Advantages of extruded aluminum t slot framing
 
Whether you are assembling a large production line, installing automation equipment, or setting up a workbench for the production line, you may need a metal frame to install robot parts, dispensers, or other automatic assembly equipment. Many factory owners choose the traditional welded steel structure to enhance its strength and durability. However, aluminum extruded frames are becoming more and more popular for several reasons.
 
 
Chalco's extruded aluminum t slot framing is a modular solution consisting of aluminum extrusion profiles and unique T-slot design, as well as a series of special connectors and fasteners, allowing designers or buyers to adjust the structural frame according to their own needs.

1. Wide application range:
Unique decoration, sound insulation, heat preservation, good regeneration, extruded aluminum t slot framing is widely used in the construction field, with the advantages of extrusion molding, good mechanical and physical properties, good thermal conductivity, high specific strength; suitable for rack, bracket, door, industrial automation equipment, factory and office workbench, shelf, container, ladder, etc.
2. Easy to assemble and install:
Modular and multi-functional, without complex design and processing, can quickly build the ideal mechanical equipment cover.
Some people say that steel is cheaper than aluminum in the same unit. But a hidden cost labor force should not be ignored, especially for intensive setting. In the assembly process, you need to hire a professional assembler to put the parts in place, and even you have to hire technical workers (and / or processing facilities) to cut and weld materials, which is more impossible to complete in a short time.



3. Adapt to changes and attractive appearance
The extruded aluminum t slot framing determines the incomparable adaptive performance of T-groove aluminum extrusion frame, and the frame system is more flexible than steel. Parts or parts can be interrupted and disconnected and then reassembled as needed. In addition, the aluminum extruded frame structure can be vernier adjusted to move the connector or fastener a few millimeters here or there for proper installation.
 
Instead, the steel must be planned as a welded structure before installation, even though each measurement and bolt must be accurately determined in advance. It is difficult to change the position of these steels when they are permanently welded together and drilled into precise holes. Therefore, once the equipment or process changes on the road, the steel structure may not be able to adapt accordingly.
 
Compared with the steel structure, extruded aluminum t slot framing does not need to be painted, and the steel structure must be coated with protective coating to help slow down the inevitable process. Anodized aluminum extrusions have beautiful appearance and good corrosion resistance.
 
4. Easy to maintain
Due to the modularity of extruded aluminum t slot framing, when the structure is damaged in the production process, the parts can be updated easily and quickly. However, if you change to another material and take the steel structure, first you have to stop production to repair it. You can imagine the maintenance process: reduce damaged parts and replace them with new ones; the machine must stop working during the whole maintenance process.
