ALIEN

It avoids surface problems on the outer walls thanks to the cooling channels in the core Required when you need better roughness and roundness.

for 6000 series alloys.

Products: Pneumatic cylinders, round tubes.

AMVICO CUT

Four axis wire cut to maintain maximum support for critical shelves. With the Amvico cut we can vary the length of the area and the degrees of the discharge to optimize the supports and the flow.

for 6000 series alloys.

Products: Heat sinks, flower type heat sink and Critical Shelves.

BIG EYE

A customized milling to better support the mandrel details. It applies to any type of critical mandrel support, from screw channels to rectangular shelves. Big Eye can be applied to the hood sections instead of the Amvico cut when the need for free milling is required by the client.

for all aluminium alloys.

Products: Drawbar rings, curtain frames and heat sinks.

BUTTERFLY

Our evergreen solution for maximum diffusion and optimal feeding of internal beams. Today The Butterfly Die is a registered trademark in Europe, USA and Canada.

for all types of aluminium alloy.

Products: Curtain Walls and Solar Panels.

CATERPILLAR

Solution to eliminate the central power supplies; the internal parts of the mandrels are not connected by spokes, they’re independent. The result is a more uniform formation across the entire section of the profile, a reduced outlet temperature and therefore a superior micro structure.

for 6000-series alloys requiring T6 and crush test.Products: Bumpers and Crush Boxes

CORONA

Corona is a double mandrel construction to allow better feeding of aluminium inside the small cores. The improved welding seam integrity and reduced outlet temperature are the main advantages. Corona is synonymous with higher productivity especially in the case of AA6082, typically subject to tearing.

for AA6082 and AA6005.

Products: Rollers, Spacing Wheels.

DOG BONE

It reduces the incidence of cracks on the edges of the dies. The greatest stress on the edges of the dies is usually found on small radii and the tip of the fins where the tension stress is given by the bending of the tool. With the Dog Bone technology we apply a compressive force that reduces stress where necessary, increasing the life of the die.

for all 6000-series alloys.

Products: Windows, Profiles with Large Masses and Curtain Walls.

FANTINO

Our solution for the integrity of the welding seam and the minimum frontal defect extension. The bridges of the cores are drilled with the intention of better feeding the undercut. Fantino is the best solution when it’s applied in the profile with a low extrusion ratio.

for AA6082 and AA6005.

Products: Cylinders Pumps Engine.

INVERSE PYRAMID

It reduces the die volume and it increases recovery without affecting extrusion speed. The Inverse Pyramid Technology can be applied to pipes and profiles with a single core.

for AA6082 and AA6005.

Products: Tubular products.

NO DEAD ZONES

It removes everything that is not needed from the sections.Thanks to the finite element analysis, Alumat is able to shape the entrances, the chambers and the welding chambers of the dead zones. Superior anodized quality and reduced die volume are among the main advantages of this solution. The best applications are profiles for curtain walls and structural profiles that require the elimination of the front-end defect.

For AA6082, AA6005, AA6063 alloys and alloys with magnesium.

Products: Curtain walls and structural profiles.

PANTHEON

Ancient geometries applied to design. The principle of the beam is applied to the mandrel while the enlarger acts as a stress absorber. This unique concept was developed for 7000 series aluminium alloy extrusion.

Products: Bars, Bumpers, Telescopic Chains.

SHRINKING RING

It reduces the diameter and increases the life of the die in a single solution. The edges of the dies are subjected to strong stress and can exceed the limit of plasticity. Using the principle of thermal shrinkage, we apply a ring to the section of the die in order to reduce its bending under load and, consequently, the stress peak. Thanks to the Shrinking Ring technology, the dies are more stable and their service life can even double. Last but not least, by using a keyed ring it’s possible to reduce the required diameter of the die and / or give full guarantee to a die that would normally crack under load.

for all types of aluminium.

Products: Profiles for trains

SINGLE BRIDGE

The simplest solution that works best. Single Bridge is probably the most common design for architectural profiles. The advantages are related not only to a better surface quality, but also to a reduced penetration force and a lower profile outlet temperature. The stability of the mandrel is reduced but thanks to FEA it’s not a problem if you choose Alumat.

for soft and hard alloys.

Products: Wall Curtains, Windows, Custom Profiles.

STRAITJACKET

The Shrinking technology applied to mandrels. The radial force applied by the Straitjacket compresses the bridges thus reducing the tension stress on the fall when the mandrel is under load. It’s best application are the porthole dies subject to a limited life due to sudden breakage of the mandrel section.

for 7000-series aluminium alloys.

Products: Bumpers.

TORPEDO

We applied the ideal arc profile of a torpedo to our pouches and feeders to create a solid die with no dead metal areas. Torpedo technology applies in particular to bus bars which offer the best micro structure.

for profiles of 6000 alloys subject to considerable bending.

Products: Sideboards.

TURBO

Probably the best performing project on the market for curtain walls. The advantage is high productivity, low output temperature and a superior anodized finish. Turbo is the result of 30 years of collaboration with our clients.

for AA6060 and AA6063.

Products: Sideboards.

UNDER THE BRIDGE

Ask for “Under the Bridge” if your priority is to know the exact position of the welds. With 12 years of experience in Finite Element Analysis our team of engineers can realize the final position of the required welds. This technology is the best for automotive profiles that are often subject to welding position limitations.

Products: Profiles for trains, structural profiles.

ZERO DIE CORRECTIONS

“Zero Die Corrections” is no longer a mirage but an achievable goal. The mechanism is simple; we improve the design of the die until perfection is achieved.
