STOP PRESS:
ABL has increased the capability of the Mecal and can now machine aluminium extrusions up to 14,000mm long!!
Presses & Drills
ABL designs its own tools to ensure excellent quality components are produced to tight tolerances from aluminium extrusions, castings or sheet. This ensures that we keep set-up prices as low as possible which is particularly important for new products or projects, low quantity parts and product development or prototyping.
Machining
Machining, or fabrication / milling, plays a major part in most aluminium extrusion component work. ABL will often machine aluminium extrusion components where the fabrication detail cannot pre-designed into the aluminium extrusion profile shape itself.
Machining can be done on a wide range of machines such as CNC equipment, drills, tapping machines, punches or presses. The choice of machine is determined by:
ABL Components has a large range of equipment which is capable of fabricating / milling a wide variety of aluminium extrusions to short and long length component requirements. The ability to also machine components which also need to be a high surface finish means ABL offers one of the most comprehensive machining facilities for aluminium extrusions in the country.
