Aluminum alloy profiles are widely used in assembly line conveyors due to their lightweight, high strength, and corrosion resistance. These profiles come in various shapes and sizes, such as square, rectangular, and T-shaped, offering flexibility in design. They are easy to machine and assemble, reducing production time and costs. With a smooth surface and uniform color, they also enhance the aesthetic appeal of the equipment. Common specifications include 20×20 mm, 40×40 mm, and 50×50 mm square tubes, as well as 20×40 mm and 30×60 mm rectangular tubes. These profiles provide a durable and efficient solution for modern industrial assembly lines.

Characteristics of Aluminum Alloy Profiles

• Lightweight and High Strength: Aluminum alloy has a low density, only about 1/3 that of steel, but its strength can reach or even exceed that of ordinary steel.
• Good Corrosion Resistance: The surface of aluminum alloy easily forms a dense oxide film, which can effectively prevent further oxidation and corrosion.
• Good Machinability: Aluminum alloy profiles are easy to machine using cutting, drilling, milling, and other mechanical processes, and they can achieve high machining accuracy.
• Weldability and Formability: Aluminum alloy series such as 6061 have good weldability and formability.
• Aesthetic Appearance: Aluminum alloy profiles have a smooth surface and uniform color, making them suitable for applications where the appearance of the equipment is important.

Specifications of Aluminum Alloy Profiles

Aluminum alloy profiles come in a wide range of specifications, which can be categorized based on their cross-sectional shapes and applications:

• Square and Rectangular Tubes: Sizes such as 20×20 mm, 40×40 mm, 50×50 mm for square tubes, and 20×40 mm, 30×60 mm, 50×100 mm for rectangular tubes.
• Round Tubes: Diameters ranging from 10 mm to 200 mm, with wall thicknesses from 1 mm to 10 mm.
• Angle Aluminum: Equal angle aluminum such as 20×20 mm, 40×40 mm; unequal angle aluminum such as 20×40 mm, 30×60 mm.
• Channel Aluminum, I-Beam, T-Profile, H-Profile, U-Profile, Z-Profile: Each has its common specifications, such as channel aluminum in 20×20 mm, 30×30 mm, I-beam in 50×30 mm, 100×50 mm, etc.
• Industrial Aluminum Profile Series: Such as 20 series (2020 profile, 2040 profile), 30 series (3030 profile, 3060 profile), 40 series (4040 profile, 4080 profile), etc.

Applications of Aluminum Alloy Profiles

• Assembly Conveyors: Aluminum alloy profiles are widely used in assembly conveyors for frames, supports, and guide rails due to their lightweight, high strength, corrosion resistance, and ease of machining.
• Other Industrial Fields: They are also used in mechanical equipment frames, electronic device enclosures, heat sinks, etc.

Common Aluminum Profiles for Conveyor Systems

These profiles are chosen based on the specific requirements of the conveyor system, including load capacity, size, and environmental conditions.
