Taber Extrusions Micro-Extrusion Capabilities
Our micro-extrusion manufacturing lines have a production envelope with a circle size of 3 inches or less and a weight per foot of .008 up to .5 lbs. ft. For comparison, the 8,600 ton press in Taber’s Russellville facility produces profiles with a minimum weight of 6 lbs. per foot.
Unlike traditional extrusion presses, these micro-extrusion presses are built to allow for the production of extrusions with wall thicknesses of 0.020 inches and tolerance capabilities of +/- 0.001 inches (depending on shape design). These miniature extrusion production centers allow designers and engineers the freedom to engineer profiles that are un-extrudable through conventional presses.
