80/20’s modularity is based upon the T-slot concept of our profiles. The 'T' shaped slots present on all of our profiles allow for infinite positioning along the axis. While there are other types of T-slotted profiles in the industry, one modification to the 80/20 line is a slight adjustment to the ' T.
I have started designing assembles in Fusion 360 using T-Slot, a lot of head scratching on how to make use of it at arbitrary lengths in my designs…
I started by making a 20mm length of T-Slot as its own model in Fusion 360; This is model has all of its materials and properties defined, as well as dimension origins added in additional sensible locations.
If you download either the T-Slot model or the 8mm stainless rod model, you can treat them them the same once they are imported.
I have put together a quick video showing you how to work with them:
- 1010 is a 1.00” x 1.00” fractional 10 series square T-slot profile with four open T-slots, one on each 1.00” face. The profile has align-a-grooves to assist in aligning connecting profiles. The 1010 profile is compatible with all 10 series fasteners.
- Automation 4 Less is pleased to stock the TSLOTS brand extruded aluminum framing system. These incredibly versatile components (which are compatible with 80/20, IPS, Item, Parker and similar systems) can be used to construct virtually anything you require.or could imagine! We now feature the 'B' series TSLOTS line which is compatible with Bosch.
