8 SOLUTIONS FOR ALUMINIUM EXTRUSION PLANTS EXTRUDED PROFILES FOR A WIDE RANGE OF APPLICATIONS Whether for window frames, vehicle trim strips or football goal posts, we frequently come across aluminium profiles in everyday life. What they have in common is the way they are made. They are pressed from aluminium billets as extruded profi- les up to 50 m long, cut to transportable lengths and automatically stacked in special skips for trans- port. Depending on the intended use, the profiles can be heat-treated in aging furnaces before further refinement, such as anodic oxidation or powder-coating. We design and implement the complete automa- tion of the material flow from the delivery of bil- lets to the dispatch of the aluminium profiles. Our conveyor and automatic crane systems ensure the efficient transport of material between the saw of the press discharge system, the aging furnaces and the further processing and packaging stations. Transport and manufacturing control systems as well as host systems with connection to the ERP ensure perfect connectivity of all processes for the production of extrusion profiles. 1 Automatic crane with 3 individual lifting traverses for transporting 6 m, 12 m or 18 m long aluminium profiles at Schletter 2 Automatic crane at Hydro Aluminium 3 At apt Hiller, the automatic crane has a special traverse with swiveling gripping arms 2 3 1
