Heavy duty aluminum

Heavy-duty aluminum profiles guarantee stable overall constructions and are extremely lightweight. The heavy-duty profiles in the Blocan series from RK Rose+Krieger have high bending and torsional rigidity with a comparatively low dead weight, according to the manufacturer.

For example, the Blocan-D profile in size 160x320 is equivalent to an IPE 360 double T-beam - with smaller dimensions and a weight saving of more than 35 percent. This enables designers to realize large gantry systems and machine frames in lightweight construction, which could previously only be realized with steel constructions. The company has developed special connecting elements for the assembly of its aluminum heavy-duty profiles. These pressure connectors hold the heavy-duty profiles together using pressure and a heavy-duty screw connection that can be released at any time. as
