Healthcare
Extruded aluminum tubing and extruded shapes are widely utilized in the medical device industry, with its uses ranging from biomedical research to your doctor’s office to surgical suites. We produce aluminum tubing and extruded shapes for medical devices such as stethoscopes, surgical trocars, optical light tips for spinal surgery, and electroporation cuvettes used in DNA research.
- We offer complete turnkey fabrication services on all custom extrusions along with a wide variety of coating options.
- Profile Precision Extrusions has worked with a number of medical device manufacturers on manufacturing annealed aluminum tubes that are very malleable. The flexibility that our annealed aluminum tubes offer provides an unparalleled advantage for lighting applications during minimally invasive surgeries over traditional stainless tubes, which cannot be bent.
- We offer complete turnkey fabrication services on all custom extrusions along with a wide variety of coating options.

Industrial
Profile produces custom shapes and extruded tubing for many industrial applications. 6061-T6 alloy is specified in many applications requiring moderate strength, good machinability and good anodize response. 6063-T5 is commonly used in applications requiring very thin walls, highly cosmetic finishes, and typically is a little lower in cost than 6061-T6.
- Linear slides designs allow for very precise movement for motion control and robotic applications
- Telescoping tube designs are used for 2-piece drive shafts and camera tripods
- Signage for offices and commercial office space utilize 6063-T5 for its excellent anodize response and thin walls
- LED light extrusions take advantage of the good thermal conductivity of aluminum to keep the LED’s cool and extend their useful life
- Standard hollow and solid shapes are utilized by machine shops in many industries to fabricate prototypes and small production runs

Outdoor/ Recreation
Profile produces custom hollow bike rim extrusions for the bicycle industry. The extrusions are rolled into hoops to form the wheel rim. Profile has worked very closely with its customers to develop a production process that yields very consistent temper and dimensions along the length of the extrusions. The designs have very thin walls, down to .030” or less, to minimize the wheel weight and improve ride comfort.
Profile produces telescopic tubing for the photography and ham radio market. The tubes are thin walled to reduce weight and have very precise diameters so they can telescope into one another easily. Profile also produces larger hollow telescoping tubes for film & TV camera tripods.

AND Extrusions (Army-Navy Aeronautical Design Standards)
- In the 1940’s the Department of Defense developed a series of structural aluminum extrusion designs. The standardized designs encompass angles, T-shapes, I-beams, and U-channels. The commercial aviation and aerospace industry has adopted the designs. They are regularly produced using 6061-T6511 by Profile.
