Cross-section
Provide the profile drawing, alloy, temper and wall requirements.
Factory Tour · Process principles
Define the section. Then define the delivered form.
An extrusion carries a continuous cross-section. Alloy, temper, die geometry, cut length and downstream features together define the component that arrives for assembly.
The section and supplied condition are reviewed against the drawing and the intended connection.
Cross-sectionSupplied length
Separate the continuous section from downstream holes, cuts and machined faces.
Define the requirement
Bring the drawing, material and acceptance inputs.
Length and geometry
Define delivery length, straightness, twist, critical fits and downstream machining.
Finish and handling
Identify visible faces, finish requirements, packaging and material records.
Process principles
Choose where the profile route ends.
The same profile definition can lead to different supplied forms. Put the required delivery condition on the order.
Mill length
Section, alloy and temper with agreed length, straightness and handling requirements.
- Profile section
- Alloy and temper
- Length and handling
Cut to length
Finished lengths and end conditions for the next operation.
- Continuous section
- Cut length
- End condition
Machined component
Drilled, milled and finished profile components follow the approved drawing.
- Profile blank
- Holes and slots
- Finished interfaces
Verification and records
Inspect the section and the downstream features.
Profile geometry
Agree cross-section measurement, cut-length and straightness checks.
Machined datums
Define the critical holes, slots and locating faces that require dimensional verification.
Material and finish
Connect the extrusion batch to material records and the specified finish checks.
Project review
Connect the route to your requirement.
Send the material or drawing definition, intended use and the acceptance records needed for review.
