How to properly use aluminium profile corner codes

August 29, 2024

In the process of connecting and fixing aluminium profile, corner codes are a common accessory. Corner codes are primarily used for right-angle connections between two aluminum extrusion profile, which can increase the strength and stability of the structure. However, to fully utilize the function of corner codes, it is crucial to use them correctly.

First, choose the appropriate corner code. Initially, select the suitable corner code based on the size of the aluminium profile and the connection point. The specifications of the corner code should match the profile. Typically, the specifications of the corner code should be the same as those of the aluminium profile. For example, if you are using a 40mm80mm aluminum profile, you should choose a 40mm80mm corner code. Additionally, depending on the required connection strength, you can select corner codes of different thicknesses.

Second, prepare tools and materials. Before starting to install the corner code, you need to prepare some tools and materials, including aluminum profiles, corner codes, bolts, nuts, etc. At the same time, you also need to prepare some lubricants, such as lubricating paste, to facilitate installation and increase service life.

Third, install the corner code. First, place the aluminium profile on the installation platform and determine the position that needs to be connected. Then, place the corner code above the connection position of the profile, ensuring a tight fit between the corner code and the profile. Use bolts and nuts to connect the corner code and the profile together. Before tightening the bolts and nuts, apply some lubricant between the corner code and the profile to reduce friction and make installation easier. Install another corner code with the same method to connect it with another aluminum profile. Finally, check whether the connection is secure. Ensure there is no looseness or gap between the corner code and the profile. A high-quality connection of aluminum profile corner codes is essential for producing high-quality Industrial aluminum profile.

Fourth, it is important to note that when installing the corner code, ensure a tight fit between the corner code and the profile to avoid any looseness or gaps. Tighten the bolts and nuts evenly, avoiding excessive or insufficient force to prevent affecting the connection effect. When using bolts and nuts to connect the corner code, pay attention to using the appropriate length and size to avoid issues with the connection effect due to being too long or too short. Aluminum profile accessories, such as corner codes, serve as key components for connection and reinforcement, playing an increasingly important role in the industrial field. Proper use of corner codes can enhance the safety and stability of aluminum profile structures.
