Aluminum sheet slitting machine at an NKS factory

 

Aluminum, being a lightweight metal, is widely used for a variety of purposes across a number of different industries. Precision slit aluminum coils are used in many manufacturing sectors such as, automotive, computer hardware, airplane parts, window frames, signage, and much more. At National Kwikmetal Service (NKS), we have a massive inventory with several different grades, thicknesses, finishes, and tempers of aluminum. We source these from all over the world to provide you, our valued customers, with best-in-market aluminum blanks and coils.

Aluminum Slitting Lines at NKS

Experts at NKS understand that aluminum slitting is different than slitting stainless steel, simply based on the density and the overall softness of aluminum. So several considerations are kept in mind throughout the process. These may include the break to shear ratio, clearances and cleanliness of the knives. Being able to adequately meet these variables on a daily basis while under the pressure of a production schedule is what sets NKS apart from the competition. Since we are committed to quality assurances, we make sure that the level of competence is exhibited in the final product. Our capabilities include prototyping, low and high-volume production, and short and long-run production across North America.

At NKS, our nonferrous service centers provide the following grades of aluminum: 1XXX, 3XXX, 5XXX and 8XXX, both Annealed and Tempered.
