Advancements in Aluminum Extrusion Tolerances

June 20, 2026 1 min read Industry Insights

Valco is specialized in manufacturing extrusions in closed tolerances, and this is the result of a lot of experiments and hard work that the Valco team has put in over many years through innovation and experimentation.

Die Design

Valco uses unique methods of die manufacturing, with a special type of steel for the dies which — though very expensive — gives longer die life and holds dimension far better over a run.

Controlled Stretching

Designing of profiles is done to shrink tolerances so that dimensions come out accurate after stretching, rather than needing correction downstream.

Nitriding after 1000 Kgs

A state of the art nitriding process, applied on a strict schedule, keeps the tolerances intact across the life of the die.

Monitoring Die Life

We deliberately keep die life at a lower level than the industry norm. It costs more, and it is the reason we can promise absolute precision in closed tolerances.
