At Alexandria Extrusion Company, we know quality products are the result of quality processes. We insist on using form fitting die stacks for all extrusion products, and rely on our in-house tooling department to create customer-specific tooling solutions.
Featuring a die plate, backer and bolster for solid dies and a mandrel, cap and bolster for hollow dies, our custom die stacks provide unmatched strength and stability while also ensuring consistent quality over the life of the die.
The resulting improvements in yield and productivity as well as an extended die life translate into increased customer satisfaction.
Our in-house tooling department, which has developed several patented tooling concepts, is another key process in place at AEC to ensure consistent quality.
Working off Solidworks, our 14 tool and die makers are able to create the tooling needed to produce your product, from simple tooling for small run products to complex tooling schemes that result in automated dedicated machining cells for larger volume products. Our toolmakers will take your project from design through part run off, thus reducing leadtime and improving results.
Dedication to quality processes also includes the inspection process, as custom inspection equipment can be manufactured in-house, providing an inspection correlation with the customer that is exact. We are committed for the life of your project to review the tooling concept used with continuous improvement in mind.
