Machine Frames
It’s crucial that equipment and operations are lean and efficient. Your machine frames can either aid in these initiatives or be a hindrance to them. With 80/20 T-slot aluminum profiles and products the frame becomes a part of your process, helping to create streamlined systems.
80/20 Solutions Provide a Strong, Durable Across Various Industries
80/20 T-slot aluminum framing offers durability and strength comparable to steel, but without the corrosive properties and heavy assembly and maintenance costs. Consider the automotive industry’s switch from heavy steel frames to lightweight and strong aluminum. Aluminum offers a faster, safer, environmentally friendly and cost-effective solution. 80/20's unique two-degree drop-lock feature provides connections that are strong and vibration resistant.

80/20 Adapts to Any Process or Environment
Profile Selection
You have access to the largest stock and variety of products in the industry to meet all of your specifications. 80/20 offers a wide selection of profile series in both the fractional and metric family, with options ranging from as large as 3” x 6”, to as small as 20 x 20mm. We can meet your project needs, no matter the scale.
Add Motion
80/20 linear motion products are easily incorporated, introducing movement and opening up possibilities. All 80/20 bearings have UHMW pads that are self-lubricating, eliminating the need for messy oils and reducing maintenance time and costs. And with an infinite number of connection points, the 80/20 T-slot system delivers unmatched precision and adjustability.
Make It Mobile
Add mobility with casters rated up to 2200 pounds per wheel, or immobilize equipment at a desired location with position floor locks. Choose from leveling feet that are chemical resistant and can reduce and absorb vibration or even add anchors. From top to bottom, 80/20 has the framing components to fit your needs.
80/20 T-slot aluminum profiles have a comparable strength to steel but at about 1/3 the weight!
Built-In Flexibility of T-Slot Profiles
With T-slot profiles and parts you can integrate cables, automation components, computer monitors, and safety devices anywhere along the T-slot frame. Add tools where they can best optimize your operations. What’s more; it’s simple to make adjustments as you need to move, add, fix, or make changes to the parts. Steel options can’t provide this level of flexibility.
Tailored Solutions for Optimal Operations
With an 80/20 machine frame you are no longer confined to prefabricated solutions that often require expensive modifications or cost you valuable floor space. The 80/20 T-slot system enables you to design custom applications that fit your operations, your workforce and your goals. For example, design a frame that includes access for maintenance, built-in storage, or integration points for material handling equipment.
