Question 1

Can I have profiles made to my machine-frame drawing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You supply a DWG, DXF, STEP/STP or PDF with critical dimensions; we review the cross-section for extrudability and confirm alloy, temper and tolerances per quotation.

Question 2

What is the minimum order quantity for a machine-building profile?

Accepted Answer

For custom extrusions the starting reference is typically from 500 kg per profile; larger or production-dependent profiles may require more. Smaller quantities are possible only for genuinely standard catalogue items, subject to quotation confirmation.

Question 3

Do you deliver CNC machining and finishing in one go?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Profiles can be delivered sawn, drilled, milled and tapped, with powder coating or anodising in the same delivery — produced by certificate holder Ersaş Aluminium.

Question 4

Which alloy suits a machine frame?

Accepted Answer

6063 as the all-rounder, 6005A/6082 where more strength or stiffness is needed, 6060 for complex or thin-walled sections. The choice is confirmed against your drawing and load case, without structural guarantee.

Question 5

What are the lead times?

Accepted Answer

Lead times are project-based and confirmed per quotation. We deliberately publish no fixed figures because they differ per profile, machining scope and finish.

Question 6

How do import and invoicing work?

Accepted Answer

GBS ALU arranges EU import, the CBAM declaration and Benelux logistics. You receive a single Dutch/EU invoice and do not have to settle with a foreign supplier.

Question 7

Which RAL colours are available?

Accepted Answer

A broad range of standard RAL colours is possible; colour availability, technical suitability and minimum batch are confirmed per quotation.
