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 Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Machine framing systems in print from
MiniTec UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "New catalogue includes an engineering reference for structural calculations along with assembly hints, processing tools and a gallery of application examples".
Earlier in the week,
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 October 2007, we covered the news from PI (Physik Instrumente)
concerning its Linear stages provide compact solution
- take a look at Linear stages provide compact solution
which says: "A direct metrology linear encoder with 0.1um resolution provides high linearity and positioning accuracy".
Take a look also at the news release from MiniTec UK, Curved profiles meet custom needs,
as well as Aluminium chosen for machine guarding from Automation Supplies,
and Installation service offered for guarding systems from MiniTec UK.
