Machinery & Fabrication
Application-led profiles supporting machine construction, heat dissipation, modular assemblies, transport, and equipment enclosures.

Concept illustration. Final geometry, tolerances, alloy, and finish are confirmed during technical review.
Selection guide
Use these categories to frame an enquiry. Availability and production suitability depend on section geometry and order requirements. Compare the 5xxx, 6xxx and 7xxx alloy families.
Engineering priorities
Profile family breakdown
Industrial sections range from standard bars, rods, tubes, angles, and channels to application-led profiles for modular framing, transport, lighting, filtration, conveyors, and thermal management.
GROUP 01
353 listed sections
General-purpose solid and hollow sections for fabrication, frames, brackets, furniture, guards, supports, and machined components.
General purpose structural and decorative applications.
Flat bars with rounded edges for smoother aesthetic finish.
Solid round rods for curtain rods, support/hinge pins, handles, decorative grilles, balustrade spindles, connecting rods, and CNC-machined components.
Solid square bars for structural posts, furniture legs, modular framing, support brackets, decorative grilles, and machine components.
Hollow round tubes for railing posts, handrails, curtain rods, furniture legs, conduit housing, structural framework, and decorative elements.
Round tubes with decorative fluted (grooved) outer surface for decorative columns, curtain rods, railing posts, furniture legs, and architectural accents.
Hollow square tubes for structural frames, modular furniture, racking systems, partition framing, display stands, and gate fabrication.
Hollow rectangular tubes for door/window frames, partition frameworks, racking uprights, structural beams, furniture, signage frames, and cabinet construction.
L-shaped profiles with equal legs for edge protection, corner reinforcement, frame construction, shelf supports, and general-purpose brackets.
L-shaped profiles with unequal leg widths for corner trims, frame stiffening, cladding edges, and asymmetric structural supports.
C-shaped channels for glass holding tracks, panel edging, sliding door tracks, cable management, and panel mounting rails.

Profiles for retail display, exhibition stands, poster frames, menu boards, signage holders, and showroom display shelving.
Selection notes
Before selecting a section
Identify slots, ribs, screw ports, locating faces, cable paths, or snap fits the section must integrate.
Share span, support, load direction, deflection limits, and any impact or vibration conditions.
Define cut, drill, tap, mill, bend, weld, or assembly steps and the datums they depend on.
State critical dimensions, inspection needs, packing format, batch quantity, and replenishment pattern.

Where it fits

Purpose-built sections for machinery, enclosures, automation, transport, and thermal management.

Application-specific aluminium sections for cabin structures, equipment frames, thermal housings, and precision aerospace assemblies.

Lightweight structural, crash-management, battery, trim, and thermal profile concepts for vehicle manufacturing.

Profiles for coach windows, doors, interior panels, equipment frames, luggage frames, and lightweight structural assemblies.

Heat sinks, server-rack members, enclosures, LED channels, and equipment housings designed around thermal and assembly needs.
Drawing-led RFQ
Send the cross-section, application, quantity, finish and critical requirements for a manufacturability review. Unknown alloy or temper is acceptable.
Industrial OEM context
Industrial aluminium extrusion requirements are evaluated from the assembly, loads, interfaces, fabrication sequence, finish, and recurring demand.
Aluminium profiles for machinery may be described as machine-frame profiles, automation profiles, conveyor sections, equipment profiles, or machine-guard profiles. Provide the interface drawing and loading context for an accurate review.
Industrial enclosures, structural framing, housings, tracks, rails, and extruded machine components often combine profile geometry with cutting or machining requirements. Omalco confirms the feasible supply condition for each enquiry.
