Aluminum profile is a common industrial material, which is widely used in the fields of construction, automobile, machinery manufacturing, etc. In order to meet the needs of different fields, aluminum profile enclosures need to go through various processing methods, including Cutting,Drilling and Surface treatment etc,. The following will briefly introduce these processing crafts.
1. Cutting: Cutting is the most common way to process aluminum profiles. Aluminum profiles are extruded by a die, so the height and width of each aluminum profile boxes are fixed. However, the length can be customized. Generally Speaking, the cutting methods include mechanical sawing, manual sawing, cutting machines, etc.
2. Drilling: Drilling is mainly used to process holes in aluminum profiles to install bolts, pins and other connectors. Drilling methods usually include manual drilling, electric drilling and CNC machining, etc. You only need to send your processing drawings or PCB boards to supplier to process.
3. Surface treatment: Aluminum profile enclosures have good corrosion resistance and wear resistance, but they are single in color. In order to meet the personalized needs for different customers, various colors and textures can be added to aluminum profiles through surface treatment,such as sandblasting anodizing, power coating and wire drawing anodizing ect,. For aluminum profile enclsore, many customers usually would like to prefer sandblasting anodizing.
4. Printing: If you want to have your company name, product function description and other fonts on the product, then silkscreen printing or laser engraving is very important. For silkscreen printing there are many characteristics, sush as diversified colors and low cost. In addition, the screen printing board can be reused. However, since the font is printed with ink, it is easy to wear and fall off over time. At this time, laser engraving can make up for this shortcoming because it is engraved by laser. Thus, the logo will not fall off. However, its cost is higher than silk screen printing and the color is single. Thus, you can choose one of them acoording to your own needs.
5. Polishing: Polishing can improve the surface finish of aluminum profile enclosure, the anti-oxidation and anti-corrosion properties. which makes it more artistics. In addition, polishing methods include mechanical polishing, chemical polishing, etc.
6. Stamping: Stamping is a processing method suitable for mass production. It be used a mold to process the aluminum profile enclosure into the required shape at one time. Stamping methods include shearing, punching, forming, etc.
7. New Mould Design: In aluminum profile items production, molds are important tool that determine the precision and quality of aluminum profile items. If the supplier does not have a model that meets your needs, you can ask them to open a new mold for you. You only need to send the cross-sectional drawings or physical samples of aluminum profile enclosure to supplier.
In short, there are many ways to process aluminum profile enclosure. You can choose the appropriate processing method according to your needs. Therefore, aluminum profile is indispensable in the industrial field. In future, it may be applied to more undeveloped fields. However, while we actively explore the application value and promote their development, we should also pay attention to environmental protection and avoid negative impacts on the environment.
