Machine Frames

Individual Machine Frames - Starting from a Single Unit

We supply machine frames and special constructions starting from a single unit up to large-scale series. The design and dimensioning of our basic frames, made from aluminium profiles, are tailored to the specific process requirements and the level of accuracy needed by the machine in question.

Aluminium profiles and linear units on a machine base frame

Constructions made from aluminium profiles offer a stable and flexible alternative to welded designs, even in heavy-load applications. The profile size is selected based on the loads involved, ensuring that technically sound designs provide a cost-effective solution.

Decisive advantages of our machine frames: they are lightweight yet robust, and so flexible that they can be adapted to changing process conditions at any time.

Individual Components Transformed into Machine Frames in Infinite Variations

Our customer-specific machine frames are based on a comprehensive modular profile technology system. At the core are anodised aluminium profiles in over 100 different sizes and cross-sections, ranging from 20 to 320 mm, all of which are fully compatible with one another.

The construction profiles, featuring grooves on all sides, provide optimal connection points for the machine frame, enabling virtually unlimited application possibilities.

The modular system also includes a wide range of accessories, such as flange strips, angles, and cover caps as well as cover strips for concealing cables and lines along the profile grooves, or gusset plates for additional stability.

Project Process

Machine Frame – From Concept to Completion

Together, we will develop your machine frame. You define the requirements, and we handle the rest: we review your drawing specifications, suggest optimization options, select the appropriate profile sizes based on load requirements, and include the necessary accessories. We then cut the profiles to size and manufacture the machine frame according to the parts list. If desired, we can also design a suitable base frame for you. Want to assemble it yourself? No problem, the cut profiles are easily connected using flange strips, with no drilling required. This approach saves both assembly time and costs.
