Aluminum is a popular material in many industries due to its good workability and ability to be bent and formed into a variety of shapes. However, when high demands are placed on the material in terms of load-bearing capacity or weight-bearing capacity, the resulting beams and profiles can become quite massive and difficult to bend.
This is the case with modern cable car and gondola construction, where cabins are often designed with curved edges and a lot of glass surfaces. The lightweight aluminum construction of these cabins often requires the corner columns to be bent in multiple dimensions, while maintaining a cambered surface. Bending aluminum to meet these high requirements is a challenging task.
.
At Alu-Line, we have the expertise to manufacture sophisticated geometries in series for these types of cabins and their tracks. Our services include bending and further processing on a 5-axis CNC machining center, and we can accommodate large dimensions, such as 200 x 100 mm and larger.
In addition to ropeway construction, our aluminum expertise can be utilized in special vehicles, caravan and mobile home construction, and aircraft construction. Contact us for more information and to discuss your project needs.
