1. Pressing of the raw profiles The raw profiles are produced by the extrusion process. In this process, an aluminum block or billet is brought to temperature and pressed through a die. 2. Preparation of the blanks After cooling and post-treatment such as stretching, the profiles are sawn and sent for mechanical processing. 3. Universal clamping devices Universal clamping devices allow the clamping of different profiles, e.g. side profile, front profile, rear profile etc. without retooling the machine. If different clamping fixtures are required due to very different profiles, they can often be installed in parallel due to the dimensions of the clamping bridges, which means that no retooling of the machines is required. 4. Measuring of the profiles Measuring of the profiles: Due to the tolerances from the extrusion process, it is necessary to measure individual geometries using probes or lasers before the first machining operation. 5. Independent double machining Precise machining is performed on two spindles in the ANGER SP2-P or SP2-A. Both machine types can be loaded and unloaded in parallel during machining, thus ensuring maximum output rates. 6. Optional downstream processes Depending on the downstream process, a cleaning process takes place in the ANGER cleaning tower immediately after machining by blowing off with air nozzles or rinsing with emulsion.
