Precision Aluminium Loom Beam Sections for Global Textile OEMs
At HAQ Aluminium, we manufacture heavy-duty, high-precision aluminium loom beam sections engineered to combine lightweight handling with maximum rotational rigidity. Designed specifically for modern textile machinery, rapier looms, air-jet looms, and heavy industrial weaving equipment, our profiles outperform conventional steel beams in rotational balance, power efficiency, and long-term durability.
Leveraging over five decades of metallurgical expertise since 1972, HAQ Aluminium extrudes 6061-T6 and 6063-T6 alloys with strict wall-thickness uniformity and dimensional tolerances up to ±0.1mm. This eliminates dynamic vibration during high-RPM operations, extending the operational lifespan of loom drives and warp yarn tension control units.
- Superior Strength-to-Weight Ratio (65% lighter than steel)
- High Precision Tolerances (±0.1mm) for smooth rotation
- Anodised Surface Finish (15-25µm) resists yarn wear
- Custom Tooling & Rapid Die Prototyping (7-10 Days)

Quality & Technical Parameters
Rigorous Specifications for Overseas Procurement
Overseas textile machinery manufacturers and spinning mills require verifiable material properties to maintain operational safety at high speeds. Every batch of HAQ aluminium loom beam extrusions is tested in-house for tensile strength, hardness, and straightness before dispatch.
Mill Test Reports (MTR) detailing chemical composition and Webster hardness values are included with every container shipment.

Buyer FAQ
Frequently Asked Technical Questions
Aluminium loom beams weigh approximately 65% less than steel, significantly reducing motor startup loads, rotational inertia, and electricity costs during continuous high-speed loom operation. Additionally, aluminium eliminates rust contamination on yarn and offers superior dynamic balance.
We primarily recommend 6061-T6 for high-tension warp yarns and fast-operating rapier or air-jet looms due to its high yield strength and excellent fatigue resistance. 6063-T6 is also widely used for standard weaving loads requiring smooth surface finishes.
Yes. Our in-house die design team produces custom H13 extrusion tooling directly from your CAD files (DWG, STEP, DXF). New dies are manufactured in 7-10 days, with first-article inspection samples submitted for buyer approval prior to mass extrusion.
Hard anodising (15-25 microns) is highly recommended. It creates an extremely durable aluminium oxide outer layer that resists continuous yarn friction, protects against humidity in textile mills, and prevents thread snagging.
