Aluminum Profile
Industrial aluminum extrusion profiles
Overview
The aluminum profile element creates standardized aluminum extrusion profiles commonly used in industrial applications, machine frames, and modular construction. These profiles feature T-slots for easy assembly and modification.
Key Features
- Standard series: 20, 30, 40, 45
- Various size configurations
- T-slot compatible design
- Full position and rotation control

Basic Profile
A standard 20-series square profile:

Heavy-Duty Profile
A rectangular 40-series profile:

Best Practices
Tips for working with aluminum profiles.
Design Recommendations
- Choose appropriate series based on load requirements
- Consider T-slot compatibility when mixing different series
- Account for connector lengths in overall dimensions
- Use standard lengths when possible for cost efficiency
- Consider assembly sequence when positioning profiles
- Plan for cable management and accessory mounting
Common Applications
- Machine frames and enclosures
- Workstation and assembly tables
- Conveyor systems
- Safety guards and fencing
- Display and exhibition stands
- Laboratory equipment
- Clean room installations
Accessories Compatibility
Aluminum profiles can be enhanced with various accessories:
- T-slot nuts and bolts
- Corner brackets and gussets
- Panel mounting clips
- Hinges and door components
- Cable management solutions
- Leveling feet and casters
- End caps and covers
Common Issues and Solutions
Solutions to frequently encountered problems.
Series/Size not recognized
Check that the series and size format matches exactly (e.g., "20" and "20x20"). The series is a number, and size uses the format "WxH".
Profile orientation incorrect
Use rotation parameters to orient the profile. By default, profiles are oriented along their length in the Z-axis. Use ry=90 for horizontal orientation.
T-slots not aligning
Check rotation values and ensure profiles are properly oriented relative to each other. The same series profiles should align their T-slots when properly positioned.
