Profile Precision Extrusions Leads Innovation in Custom Aluminum Fabrication of Larger Aluminum Extruded Shapes

Phoenix, Arizona (PRLeap)June 2, 2007 – Profile Precision Extrusions (http://www.profileprecisionextrusions.com/) has been producing the thinnest, lightest, most complex custom aluminum extrusions and custom aluminum fabrications for over 18 years. Now Profile Precision Extrusions is introducing their innovative technology to bring machine tolerances to large aluminum extruded shape and extruded aluminum tubing.

Historically, only the very smallest extrusion presses could hold dimensional tolerances to as little as .001” on precision extrusion orders. These small presses typically can only make parts that fit inside a 3.50” diameter circle. Profile has expanded the circle size for precision extruded aluminum tubing and aluminum extruded shapes by over 100%. Profile also offers custom aluminum fabrication services such as CNC machining, anodizing, drilling & tapping, and cutting-to-length.

“We know there are manufacturers out there who need custom aluminum extrusion solutions for larger shapes. We see extruded aluminum tubing and shape designs from them every week. Up until now we’ve had to refer them to commercial extruders who can not provide the precision they need. The customers end up having to compromise by increasing the design tolerances and working harder to assemble their parts” said Tom Gilluly, Sales & Marketing Manager.

Customers will benefit from shortened lead times and flexible scheduling of their custom aluminum extrusion orders. New and existing customers will also benefit from knowing that a back up press is available in the event of equipment downtime for their precision extrusion requirements. A benefit not offered by any of Profiles competitors!

The new 5 1/8”, 700 ton press was installed during March and April of 2007. Profile will have the capability to run 3.5”, 4.5”, and 5.125” containers on 2 extrusion presses. Profile has historically focused on the miniature precision extrusion market. Their customers come from a variety of markets such as medical & surgical devices, recreational, scientific R&D, and industrial equipment.
