Activities Advanced CNC Machining of Aluminium

From extruded profile to a precisely machined component

Aluminium machining often involves much more than simply cutting a profile to length and drilling a few holes. Complex components require the right CNC technology, a carefully designed manufacturing process, efficient clamping, precise workpiece positioning and a high level of repeatability throughout the entire production series.

At Aluminium Kety Emmi, we specialise in CNC machining of demanding aluminium components, using various machining processes to transform extruded profiles and other aluminium semi-finished products into components with a high level of added value. Our machinery includes 3-, 4- and 5-axis CNC machining capabilities, machining of long workpieces and CNC turning.

Precisely machined aluminium component

Complex geometry requires the right technology

The optimum machining technology depends on the component geometry, dimensions, required tolerances, number of machining operations, surface requirements and planned production volumes.

Depending on product requirements, our CNC machining operations include:

  • 3-, 4- and 5-axis CNC milling
  • CNC turning
  • drilling
  • thread machining
  • machining of grooves, pockets and functional surfaces
  • multi-side machining
  • precision cutting and finishing
  • combination of different machining operations on a single component
Long, complex or geometrically demanding extruded aluminium profiles present a particular challenge. Our CNC capabilities also include linear milling machines for long workpieces and gantry CNC machines for demanding machining of larger components.

Automation for efficient series production

When designing a manufacturing process, we look beyond the individual CNC operation and focus on the optimum concept for the entire production process.

Where the product, process and production volumes justify it, automation and robotic machine tending can be incorporated into the manufacturing concept. The objective is efficient series production, process stability and a high degree of repeatability.

Industrial robot for automated aluminium processing

Automation is not a goal in itself. Our aim is to establish a manufacturing process that provides the optimum combination of quality, productivity, flexibility and cost efficiency for each individual product.

From aluminium profile to functional component

Our advantage is that we do not view CNC machining as an isolated process. Machining can be part of a broader manufacturing chain in which we progressively add value to the aluminium semi-finished product.

  2. CNC machining
  3. Quality control
  4. Packaging

In addition to CNC machining, Aluminium Kety Emmi provides aluminium surface treatment and assembly capabilities, enabling customers to consolidate different manufacturing stages with a single partner.

Precision, repeatability and traceability

In series production, producing one good component is not enough. The required quality and product characteristics need to be maintained throughout the entire production series.

Our machining processes are therefore supported by appropriate inspection and measurement. Aluminium Kety Emmi also uses CMM coordinate measuring technology and supports production traceability through DMC codes.

More than CNC machining

Our goal is not simply to machine aluminium, but to work with our customers to create an efficient path from aluminium semi-finished product to a demanding industrial component.

The more demanding the component, the greater the opportunity to apply our technological expertise, experience, advanced CNC technology and automation.
