T-SLOTTED EXTRUSIONS & QUICK FRAME (219) 248-8030 Fax 248-8029 www.8020.net T-Slotted Extrusions and Quick Frame 33 1 Introduction to Section 1: T-slotted Extrusions and Quick Frame. T-slots give you the freedom to make just about any industrial-strength structure. From aquariums to photo booths to machine stands, T-slotted profiles make up the frame of all of these structures. And, if cut to specification by FrameXpert, the only tool you will ever need to assemble the frame is a simple screwdriver.

  • 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.
