Aluminium profiles for the automation market
Transforming industries of the future
What is aluminium precision extrusion?
Precision extrusion is a technique where aluminum or magnesium is pressed through a die with high accuracy. This allows for the production of complex profiles that meet strict tolerances starting from ± 0.02 mm — 10 times more precise than the NEN-EN-12020-2 standard norm in aluminum extrusion.
During this process, an aluminum billet is first heated in an oven until it is soft enough to be deformed. The exact temperature varies depending on the alloy and has a significant impact on the final product.
Precision extrusion
With dimensional tolerances starting from ± 0.02 mm. Holes, cable guides, and assembly slots can be co-extruded into multi-core profiles.
CNC machining
Mifa has a modern high-tech machine park with more than 30 machines — where we can process products up to 4.5 meters in length.
As a specialist in precision extrusion, we can extrude profiles with dimensional tolerances starting from ± 0.02 mm — ten times more precise than the NEN-EN 12020-2, the standard in aluminum extrusion. These are tolerances that are normally only achievable through mechanical post-processing. Mifa can achieve this directly from the die.
Straightness and torsion
We offer this precision not only in tolerances but also in continuous shape stability. Precision in the straightness and torsion of aluminum profiles is essential for applications where dimensional accuracy and form stability are crucial. Straightness refers to the extent to which a profile is perfectly straight along its length, while torsion indicates the degree to which the profile is twisted around its longitudinal axis.
While many manufacturers need to perform machining operations to remove material allowances, Mifa extrudes so precisely that additional machining is no longer necessary — resulting in cost savings.
