Aluminum forgings for awning technology: precision that lasts
When it comes to awning systems in private, commercial or public spaces, architects, manufacturers and end customers expect one thing above all: reliable function. Joints must work smoothly, components must withstand high wind loads and every connection must remain stable in the long term - even under constant UV radiation, changing temperatures and mechanical loads.
KAISER Aluminium-Umformtechnik supports leading manufacturers and system developers in meeting these requirements - with precisely manufactured aluminum forgings that are developed and produced on the basis of individual customer drawings and 3D models. Whether a single piece or a series solution: the design is always project-specific.
Aluminum for the highest demands in the outdoor area
Aluminum is popular in awning technology not only because of its low weight and corrosion resistance. Rather, it offers the ideal balance between structural safety, durability and processing flexibility - a decisive advantage over steel or plastic.
But the real gain in quality comes from drop forging:
In this process, the material is brought into a precise shape under high pressure - with a directed fiber structure, high dimensional accuracy and significantly increased material strength. The result: components with outstanding fatigue strength that still function precisely even after thousands of movement cycles.
Our core components for awning technology
As a supplier to leading manufacturers of awning technology, KAISER provides support with components that are consistently manufactured according to customer drawings or developed together with the OEM. Forged parts are particularly frequently requested for the following functional areas:
1. articulated arms - mobility with durability
The folding arms are among the most complex mechanical units within an awning. Our forged aluminum parts offer maximum load-bearing capacity, minimum weight and permanently reliable function - without play or wear.
2. connecting the awning to the frame
This connection must not only be stable, but also function without vibration and permanently backlash-free. KAISER manufactures precise connecting parts based on individual drawings - including adaptation to existing geometries or system specifications.
3. lower connection of the cross brace
The lower cross strut plays a load-bearing role in the system. Our components meet high torsional and compressive strength requirements here - individually designed for the intended use.
4. wall mounting of the awning
Every Newton meter counts here: Our wall fastening elements are designed for extreme loads, remain dimensionally stable even with temperature fluctuations and enable permanent, secure installation on concrete, brick or insulating materials.
Development and series production from a single source
From the first component drawing to the ready-to-install series component, KAISER supports its customers with engineering expertise and high quality standards. Our services in the field of awning technology include
- Design & co-engineering of individual forged parts
- Drop forging with controlled fiber flow
- Dimensional accuracy even after CNC finishing
- Surface finishing (e.g. anodizing, powder coating)
- Series production & quality documentation on request
We guarantee consistent reproducibility and tight tolerances - even for large quantities.
Conclusion: technology that is at home outdoors
Awning components are an integral part of sophisticated architectural and façade systems. KAISER Aluminium-Umformtechnik does not manufacture standard products, but develops and produces exclusively to customer drawings or jointly as part of a development project.
This results in durable, low-maintenance and mechanically resilient components - precisely matched to the system, application and vertical range of manufacture.
Where precision is required, KAISER delivers it - forging by forging.
