Aluminum machining – Precision, lightweight, performance

A specific expertise for extruded aluminum profiles

Palumbo Industries machines high precision components from aluminum extruded profiles, mostly for electric vehicles and for all applications requiring lightweight, rigidity and geometrical stability.

L’aluminium, recyclable à l'infini, offre un excellent rapport rigidité/poids et permet de réduire significativement la masse des systèmes mécaniques. Nous maîtrisons l’usinage des nuances 2017, 5083, 6060, 6061, 6082, avec traitements thermiques T4 ou T6 pour renforcer leurs performances mécaniques. Les qualités esthétiques, optiques et de tenue à la corrosion de nos produits sont améliorées par traitements de surface de type anodisation ou métallisation.

Machining is performed on :

• Rotary transfer machines for large series
• Robotized machining centers for complex geometries and medium series

This combination ensures a high productivity, a consistent quality, and a perfect repeatability.

Advantages of aluminium machining

Key factors :

• Reduction of structural weight and of energy consumption
• Enhanced mechanical properties after T4 / T6 heat treatments
• High performance anodized or metallized surface finishing (reflectance > 85 %)
• Dimensional stability of narrow or long parts

Applications of machined aluminum profiles

• Optical reflectors for LED systems (patented)
• Frames and components of battery for electric vehicles
• Elements of car suspensions
• Light and rigid car body reinforcement
• Components of braking systems requiring a high level of particle cleanliness
