Aluminium Blanks Made to Measure for Industrial Applications

EMW manufactures aluminium blanks for industrial applications where low weight, dimensional accuracy, flatness and reliable further processing are important. The aluminium blanks are produced directly from coil using a servo-driven blanking press, in a staggered and multi-row arrangement. The current product range includes blanks up to 710 mm in diameter and material thicknesses from 0.50 to 2.5 mm.

What are Aluminium Blanks?

Aluminium blanks are circular cut pieces made from aluminium sheet. They are used as starting components for parts that are subsequently formed, assembled, coated or integrated into further production processes.

An aluminium blank is particularly suitable when a component requires a defined circular shape, low weight and clean further processing. In addition to diameter and material thickness, flatness, surface quality, dimensional accuracy and the appropriate aluminium grade are the key factors.

These specifications form the basis for the technical assessment. Whether aluminium blanks are suitable for your specific component also depends on the alloy, surface finish, quantity, further processing requirements, packaging and delivery schedule.

When are Aluminium Blanks the Right Choice?

Aluminium blanks are suitable for applications where low weight, further processing requirements and a precise circular geometry are essential. Aluminium can be particularly advantageous when components need to be lightweight, easy to form or offer a high-quality appearance.

Aluminium Blanks for Lightweight Components

When weight plays an important role, aluminium blanks can be a suitable solution. This applies, for example, to technical components, housing elements, covers or parts that are processed further in large production volumes.

Flatness and Dimensional Accuracy for Stable Processes

When weight plays an important role, aluminium blanks can be a suitable solution. This applies, for example, to technical components, housing elements, covers or parts that are processed further in large production volumes.

Consider Surface Finish and Further Processing Requirements Early On

For aluminium blanks, the required surface finish should be considered at an early stage of the enquiry. Depending on the application, it may be important whether the blank remains visible, is coated, formed or used as a functional component within an assembly.

Manufacturing Directly from Coil Using a Servo-Driven Blanking Press

EMW manufactures aluminium blanks directly from coil. The material is blanked in a staggered, multi-row arrangement. This production method improves material utilisation and reduces scrap rates.

For industrial series production, this is a significant advantage. High blanking speeds enable large production volumes within a short time, while short set-up times provide flexibility for changing order profiles. This allows circular aluminium blanks to be manufactured economically, consistently and with reliable process control.

Additional Applications for Aluminium Blanks

In addition to the existing application pages, aluminium blanks are also suitable for a wide range of custom applications. Depending on the specification, these may include household appliances, cooking equipment, frying pans, cooking pots, satellite dishes or technical circular components. 

Choosing the Right Aluminium Blank for Your Application

Selecting the right aluminium blank is not only a matter of diameter and material thickness. What matters most is the function the component will ultimately perform and how it will be processed further.

Aluminium Alloy and Component Requirements

The specific aluminium grade should be selected to match the intended application. Important considerations include formability, surface finish, mechanical stress requirements, coatability and the final area of use. If the alloy has not yet been specified, EMW can help narrow down the requirements together with you as part of the enquiry process.

Material Thickness and Diameter

EMW manufactures aluminium blanks with diameters of up to 710 mm and material thicknesses ranging from 0.50 to 2.5 mm. These parameters should always be considered together with the required quantities, further processing requirements and packaging specifications.

Surface Finish, Flatness and Packaging

Particularly with aluminium, the surface finish can play an important role in the quality of the final product. For this reason, requirements relating to visible surfaces, scratch protection, handling or packaging should be specified at an early stage.
