Custom Aluminum Fabrication

Abelly Aluminium profile machining is an industrial manufacturing process which starts with extruded aluminium bars (profiles) to produce parts with specific shapes and sizes.

The process starts with aluminium profiles, usually 6063 or 6005 alloys, which can be unfinished, lacquered or anodized. These profiles are manufactured by extrusion, where the aluminium is heated to a certain temperature before softening and being passed through a die (designed with the desired shape) while cooling at the outlet until it solidifies to match that shape. In the machining process, the profile is cut to the required length, and modified by subtractive manufacturing process until the required geometry for the final piece is achieved.

The profiles are fed into our machining machines from a loading table and are introduced to the machining and cutting area by means of a feeder. It is in this way that the bars advance at the pace of the various operations that are carried out in the machine, with continuous profiles entering and pieces of the desired geometry coming out the end. Some of the common operations, in addition to cutting, are drilling, countersinking, threading, routing, reaming, stamping, milling, etc.

Profile machining is always linked to the cutting process, since the profiles are generally manufactured in lengths of between 6 and 7 metres. To achieve the desired length of the piece, cutting discs with tungsten carbide welded teeth are used, which guarantee the necessary repeatability and precision. Depending on the complexity of the part, more processes can be added to the machining. we are specialists in the manufacture of parts by the machining of aluminium profiles and we accompany our customers from conception through to the mass production of the desired part.
