Advantages of mk Extruded Aluminum Framing & T-Slot Aluminum Extrusions
Imagine there being infinite design potential. This is true when building with T Slot aluminum. The profiles use modular design principles. This means that they can be removed, adjusted or repositioned using component technology. T-nuts are the core of all components. Alternative connection components will handle most other forms of connections. Framing profiles for T-slot structural framing systems are straight sections of extruded aluminum used to create custom building projects. These bars have recessed T-slots that accept hardware for creating joints or mounting components like hinges, connectors, and support plates.
With mk Aluminum Framing and t-slot aluminum extrusions you can build just about anything you can imagine, whether it be machine bases, safety enclosures, perimeter guards, tool racks, robot stands, carts, workstations, display units or something else.
- Flexibility
- Fast assembly
- Easy reconfiguration
- Cost and labor savings
- Superior fit and finish
- Easy-to-use system components
- Designed for high load applications
- High strength to weight ratio
- Corrosion resistance
- Re-usability of components
All t-slot extruded aluminum systems are engineered for a precise fit and maximum rigidity. Forget the hassles and inflexibility of steel – the welding, grinding, painting and waiting. mk t-slot aluminum extrusions offer you fast assembly, easy reconfiguration and unlimited flexibility.
