Assembling with Aluminum Extrusions

What do a rotary indexing assembly machine, a workstation, and the drum kit for the rock band Pink Floyd have in common? All three have been built with modular aluminum extrusions. And though few assemblers care how Nick Mason hangs his high hat, they are interested in building flexible equipment that can be reconfigured to meet changing demands. The lifecycle of most products today is less than a year, especially in the electronics industry. Aluminum extrusions allow manufacturers to reconfigure their assembly lines quickly and easily.

More than just components for machine builders and systems integrators, aluminum extrusions are being used by assemblers to custom-build fixtures, workstations, material handling systems and machine guards.

There isn't a plant in the country where I could not find applications for aluminum extrusions and components.
