Understanding T-Slot aluminum Extrusions
With T-Slot extrusions, a customized T-shaped track is created within the extruded aluminum. This allows individual pieces to interlock securely, without any need to weld or attach. Once the individual pieces are in place, fasteners are used to keep everything together. T-Slot extrusions are designed to be modular – the aluminum profiles are easily interchangeable. And with various accessories (like angle connectors), there is great flexibility when assembling or constructing.
Some of the Specific Industrial Applications
At Offshore Direct Metals, we recommend choosing different aluminum extrusion profiles depending on the application. For example, an animal cage, sign frame, or partition screen would require lighter durability. Similarly, if an application requires a strong and rigid frame, a heavy-duty T-Slot profile would be necessary. The applications are far-reaching – from car bodies to elevator shafts to conveyor systems to robot frames to assembly lines – all are fabricated with custom extrusions.
The Benefits of a T-Slot Aluminum Extrusion
The big benefit of T-Slot profiles is flexibility. Everything is modular, so configurations can be added, removed, or re-positioned. Flexibility is the main advantage over welded steel. Because a certain configuration can be easily changed, components are reusable, and cost savings are realized. Here again, the overall capital cost is more attractive than welded steel. Custom T-Slot aluminum extrusions are extremely strong and capable of handling heavy loads. This is particularly relevant in applications where stability, rigidity, and durability are required. Precision is essential with T-Slot profiles because a tight and secure fit is critical. More than that, the final assembly of components is simple and easy since individual pieces aren’t complicated.
Out of all the metal fabrication options, aluminum is aesthetically appealing and looks good in any application. And with a range of finishing options, aesthetics can be even more enhanced.
