Production line and factory setup overview
Manufactures extrusion dies, mandrels and support tooling for aluminium profiles through profile and press review, die-steel selection, CAD/CAM, CNC/EDM machining, nitriding, polishing, die-stack assembly, press trials and profile measurement.
Recommended lowest-entry line configuration This is specialist medium-industrial tooling. Accept work only for a named extrusion press and defined alloy/profile. Confirm press container and die diameter, billet alloy, profile wall, tongue ratio, bearing length, exit temperature, quench, puller/runout and finish requirement before die manufacture.
Production process and implementation sequence
- Target-machine and buyer-drawing review
- CAD/CAM and material/heat-treatment selection
- Cutting, machining, EDM or CNC routing
- Assembly, fitting and surface finishing
- Trial production with target material
- Measurement, functional checks and repeat-cycle inspection
- Packing, documentation and release
Products, capacity and market fit
- Tooling must be designed around the target production machine and released buyer drawing.
- First-off samples, measured dimensions and repeat-cycle evidence must be accepted before production release.
- Start with one high-demand product family and retain tool drawings, settings and maintenance records.
- Aluminium extrusion dies - Named press/container and die diameter, aluminium alloy, profile section and wall, bearing/tongue design, quench and finish requirements - Aluminium window/profile plants, building-material extruders, industrial profile buyers and press-maintenance workshops
Core production machinery and line specifications
| Machine / stage | Function / value | Production note |
|---|---|---|
| Profile/die CAD station | Designs flow and bearing geometry | Press/profile match |
| CNC/EDM machining cell | Cuts die apertures and ports | Flow geometry |
| Heat/nitriding service | Hardens and protects die steel | Surface life |
| Polishing/assembly bench | Finishes bearings and die stack | Profile finish |
| Extrusion trial/measurement | Validates produced profile | Twist, dimensions and surface |
Raw materials, utilities and factory requirements
- H13 die steel, backing/bolster components, nitriding service, EDM wire/electrodes, polishing compounds, gauges and packing
- Stable three-phase power, guarded machining, calibrated measuring tools, covered material/tool storage and safe lifting/handling
- Documented maintenance, critical wear spares, approved coolants/lubricants and product-specific safety controls
Indicative low-entry investment and implementation plan
These planning ranges prioritize economical machinery, local labor and local civil works. Final pricing follows confirmed capacity, product specification, delivery terms and site conditions.
| Scope | Indicative range | Entry-plan note |
|---|---|---|
| Die CAD/CAM, CNC/EDM and steel preparation | US$90k-280k | Specialist die workshop |
| Nitriding, polishing, metrology and assembly | US$35k-135k | Bearing and surface control |
| Press trials, correction and die stock | US$25k-100k | Profile-specific validation |
| Indicative entry total | US$150k-515k | Extrusion press, building and billet excluded |
