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 Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Drives save power on massive presses from
Control Techniques, which we summarised at the time by saying "Alcoa's aluminium extrusion presses were upgraded in 1998, a big project requiring the installation of 12 132kW Unidrives".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release PC-driven prototyping adds design confidence from
Micromech: "The use of a PC-based CNC machine has helped a manufacturer improve the quality of its designs by allowing the company to make more prototypes".
In August 2007, we covered the news from Heraeus Noblelight
concerning its Heraeus Noblelight infra-red welding
- take a look at Infra-red emitters provide box welding
which says: "The weld achieved using short wave infra-red emitters was stronger than the parent material itself and that there was no burning of the HDPE".
Take a look also at the news release from Bosch Rexroth - Linear Motion and Assembly, Rack accommodates fastener system,
as well as Belt conveyors are based on aluminium extrusions from Automation Supplies,
and Belt conveyor handles heavy items from Machine Building Systems.
