Aluminium Extrusions - machining, finishing and assembly

Having all its facilities and processes under one roof allows ABL to tightly control its aluminium extrusions component machining, finishing and assembly operations which in turn allows the company to offer high quality and short lead times. The quality department uses up to date measuring equipment including CMM technology and also offers APQP quality tools to control quality and support its customers.

Aluminium Extrusions - Design for Manufacture

ABL Aluminium Components supports its customers by stockholding aluminium extrusions and components resulting in increased service levels and shorter lead times. Design support is offered, including full CAD facilities, from initial aluminium extrusion design right through the design process with particular emphasis on design for manufacture to reduce production costs. On-going production engineering support assists in achieving continuous improvements, which in turn help to reduce costs and ensure ABL offers competitive prices and value for money to its customers. Small batch quantities are offered to support customers.

Anodising - Anodise for Preparation and Protection

Anodising can substantially increase corrosion resistance and wear resistance, and anodised parts provide better adhesion for paint primers and glues than bare metal. ABL Aluminium Components has the capacity to anodise your components ranging from 10 mm to 2.7 metres in shades of gold, silver, natural and black.
Anodise your components at ABL to achieve a number of cosmetic effects, either with thick porous coatings that can absorb dyes or with thin transparent coatings that add interference effects to reflected light.
Anodising can be performed on parts you supply or as one of the added processes applied to components we manufacture for you.
