T Slot Framing
Strut Channel 80/20 Fasteners Bolt to Profile End or T Slot. Strut Channel 80/20 Fasteners are 10 and 15 series compatible for framing. Available styles include Butt Fastener, Cap Sc. Using aluminum t-slot and one of our many fasteners or connectors, you can arrange your aluminum extrusions in numerous ways to create structures – from OSHA and ANSI approved machine safety guarding, workstations, desk modules, climate control enclosures, material handling racks to laser enclosures.
Why Use T slot Framing?
There are many reasons to use T-slot aluminum framing, but these are the main reasons: strength, durability and versatility.
Framing Strength
Stronger Than You Think
A common misconception is that aluminum will not meet structural strength standards. In fact, extruded aluminum possesses a superior strength-to-weight ratio than steel. It is strong enough to handle most structural design applications. Overall, the light-weight structure and structural strength offer to great benefits. It's a cost-effective and easy to use t-slotted framing option.
Structural Durability

Long-lasting Framing
T Slot aluminum is tough enough for most structural framing applications. Unlike steel, aluminum is rust resistant. The anodized coating on extruded aluminum is a natural coating that prevents rust. Without the worry of rust, there is no need to prime or paint the framing.
Versatile Design

Build Anything
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.
T Slot Framing Rails
The aluminum structural framing line from Bosch Rexroth is our material of choice. We’ve made most of our own shop from this framing and have trusted it for thousands of projects over the years. Rather than offering hundreds of different product lines and service offerings, we focus our attention on being the framing specialist in the upper midwest.
Structural aluminum framing is a building kit. It’s easy to put together, easy to reconfigure, and easy to take apart. The first thing to do is select the profile for your project, then determine the appropriate connection method. Our “drop-in” t-nuts and t-bolts are popular because they are easy to use: drop them in the slot, then give them a twist. The t-bolts turn and lock as you rotate the screw (much easier than having to preload nuts into the ends of the profiles or smear the connections full of adhesive!).
