The base material is 6063-T6 aluminum alloy, chosen for its optimal balance of extrudability, corrosion resistance, and structural rigidity. Mechanical properties are strictly maintained with a minimum tensile strength of 190 MPa and yield strength above 160 MPa, verified via batch-wise tensile testing in accordance with ASTM B557. For higher structural loads or larger span assemblies, 6061-T6 variants are also available, offering tensile strength upwards of 260 MPa. The extrusions are solution heat-treated and artificially aged post-extrusion to ensure metallurgical consistency and dimensional stability under cyclic thermal and mechanical stresses.
The three-track configuration is designed with independent panel guidance, incorporating tolerance-compensating ribs and anti-rattle interfaces. Track depth, width, and inter-track spacing are standardized to accommodate sliding panels with varying roller base widths and inset depths. Integrated drainage chambers and capillary water diversion routes are machined directly into the base track area to eliminate water pooling and hydrostatic backflow, especially in threshold-level installations. Track lips are chamfered to reduce rolling friction and wear on synthetic and metallic roller interfaces.
Surface finishing is offered via anodization (10–20 microns, AA10/AA20 class) or architectural-grade polyester powder coating (minimum 60 microns DFT), compliant with AAMA 2603/2604 specifications. For high-salinity or acidic industrial atmospheres, additional pre-treatment using chromate conversion or acid etch is applied before coating. Accelerated corrosion testing, including salt spray (ASTM B117, 1000+ hours) and humidity exposure, confirms resistance to pitting, film degradation, and substrate attack. Coating uniformity is verified using magnetic film thickness gauges, and adhesion is tested via crosshatch and impact tests.

The extrusion includes dedicated cavities for gasket placement and EPDM-based seal retention. These channels are precision-cut with serrated flanks to mechanically anchor the seal, maintaining compression set and recovery over extended usage. Profile geometry accommodates co-extruded dual-durometer seals for enhanced air and water barrier performance.
The 3-track assembly is engineered to maintain a maximum allowable mid-span deflection of L/175 under design wind loads, adhering to international façade engineering norms (EN 1999-1-1 / Eurocode 9). Reinforcement zones are embedded into the profile cross-section for localized load bearing—useful in installations with large panel weights or automation mechanisms.

The extrusion features precision-engineered drainage channels with a minimum cross-sectional area of 2 mm² per track. These channels direct water flow away from the frame base, preventing water pooling or hydrostatic pressure buildup. The channels are aligned with gravity flow paths, ensuring water is effectively diverted to external drainage points, minimizing corrosion risk and improving weather resistance.
Thermal expansion is controlled through careful alloy selection (6063-T6) and profile design. The aluminum’s coefficient of thermal expansion is approximately 23.6 µm/m·°C, which is factored into the track design by incorporating expansion joints at every 3-meter interval. These joints allow for dimensional growth or contraction without affecting door operation or frame alignment, ensuring smooth panel movement.
The 3-track frame uses mechanically reinforced corner joints with a 90-degree locking mechanism. Each joint is precision-cut and interlocks with a 5 mm overlap, which is then secured with a series of stainless steel inserts and high-strength adhesive bonding. This method ensures consistent load distribution across the frame, preventing joint failure under lateral or torsional stress.
Surface finishes are controlled by multi-step anodizing or powder coating processes. Anodizing depth is maintained within the range of 10 to 15 microns, providing uniform oxide layers that enhance corrosion resistance. Additionally, pre-anodizing treatments such as chromate conversion are applied to ensure a uniform bond between the substrate and the finish. These treatments are validated through ASTM B117 salt spray testing for durability.
The track profile design includes variable cross-sectional thicknesses at load-bearing points, with thicker sections (up to 4.5 mm) near the roller channels. The 3-track system supports sliding panels up to 150 kg per panel by distributing the load across multiple bearing surfaces and reducing the risk of deflection. FEA simulations are used during the design phase to optimize track thickness for specific weight and load conditions.
