T-Slot Aluminum Extrusion Framing – Heitek Automation 80/20 T-slot aluminum extrusion framing enables you to design, configure and reconfigure unique custom framing and guarding solutions. 80/20 T-slot aluminum extrusion framing enables you to design, configure and reconfigure unique custom framing and guarding solutions. Cutting 80/20 aluminum t-slot extrusions can be dangerous, so here are 5 safety precautions you should take: Use eye protection as cutting 80/20 aluminum t-slot extrusions generates a fair amount of hot flying metal chips. A face shield is better. Cutting aluminum can be loud so hearing protection is also highly recommended.

80 20 Aluminum T Slot Framing Extrusions
80/20’s modularity is based upon the T-slot concept of our profiles. The 'T' shaped slots present on all of our profiles allow for infinite positioning along the axis. While there are other types of T-slotted profiles in the industry, one modification to the 80/20 line is a slight adjustment to the ' T' which creates the 2° Drop-Lock Feature. When a fastener is tightened to (or beyond) the necessary torque, the flange will flex up to the adjoining profile, thus creating pressure which prevents the fasteners from vibrating loose.
