Aluminum Cases - New World Case, Inc.

Aluminum cases are fabricated from sheets of metal that have been fastened together onto a metal frame. Because of the pressure from use, many aluminum cases have reinforced corners that also help protect the case from wear and tear. Manufacturing sheet metal begins with raw materials that are heated together until uniform. The metal is formed into large rough shapes and, once cool, the smelted aluminum goes through a series of rollers that reduce the thickness of the aluminum.

Other processes such as cutting, perforating, spinning, press brake forming, stamping, bending, ironing or wheeling may also be performed, depending on the requirements of the customer. The sheets are then fastened onto a frame of extruded aluminum bars or pipes. Extrusion is a process where a solid bar or rod of aluminum is forced through a die that removes the negative space to create a certain cross section. The parts may also be welded together.

A finish is applied, if desired. Other additional features may include heavy duty swivel casters, twist latches, spring loaded handles, rubber gaskets around the doors for water resistance, recessed latches to meet military standards, lugs for secure stacking, shock mounts, enhanced and fortified aluminum framing, buckles, straps, tracks for easy stacking or many other options.
