80/20 T-Slot Framing & Safety Structures

Modular aluminum structures, fully documented and ready to order.

T-slot frame rendering. A T-slot aluminum frame with translucent guard panels, a door handle and an amber marker.

Modular, rigid, easy to change.

T-slot aluminum extrusion (often called “80/20”) is one of the fastest ways to put a rigid, adjustable structure on the shop floor. A good frame still needs engineering: the right profiles, sensible joints, stiffness where loads matter, and a parts list anyone can order from.

Guarding built around your requirements.

For guarding, enclosures and lockout stations, we design to the requirements you and your safety team set: openings, interlock locations, door swing, visibility and maintenance access. Risk assessment, standards compliance and final sign-off stay with the equipment owner.

Design for manufacturing

Every project starts with a DFM review: tolerances only where they matter, standard components before custom ones, and geometry that's simple to make.

Do you work with a specific extrusion brand?
No. We design with the T-slot system you prefer.
