There are many reasons to use T-slot aluminum framing, but these are the main reasons: strength, durability and versatility.

Parker modular t-slot aluminum profile system, also known as IPS, has conquered the world of machine building, industrial automation, material handling, machine safety guarding, and enclosures. This innovative construction system offers so much flexibility and cost savings in engineering, fabrication, and assembly, that it is now preferred for.

ALUMINUM T-SLOTS & T-SLOT ALUMINUM EXTRUSIONS. Eagle Mouldings manufactures and supplies aluminum T slot, T slot hardware and Tslot systems. The Tslot erector sets are available in numerous widths and lengths. They come in a standard satin or clear anodized finish. Our aluminum T slot is attractive, durable, and easy to install.
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.
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.
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.
