This 4040 mm metric 20 series square T-slot profile is a square aluminium extrusion with a T-shaped slot running along each face. The slot accepts standard T-nuts, bolts and connectors, so a frame can be built by cutting the profile to length and bolting the pieces together instead of welding them. Because the slot runs the full length of the bar, fittings can be positioned anywhere along it, which makes the profile easy to rework and reuse.
The profile is square in section and belongs to the metric 20 series, a family of profiles that share the same slot geometry so that connectors and accessories fit across the range. The result is a modular building system rather than a single part.
Choose the section size from the load and the span. A larger section carries more load over a longer span with less deflection, while a smaller section keeps weight down where the demands are light. For the same reason, confirm the slot width, because the slot decides which nuts, bolts and accessories can be used in the frame.
Decide whether the frame must stay re-adjustable or can be assembled permanently. A T-slot frame built with connectors can be taken apart and rebuilt, which suits jigs that change, while welded or riveted frames are used where the geometry is fixed.
Before ordering, confirm the section size, the slot width, the length of each bar and the permitted length tolerance. Confirm how many slots each face has and whether the profile is closed on all four faces or open on some, because the slot layout decides which faces can take connectors and covers.
Confirm the surface finish and whether it must be consistent between batches, and state any requirement for machining such as drilled holes, tapped ends or cut-out slots. Finally, confirm the cut accuracy and how each bar must line up with the profiles it joins, because a frame is only as accurate as the cut lengths and the slot geometry that hold it together.
