Why do we need drawings for aluminum profile machining?

Why do we need drawings for aluminum profile machining? When it comes to aluminum profile machining, the machining drawings must be mentioned, which shows the importance of drawings to aluminum profile machining.

The drawings of aluminum profiles are classified into two types, one is machining drawings and another is three-dimensional drawings.

The machining drawings mainly realize the content of machining operations, the three-dimensional drawings mainly show the specific structure of the frame, both are not conflicting.

There is no drawing in the workshop and there is no way to process it; the customer has no drawing and no way to assemble it.

Therefore, the drawings are very important for aluminum profile machining.

The machining drawings of aluminum profile

In the machining drawings, we can clearly know the details of aluminum profile, such as the specifications and alloy and temper, the cutting length, the location of the hole, the type of hole, the size of the hole, tapping on the end face, the size of the tap, milling, CNC machining and so on.

When such machining drawings are sent to the production workshop, the technicians can understand and get a general idea.

Aluminum profiles will be fabricated according to the machining drawings, so that they can be used to build various frame structures.

The types of holes drilled or punched on aluminum profiles are countersunk holes, anchor holes and through holes.

The size and depth of the holes are generally processed according to the requirements.

Tapping is generally performed at the end of the profile. If the end of the profile has a center hole, tapping can be performed. Commonly used tapping sizes are M6 and M8.

Tapping and punching are generally charged, and the specific cost can be determined by discussing with the machining provider.

The main function of aluminum profile drilling and tapping is to facilitate the installation of various accessories, including bolts and nuts, feet, elastic fasteners, anchor connection pins, built-in connectors, casters, bevel connectors, etc.

If we don’t want to make the machining for aluminum profile, we can usually assemble it with a corner piece or a connecting accessory, which is more convenient.

So what should we do if the customer has no drawing?

For the machining drawing of the frame, customers can provide simple sketches, and aluminum profile manufacturers can provide specific three-dimensional drawings in free for the customer.

For the machining drawings of aluminum profile, there is no need to worry about this.

As long as the three-dimensional drawings of the frame are confirmed and approved, the technicians will work out the machining drawings and submit them to the processing staff in the workshop for fabrication.
