T-Slotted Aluminum Extrusion. Our T-Slotted Aluminum Extrusion Lines utilize corrosion resistant 6063-T6 Aluminum Alloy with a clear anodize finish. Not only do our T-Slotted Aluminum. We created TSLOTS in Clearfield, Utah so you can create structures faster and easier than welded steel allows. When using our custom T-slotted aluminum extrusions, you simply insert a T-nut and fastener into the extrusion.

Automation 4 Less is pleased to stock the TSLOTS brand extruded aluminum framing system. These incredibly versatile components (which are compatible with 80/20, IPS, Item, Parker and similar systems) can be used to construct virtually anything you require...or could imagine! We now feature the 'B' series TSLOTS line which is compatible with Bosch.

Easy and fast to assemble with standard tools and simple fasteners (eliminates welding). Allows you to adjust and change configurations. Clean, pleasing look. No painting required. Empowers you with great design flexibility.

Extruded Aluminum Channel Track

T-slot structural framing is a framing system consisting of lengths of square or rectangular extruded aluminum, typically 6105-T5 aluminium alloy, with a T-slot down the centerline of one or more sides. It is also known as 80/20 framing, after the company 80/20, Inc., one of the prominent T-slot framing brands, the name of which is based on the 80/20 principle. While there is no published standard defining this framing system, manufacturers have settled into two categories of product comprising several series each that is generally intercompatible across manufacturers.

Profiles[edit]

T-slot framing is divided into metric and fractional (imperial) categories. The T-slot is always centered along the long-axis of the piece. Pieces are available in each series with a square cross-section. Rectangular cross sections are available as well which measure x by 2x (where x is the defined width) - e.g. 40mx80mm for 40 series.
