The Profile System

There are 3 basic profile families available to use with key dimensions of 20, 30 and 40mm.

 The series of profile to use depends on the size of the frame, the environment and any cladding material you might want to use. Talk to us, we can advise you on the right series to use.

 All 3 profile series can be used to make cost effective machines and automation enclosures.

 New profiles have also been recently introduced without external slots to 1 or 2 sides, giving a clean finish for areas where appearance is essential or slots are not required to be visible. 

If you use aluminium profiles (Or even if you don't) to build automated machines, guards, jigs, fixtures or if you are thinking of adopting a profile system, why not give us an opportunity to quote you for your next project, a previous project, whatever it is and see how much you could save?

Valuframe Machine Building Systems

 Here you can see a key benefit of using the Valuframe Aluminium Extrusions and Profiles range. 

 This machine has profiles as the main construction medium, but because the profile system is so flexible, the machine can be adapetd and developed as the build progresses.

 Making changes to a frame later in the life of the machine is simple, profiles can be added or adapted easily as there are no welds. Connecting of other machine elements such as pneumatics, hydraulics and motors is simple at there is no custom drilling or tapping, just move the profiles and slot nuts and tighten up!

 The external slots of the Valuframe Aluminium Extrusions and Profiles range can be filled with plastic strips to prevent dirt ingress or hide wiring.

 New profiles have also been recently introduced without external slots to 1 or 2 sides, giving a clean finish for areas where appearance is essential or slots are not required to be visible. 

 Adaptable and easy to use

 We can build frames for you at very competitive labour rates, but we are more than happy to help you build your own frames.

Profiles can be supplied cut to length and there are...

No compromise on quality or strength 

 If the right choice of profile size and orientation is made at the design stage, aluminium profiles are robust and strong enough to do the job and remember....

• No welding required
• No dressing of welds needed
• No painting or priming
• Aluminium will not rust
• Profiles can be re-used as required
• Easy to adapt and add new elements to machinery
• Modern clean appearance
• Fast design and assembly with low skill levels

Simple design principle 

 Profiles can also be used as rigid structural elements. Here, a profile frame is used to enclose a large machine. The frame has hinged and sliding doors for access, protected by safety interlocks.

The panel material is held in the profile slots with plastic strips and cannot be removed without disassembling the frame.

Panels can also be removeable if required.
