Pneumatics
Industries such as automotive, robotics and automation depend on pneumatic power every day. The nature of the equipment and repetitive processes require strong, durable solutions that lend themselves to lean solutions in a highly competitive marketplace. T-slot aluminum profiles offer a resilient framing system that provide flexibility to make quick adjustments.
80/20 Solutions Are Adaptable for Lean Initiatives
80/20 T-slot aluminum profiles are durable and built to withstand the repetitive motions inherent in pneumatic systems. Did you know that pneumatic components such as valves and actuators are designed to fit directly into a T-slot profile? You'll find 80/20 products commonly used in load arms for pick and place pneumatic equipment and end-of-arm tooling.
80/20 Helps Automation Industries Build:
• Pick and Place Systems
• End-of-Arm Tooling
• Testing Equipment
• Machine Frames

80/20's T-slot Channel Provides Multiple Benefits
80/20 provides a wide range of products for guarding that limit your risks and costs. The T-slot framing system allows you to mount additional safety components, such as switches, security cameras, or light relays that are easy to reposition, as needed. With alternatives like steel, you won’t have the luxury of making immediate adjustments.
Wire Management
Wires, power supplies, tubes, and cables work with the profile – they can be recessed within the T-slot channel or mounted on the profile surface utilizing wire management components for easy access, improving organization and safety, as well as providing a cleaner-looking application.
Precise Positioning
Instead of modifying your equipment to fit a standardized frame, simply mount components wherever you need directly along the profile. The T-slot channel also allows you to mount and modify these accessories and fixtures along any axis – get the precise angles and placement your processes require.
Pressurized Frames
T-slot channels enable simple maintenance with little downtime and easy replacement of motors, gauges, or vacuum systems that wear over repeated use. 80/20 offers a variety of pressure manifold feed and access plates as well as linear motion bearings and components to augment your pneumatic solution. From an air brake system to a compressed-air engine, use 80/20 for your customized project.
Disney World has an underground pneumatic tube system using compressed air to propel waste at 60 mph to a collection point.
Withstand Harsh Environments
Pneumatic components must withstand the high impact and heavy vibrations of constant use. 80/20 T-slot aluminum profiles stand up to these challenges where other framing options fail. The anodized aluminum is resistant to hydraulic fluids and harsh cleaning chemicals, and provides strength comparable to carbon steel. Learn more about 80/20 in the industrial manufacturing world.
Vast T-slotted Profile Offering
With 80/20 you have access to a wide range of profiles, including both fractional (imperial) and metric options. With light and heavy-duty varieties, combinations of closed and open T-slots, Flexpipe®, Ready Tube® and Quick Frame®, radius and angled, black anodize and yellow powder coat, or smooth and align-a-grooves, you’re sure to find the exact profile to fit your design.
