Machining of extruded aluminum profiles

A specific expertise for extruded aluminum profiles

Palumbo Industries machines high-precision components from extruded aluminum profiles, primarily intended for electric vehicles and applications requiring lightweight design, rigidity, and dimensional stability.

Aluminum, infinitely recyclable, offers an excellent strength-to-weight ratio and significantly reduces the mass of mechanical systems. We master the machining of grades 2017, 5083, 6060, 6061, and 6082, with T4 or T6 heat treatments to enhance their mechanical performance. The aesthetic, optical, and corrosion resistance properties of our products are improved through surface treatments such as anodizing or metallization.

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
