T-Slot Guide
Modular T-Slot is a strong, lightweight material that can be connected in many ways to make structures for mounting your linear or rotary system.
These extrusions form the base structural components of any T-slot system. The idea of this system is to have modular components for assembling frames/chassis for whatever you might like. There is a wide array of hardware that attached to the extrusions by sliding into the namesake slots and screwing down. This whole system affords more flexibility than welded framing as it is easy to disassemble and reassemble on the fly and while it still requires some machining it is much easier to set up and maintain than a custom built frame.
This particular extrusion is in the PG20 series which means the extrusions have a profile that is 20mm on the short side. This is the smallest and lightest we have to offer which makes it ideal for smaller projects where weight and cost are more of a concern than maximum strength and rigidity.
T-Slot is all about building structures using modular parts. This PG20 profile can be connected to any other PG20 profile:
