## Diseos de Portones de Metal – Aluminum Gate Manufacturing in China

### Production Process for Aluminum Sliding Gates

The standard production sequence for an aluminum sliding gate includes six steps with measured tolerances. Each step has an inspection point against the parameters listed below.

Step Operation Parameter / Tolerance
1 Profile extrusion (6063-T5 / 6063-T6) Wall thickness 1.4-2.0 mm; cross-section tolerance +/-0.15 mm
2 CNC cutting Length tolerance +/-0.5 mm; angle tolerance +/-0.5 degrees
3 Punching and drilling Hole position tolerance +/-0.3 mm
4 Welding (MIG, 5356 filler) Weld bead height <=1.5 mm; penetration >=2.0 mm
5 Surface treatment Powder coat 60-80 microm; fluorocarbon (PVDF) 40-60 microm; anodizing 10-15 microm
6 Assembly and track fitment Gap between gate and track <=3 mm; vertical deflection <= L/500

Alloy 6063-T5 is used for infill louvers and frame profiles; 6063-T6 is used for track sections and load-bearing uprights where higher yield strength (>=215 MPa) is required. For coastal projects, an optional chromium-free conversion coating (thickness 0.6-1.2 microm) is applied before powder coating to improve salt-spray resistance.

### Aluminum Alloy Grades and Wall Thickness

Gate profiles are extruded from 6000-series aluminum. The table below lists the grades stocked for metal gate production in China.

Alloy Temper Yield Strength Typical Use
6063 T5 >=145 MPa Vertical louvers, decorative infill
6063 T6 >=215 MPa Bottom track, upright posts
6005 T5 >=215 MPa Long-span beams (>5 m)
6061 T6 >=240 MPa Heavy-duty gates (>800 kg)

Main frame wall thickness is 1.8 mm for gates <=4 m wide and 2.0 mm for gates 4-8 m wide. Infill louver wall thickness is 1.2 mm for fixed panels and 1.4 mm for motorized gates subject to vibration. ## Sliding Gate Specs - Track, Motor, and Panel Configurations ### Sliding Gate Track Systems and Load Capacity A bottom-track cantilever sliding gate uses a steel track (typically 3.0-4.0 mm wall, ASTM A36 or equivalent) anchored to a concrete foundation. The cantilever configuration removes the need for a floor groove across the driveway opening.

Gate Leaf Length (m) Track Section (mm) Roller Load Rating (kg) Deflection Limit
3.0 70 x 70 x 3.0 4 x 500 L/500
4.5 100 x 100 x 3.5 4 x 800 L/500
6.0 120 x 120 x 4.0 6 x 800 L/600
8.0 150 x 150 x 4.5 8 x 1000 L/700

Top guide rollers (nylon PA66 or POM) pair with the bottom track to keep the leaf plumb. Roller spacing on the bottom track is 800-1000 mm for gates <=4 m and 600-800 mm for gates >4 m.

### Motor and Automation Options

Italian and Chinese motor options are offered. Motors are matched to leaf weight and duty cycle.

Motor Brand Model Power (W) Max Leaf Weight (kg) Max Opening (m) Speed (m/min)
FAAC 844 ER 350 800 6.0 12
BFT Aria 336 280 600 4.5 9
GSN GS-A15 250 500 4.0 9
Superdurch SD-800 400 1000 8.0 14

All automated gates include a remote control (433.92 MHz, rolling code), magnetic limit switches, infrared photocell safety sensors, and a manual release key. Optional 24 V DC backup battery supports 30 cycles during a 24-hour power outage.

## Driveway Gate Pricing and Material Comparison

### Price Table by Material and Finish

The price ranges below are ex-works USD per running meter (leaf only, excluding motor and foundation works). Prices are valid for MOQ 10 sets and reflect standard specifications.

Configuration Material Surface Opening Width (m) USD/m (FOB)
Vertical louver, manual 6063-T5, 1.4 mm Powder coat 3.0-4.0 380-520
Vertical louver, motorized 6063-T5/T6, 1.8 mm Powder coat 4.0-6.0 580-820
Horizontal louver, motorized 6063-T6, 2.0 mm PVDF fluorocarbon 5.0-6.0 720-1050
Solid panel infill, motorized 6063-T6, 2.0 mm Wood-grain transfer 4.0-6.0 680-980
Frameless glass infill, motorized 6063-T6 + 8+8A8 laminated PVDF fluorocarbon 4.0-5.0 1100-1800

The motorized configurations above include motor, track, roller set, remote, photocell, and limit switches. Foundation reinforcement (cage rebar, anchor bolts, and 200 mm concrete pad) is supplied as a kit for the site contractor.

### Cost Breakdown by Project Size

Project cost varies with order size. A 10-set order and a 100-set order for the same 4.5 m motorized louvered gate show a 22% price difference.

Order Size Unit Price (USD) Tooling Amortization Surface Setup Total per Set
10 sets 820 80 30 930
50 sets 760 16 6 782
100 sets 720 8 3 731

Surface setup covers powder-coat color change and PVDF booth cleaning. Tooling amortization covers extrusion die cost (USD 1,200-1,800 per cross-section) spread across the order quantity.

## Modern Sliding Gate Designs for Homes – Configurations and Clearances

### Standard Dimensions and Opening Clearances

Residential projects in China typically specify gates with a 3.5-5.0 m clear opening to accommodate one or two vehicle lanes. The tail (counterweight extension) is 40-50% of the opening width.

Opening Width (m) Leaf Length incl. Tail (m) Tail Length (m) Side Clearance (mm)
3.5 5.3 1.8 200
4.0 6.0 2.0 200
5.0 7.5 2.5 250
6.0 9.0 3.0 300

Concrete foundation dimensions for the track are 600 x 600 x 800 mm (deep), with 4 x M16 anchor bolts. For cantilever gates, the foundation is on the closed side of the opening only.
