What can you make with T-Slots?
T-slot aluminum is a modular framework that allows you to make most anything. In industry, it is commonly used to create Workstations, Material handling apparatus, Workdesks, Machine Guarding, Climate and Office Enclosures, and many many more. It is often called the “erector set for adults”.
Are your Aluminum Extrusions compatible with 80/20, Bosch, Faztek, Tslots etc. ?
Parco T-slots are 100% compatible with all of the main industry companies such as 80/20, Bosch, Faztek, and others. Most series are depicted by a t-slot size number, for example, in fractional series, a 1″ extrusion is called the 10 series, 1.5″ extrusion is the 15 series, and then in our metric series, the aluminum profiles are named by the profile face length in mm. For example, the 30mm t-slot extrusion is the 30 series and so forth. When comparing these with other companies, match up the size and it will be compatible.
To accommodate both users of the metric and fractional sizes, Parco offers extrusions in the following sizes:
Light, Medium and Heavy Duty Options
10 Series Aluminum – profiles based on 1 inch increments
15 Series Aluminum – profiles based on 1.5 inch increments
30 Series Aluminum – profiles based on 30mm increments
40 Series Aluminum – profiles based on 40mm increments
45 Series Aluminum – profiles based on 45mm increments
