Laser cutting, welding and marking machines lose most of their input power as heat. Here is where extruded aluminium heat sinks do the heavy lifting – and what laser OEMs should specify.
From thermal target to prototype – a step-by-step framework that turns your power and temperature numbers into the right extruded aluminium heat sink.
The modular framing system that lets engineers build machine frames, workstations and safety guards from standard profiles – no welding, no scrap, full reconfigurability.
Copper conducts heat twice as well, yet aluminium wins most heat sink applications. Why thermal designers choose aluminium – and when copper is still worth the price.
T5 and T6 are the two tempers on every extrusion quote. What they actually mean, how they change the metal, and when each one is the right choice for your profile.
AI data centers, battery storage and EV chargers are all going liquid. How extruded aluminium cold plates, manifolds and housings sit at the centre of the shift.
Three ways to make a heat sink, three very different cost and performance profiles. A practical comparison to pick the right manufacturing process for your thermal design.
Dimensions, straightness, surface, hardness, cut quality. The five checks that catch 95% of incoming quality issues – and how to handle disputes when they arise.
IGBT modules, solar inverters and EV chargers all live or die by heat management. Why extruded aluminium heat sinks are the default choice for power electronics cooling.
Every custom profile starts with a die, and the die is your first investment. What actually drives tooling cost, how long a die lasts, and how to budget smartly.
