... is a central component of our production processes. Aluminium, a lightweight yet robust material, is used in numerous industries, including automotive engineering, aerospace, shop fitting and mechanical engineering. Its corrosion resistance, high strength and good formability make aluminium a sought-after material. The processing of aluminium requires specific mechanical services that contribute significantly to the shape and functionality of the components.

Examples of aluminium components include housings for electronic components, loudspeakers, furniture handles, hi-fi components, but also smaller components such as switch frames and other miniature components for industry. This component must be precisely moulded in order to protect the sensitive technology inside. Another example is the use of aluminium profiles in the construction industry, which often have to be cut to size and adapted to meet the structural requirements. Various mechanical processing techniques are used for this purpose.

One of the most common processing methods for aluminium is milling. This involves removing excess material from an aluminium blank in order to achieve the desired shape and surface quality. Our CNC (Computerised Numerical Control) machining is a precise milling method that enables the automated production of complex components with tight tolerances. The computerised control of the tools ensures a high level of repeat accuracy, which is particularly advantageous in series production.

During bending, aluminium is formed into a predetermined shape without the material breaking. This method is often used in the production of aluminium profiles or sheets used in architecture or mechanical engineering. Welding is used to join components together. Here, two aluminium parts are fused together using heat. This technique is used particularly frequently in vehicle construction, for example in the manufacture of car body parts.

Sawing is used to cut aluminium plates or profiles to the desired length. It is a basic technique that is used both in pre-production and in the customisation of components in the final stage. Engraving is used to apply markings, serial numbers or logos to aluminium components. Punching, on the other hand, is used to emboss holes or specific shapes in aluminium sheets. This is a fast and efficient process that we often use in mass production.

Finally, our laser marking enables permanent and precise marking of aluminium parts. By using our laser technology, fine lettering, barcodes or other information can be applied directly to the surface without damaging the material. This method is often used in the electronics and automotive industries.
