When it comes to high-tech areas of application, milling aluminium is a matter of accuracy down to thousandths of a millimetre and a technology with many parameters. We at alimex feel at home in this perfection range. Many factors need to be taken into account in order to achieve the perfect result when milling aluminium. It can be the little things which make the difference. In most areas of application for cast aluminium elements in which it comes down to high-precision surfaces – in the optics or mechanical engineering industries, for example – variations cannot be tolerated: because they mean losses of performance and quality or even production downtimes – and thus ultimately an enormous cost risk.
The focus in aluminium milling is on knowledge of the properties and handling requirements of the particular alloy: each alloy reacts differently to milling. The heat generated by the high milling speeds can make the aluminium soft; the milling result would be compromised or ruined by filings sticking to the material. The milling technology at alimex makes use of state-of-the-art machinery. As a result, all CNC processes and systems can be handled, meaning that integration into the customer’s process and documentation chain is absolutely reliably possible. Because only when the starting material, milling machine and well-founded trade knowledge come together perfectly can the high-quality workpiece which meets alimex’s standards and which its customers expect come into being.
It is hard to imagine many industries without aluminum as a material. Special surface treatments create even more fields of application. Many industrial sectors therefore rely on aluminum products along their own supply chains. But especially when aluminum is to be used in high-tech industries (optics, vacuum chambers, etc.), expert advice is in demand and indispensable.
We at alimex would like to offer you this service and support you in your production of milled aluminum parts with our know-how. Aluminum milling is a technique with many parameters.
Many factors have to be taken into account to achieve the ideal result when milling aluminium. It can be small things that make the decisive difference. Precise surfaces are particularly important in the optical industry.
In addition: We are also happy to combine services such as aluminium milling with expert and equally precise aluminium sawing. In this way, you have a wide range of options to achieve the best possible product and can cleverly combine different technical solutions.
When it comes to demand-based aluminium milling, there are a few ways to optimise the end product. For example, thanks to our many years of experience, we can confidently decide which milling speed is suitable and which machine we should rely on for the challenge at hand. Together with the precise approach, which is quite crucial, we can therefore also serve many different industries, such as the mechanical engineering sector, the optical industry, medical technology, the automotive sector and the packaging industry, and meet the high demands.
It is also important to note that the work of aluminium milling depends on the respective alloys. These make the task correspondingly different and require new solutions. We do not compromise on quality and accordingly you can include us as a reliable partner in your supply chain.
