Advantages of mk Extruded Aluminum Framing & T-Slot Aluminum Extrusions
With mk Aluminum Framing and t-slot aluminum extrusions you can build just about anything you can imagine, whether it be machine bases, safety enclosures, perimeter guards, tool racks, robot stands, carts, workstations, display units or something else.
- Flexibility
- Fast assembly
- Easy reconfiguration
- Cost and labor savings
- Superior fit and finish
- Easy-to-use system components
- Designed for high load applications
- High strength to weight ratio
- Corrosion resistance
- Re-usability of components
All t-slot extruded aluminum systems are engineered for a precise fit and maximum rigidity. Forget the hassles and inflexibility of steel – the welding, grinding, painting and waiting. mk t-slot aluminum extrusions offer you fast assembly, easy reconfiguration and unlimited flexibility.
