Aluwedo is comprised of two pre-painted sheets of aluminum with a solid polyethylene core
These create a durable printing surface for lasting outdoor signs and a variety of other applications

Fabrications:
Sawing:- with vertical panel saw, circular, compass or first saw
Drilling holes for joining:- with drill bits for aluminum sheet and plastic panels (for larger holes use a drill bit with locating point)
Routing:- with conventional routing equipment, to avoid pressure marks, please use plastic or wood vice jaws when chucking the work places
Shearing:- with a guillotine (check correct insertion of top cover sheet)
Blanking tools to be padded
Bending:- with folding table min
Inside bending radius r= 15*T (T=panel thickness) spring-beck effect higher than with solid sheet
Screwing:- with conventional stainless wooden, sheet metal and metal screws
For outdoor use, please take panel expansion into account
Folding (routing technique):- manually after routing V-groove on reverse side using panel saw with milling attachment or a hand milling cutter
Edges:- using file with rasp-like cut to file roughly cut contours lengthwise
Punching:- with steel band tool on punching base for panels of 2 and 3 mm in thickness
Pressing:- with brake press min. inside radius R = 15*T (T=panel thickness) spring-back effect higher than with solid sheet
Riveting:- with the usual equipment, using rivets or blind rivets
For outside use, pay attention to the panel expansion
