milling

precision surface milling

Milling aluminium is a matter of accuracy to the thousandth of a millimeter a technique with many parameters. Many factors must be considered to achieve the ideal result when milling aluminium. It can be little things that make the difference. Deviations are not acceptable in most applications of cast aluminium elements, because they reduce performance and introduce quality risks.
The knowledge of the properties and treatment requirements of the special alloy is at the forefront of aluminium milling: each alloy reacts differently to the milling process. Due to the high milling speeds, the resulting heat can soften the aluminium; the milling result would be impaired or destroyed by adhering chips. The milling technology at alimex uses state-of-the-art machinery. All CNC specifications and systems can be processed, so that the integration into the process and documentation chain of the customers is absolutely reliable.
