be used as a replacement for expensive steel tools by improving the durability and the release properties of the surface".
Take a look also at the news release from Penko Engineering, Weighing and force measurement digitised,
as well as Laser marking product development service offered from Electrox,
and Linear unit positions sensors, cameras from Igus (UK).
