It’s Time to Revolutionize Robotics
The rapid rate of technology adoption in almost every industry is driving growth in robotics and automation at a wildly fast pace. When it comes to industrial robotics automation, the wheels of innovation are clearly in motion—and its pioneers need to move fast to stay ahead of demand. From R&D and prototyping to post-launch, every step involved in bringing robotics and automation solutions to life must be approached with safety, efficiency, and creativity in mind.
Agility Matters in Robotics and Automation Environments
Speed to market is crucial for companies that design robotics and industrial automation solutions. Agility must be supported with flexible, dynamic workspaces that easily adapt to new technologies, people, tools, and ideas. When employees are free to think outside the box—without being constrained by their environment—the result is trailblazing ingenuity.
• Advancements in artificial intelligence and machine learning will only intensify, which means companies must be able to continuously reevaluate and reposition the robotics and industrial automation solutions they bring to market.
• While innovation is the driver of success, it must also be balanced with costs if companies expect to remain competitive.
• In an Expectation Economy, customers are putting the pressure on automation and robotics companies when it comes to uptime, performance, cost, and flexibility.
• To ensure safety and precision, robotics and automation solutions must always perform to the highest standards.

Structural Systems to Support Automation Solutions
Aluminum framing systems and accessories can provide the versatility, customization, and flexibility that providers of industrial automation solutions need in order to be as forward-thinking as possible. Whether you want to create stable bases for robotics testing or build modular conveyor systems, t-slot profiles can help you design the industry’s most cutting-edge industrial automation solutions.
Success Starts with T-Slot Systems
Structural framing systems and accessories can set automation and robotics companies up for success. You’ll be able to create versatile and productive environments to meet the needs of your projects and clients.
Multi-Use
Use your t-slot framing components to redesign and rebuild, supporting your newest ideas for industrial robotics automation. Reuse and repurpose to optimize the return on your investment, whether you need to build safety enclosures or set up vertical storage racks.
Easy Connection
T-slot aluminum systems make it simple to streamline the process of connecting your equipment and workstations to power, data, and pneumatics. Running tubes, cables, and wires in the channel saves space, ensures safety, and protects critical connections.
Safe Work
If you want to move fast, then you need to create safe surroundings for workers—and this means ergonomically correct setups, too. A well-designed space is a win-win: It makes tasks easier and more comfortable to complete and keeps your workers happier and healthier.
60% of employees who work with robotics and AI expect the technology to positively impact the worker experience.
How 80/20 Can Enhance Industrial Robotics
Whether you want to build resilient support structures or instrument mounts, our T-slot profiles can easily become the solution you’ve been looking for.
Mix-and-Match Components
You can attach sensors, valves, safety controls, scanners, and other accessories to the t-slot frame, turning your structure into part of your workflow. A “2-degree drop-lock” prevents high stress and creates a vibration-resistant connection. They’re also resistant to the hydraulic fluids and harsh cleaning agents used in robotics and automation solutions.
Infinite Positioning
There are more than 120 profile shapes to choose from to accommodate whatever design you have in mind. We can show you what others have done, or you can create on your own using simple tools. And if you change your mind later, you can easily move, add, change, or remove devices and components along the T-slot channels.
