The T Slot Makes It All Possible!

T Slot aluminum have been used for such a wide variety of applications, all made possible by the versatility and modularity. This flexibility is primarily due to the T Slot aluminum construction of Faztek's aluminum extrusions. This long, narrow t slot covers the length of the aluminum extrusion, offering infinite positioning for the addition of fasteners, t-slot components, panels and other accessories.

Because Faztek offers various sizes and styles of aluminum extrusions, some have different T Slot aluminum configurations than others. Some of the most common profiles have one T Slot per side. Other wider profiles have two or even three T Slots per side, creating more flexibility and strength when designing a project.

Furthermore, some profiles only have T Slots on one or two sides leaving the other surfaces smooth and without a T Slot. This creates a flat, smooth surface ideal for use when cleanliness is a top priority. Faztek offers these "mono slot" and "bi-slot" t slot aluminum in both 1" x 1" and 1.5" x 1.5" sizes.

Not only can T Slot aluminum be used to add t-slot components and t-slot accessories, but they can also entertain creative ideas such as holding wiring much like electrical conduit would, or be used to hang tools and containers.

Panels are used extensively in conjunction with the T Slot aluminum to create machine enclosures, perimeter guarding, safety fencing, robot guards, partitions and many types of enclosures. Since the width of most T Slot aluminum is at least 1/4", panels can simply be inserted and held tight with a panel gasket. This is an easy and cost-effective way to create an enclosed t slot aluminum frame with panel or even wire mesh.

After assembling your project you can apply the finishing touch with a plastic T Slot cover. These colored covers add a pleasing aesthetic appearance as well as functionality. They can keep dust and other debris from collecting inside the T Slot aluminum and make cleaning much easier.
