When makeing a structure that requires substantial structural integrity, is not under high vibrating loads or forces and does not have to be super-precise then aluminium extrusions are the way to go. (Here we are talking about precision under 0,1mm (0.03″) ). Most common uses are for enclosures, guards, working stations, machine structures… There are also a lot of industrial machines that have their entire frame built out of these profiles. In automation and mechatronics they are also pretty common.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://machinedsgn.com/aluminium-profiles/|title=Aluminium profiles • machinedsgn|date=2017-06-20|work=machinedsgn|access-date=2017-09-12|language=en-US}}</ref> |

80/20 is a framing system using extruded beams of 6105-T5 aluminum alloy. The integral T-slots create the foundation for the profile's assembly technology. Accessories are also available, which are specific to each framing system. Many of these accessories are made in-house, while most of the specialty products, such as panels and casters, are made by third party companies.[citation needed]
Profiles
Both metric and inch (fractional) profiles are available.
| Profile type |
Profile name |
Profile size |
Distance from edge of profile to centerline of T-slot |
|---|---|---|---|
| fractional | 10 series | 1" | 0.5" |
| 15 series | 1.5" | 0.75" | |
| metric | 20 series | 20 mm | 10 mm |
| 25 series | 25 mm | 12.5 mm | |
| 30 series | 30 mm | 15 mm | |
| 40 series | 40 mm | 20 mm | |
| 45 Series | 45 mm | 22.5 mm |

Uses
When makeing a structure that requires substantial structural integrity, is not under high vibrating loads or forces and does not have to be super-precise then aluminium extrusions are the way to go. (Here we are talking about precision under 0,1mm (0.03″) ). Most common uses are for enclosures, guards, working stations, machine structures… There are also a lot of industrial machines that have their entire frame built out of these profiles. In automation and mechatronics they are also pretty common.[1]
