Aluminum Extrusions for Industrial Automation

In the past half century, under the joint action of the rising labor cost and the continuous improvement of automation technology, the rapid development of automation equipment has promoted the industrial upgrading and technological progress of the production industry, and some industries at home and abroad have initially realized automatic mechanized production. It is not only the result of the development of science and technology, but also the undoubted development trend of today's society to create new process technology and eliminate the original process equipment through the continuous updating of automation technology.

Then reduce cost, improve product quality and enhance production efficiency through automated production has become the consensus of the manufacturing industry, which also means that the requirements for automated equipment structure will be higher. Compared with the traditional steel structure and aluminum alloy frame we make a comparison.

Traditional steel structure:

1. must be welded by professionals                    6. the surface of the material must be painted

2. must prevent welding slag                          7. heavy, not conducive to handling and transportation

3. must be prepared to protect the equipment         8. steel shows that cleaning work is more complicated

4. must be prepared to fix and cutting machinery      9. may form rust

5. does not have corrosion resistance   

The advantages of choosing industrial aluminum profile frame structure:

1. Can be reused to manufacture complete equipment system components

2. The matching components are easy to assemble

3. Labor and cost savings

4.  Assembly work can be done without special tools (e.g. welding equipment)

5.  Aluminum elements naturally produce a protective oxide coating without the need for painting

6. Excellent thermal conductivity

7. Easy to clean due to the protection of the anodized layer

8. Non-toxic

9. Possible formation of rust and corrosion
