At ETEM we know that it doesn’t matter how beautifully engineered our products are, if they are not in the right place at exactly the right time, we are not delivering exceptional service.
ETEM makes life easier for our customers by offering a service that can extend to entire logistics chain coordination. That includes subcontractors and other manufacturers, with a guarantee of timely delivery at each stage.
Our products are subject to rigorous quality control and once they are ready to dispatch we offer a range of smart logistics solutions to ensure they get to you when you need them. Lightweight aluminium has distinctive logistics advantages – each truck can carry up to three times as many aluminium parts as steel – allowing us to pass on benefits to our customers in terms of cost and environmental impact.
Before our products are ready to ship there are a number of technical processes that they might go through.
Cutting is the first stage for every ETEM product. Accuracy and excellence are fundamental at the cutting stage, as this lays the foundation for the quality of the final product.
We use different high precision saws, appropriate for a wide range of aluminium profiles of various sizes and weights, to cut to even the most detailed and demanding requirements.
ETEM precision cutting equipment: 4 SAWS (CNC)
- Emmegi – V-Cut
max. length 6.5m
min cutting length – 12mm+/-0.15 (angle cut – 0o-45o)
- Emmegi – Automatica
max. length 6.5m
min cutting length – 15mm+/-0.15
- JIH AUTO 24 D
max cutting length 2.9m
min cutting length – 15mm+/-0.15
- Emmegi Combi 5 assi Star – twin head cutting machine with 5 axes for compound cuts. Has motor-driven and electronically controlled rotation of the horizontal axis (22°30’ external angles and 45° internal angles) and the vertical axis (45° internal angles).
Every advanced aluminium profile component requires precision machining to meet ETEM’s high standards. CNC (Computer Numerical Control) equipment is programmed to perform operations such as cutting, drilling, thread cutting, broaching, milling, mechanical deburring, etc., The use of these processes allows us to achieve excellent tolerances.
Mechanical working (CNC) – cutting, milling, drilling, tap drilling, tread cutting and contour cutting – equipment:
- Emmegi Satellite – 5 axis milling/cutting center max. length 6m
Punching is primarily used for cutting holes in profiles. Precision tooling and in-depth knowhow ensure ETEM products meet exact specifications and are ready to use on delivery.
ETEM punching equipment:
– 4 eccentric presses from (20 to 100 tons), two with automated feeding system (NC), feeding step +/-0.15mm
– 2 hydraulic presses (15 tons), one with automated feeding system (NC) feeding step +/-0.15mm
– 4 pneumatic presses (5 tons). Can function separately or together (in group)
– Electromechanical shutter punching machine
– Hydraulic shutter punching machine
Bending – one direction bending of profiles.
Minimum bending radius of 450 - 600mm (depending on profile cross section).
Various bending methods are employed to create our products, depending on requirements.
- Draw bending - tight radiuses.
- Roller bending - large radiuses.
- Stretch bending - offers the greatest accuracy in three-dimensional form.
- Press bending - a low cost method, ideal where accuracy is not the top priority.
- Insulation – joining aluminium profiles with thermo-brake polyamide strips.
- Brush and seal injector (for assembly of profiles with brushes or seals).
- Assembling – screw mounting, sticking and labeling, pressing.
ETEM aluminum profiles. One supplier, countless applications.
