Aluminum Profile
Industrial aluminum extrusion profiles
Overview
The aluminum profile element allows you to create 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

- 40 Series: Heavy loads, machine frames, conveyors
- 45 Series: Maximum strength, structural applications
Usage Examples

Basic Profile
A standard 20-series square profile:

20
20x20
1000
#A4A4A4
0

0
This creates a 20x20mm profile, 1000mm long, in standard aluminum color.
Heavy-Duty Profile
A rectangular 40-series profile:

40x80
500
#A4A4A4
90
This creates a 40x80mm profile, 500mm long, rotated 90 degrees around Y-axis.
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.
