The TSLOTS catalog has been enhanced to include new profiles, accessories, TSLOTS brackets and many other parts designed to complete your project. TSLOTS is a product offering of Eagle Mouldings, an aluminum extrusion company that provides stock and custom extrusions. If your project calls for a custom extrusion, we can provide it for you too! The concept behind the T-Slotted aluminum extrusion is to make assembly of structures faster and easier than using welded steel. That’s because the main component of the system is the TSLOTS design: insert a T-Nut and fastener into a T-Slot and tighten. It’s that simple. No welding or grinding required. All you need to tighten your TSLOTS design is a few simple hand tools. When you are done, you have a durable, strong, lightweight structure that’s functional and attractive. The high-strength extruded aluminum profiles have a clear and black anodize surface that is scratch and corrosion resistant. Your structure never needs painting and is maintenance free. PRODUCT WARRANTY » Returned unused product will be subject to a 20% restocking fee.

If your application calls for a different alloy, let us know and we can extrude it for you. SPRING LOCK FEATURE Our Fractional and Metric TSLOTS structural extrusions have a 2° taper that spring locks fasteners as they are tightened . Fasteners will not loosen, even under heavy vibration . FASTENER TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS The table (below) indicates the amount of torque needed in foot lbs . to activate the 2° drop lock feature of the extrusion . The nut and bolt combination is pre-loaded when tightened to the minimum torque rating . The pre-loaded state makes a vibration proof connection .

The person using this content is to assume all risk. With the many factors that can affect the torque specifiacations, the only way to deter- mine the correct information is through a series of tests under actual assembly conditions.9 ALUMINUM ALLOY An aluminum extrusion alloy is a predetermined mixture of one or more elements together with aluminum to be heated and hydraulically pressed through an extrusion die . Some common elements alloyed with aluminum include copper, magnesium, manganese, chromium, silicon, iron, nickel and zinc . TSLOTS extrusions use the 6560 or equivalent alloy . In addition to aluminum, the major alloying elements for this alloy include: Mg .25- .45% and Si .35- .8% . ANODIZING Anodizing is an electrochemical process that thickens and toughens the naturally occurring protective oxide . The resulting finish makes a corrosion resistant extrusion . TSLOTS extrusions have an acid etch anodize finish that is .4- .6 mil . thick . And the anodize is a Type 2 Sulfuric . REMEMBER – WE CUSTOM EXTRUDE TOO! Futura can ship you a finished extrusion with your TSLOTS orders . Futura provides the following operations: ° Extrusion ° Machining ° Heat treating ° Warehousing ° Cut to length ° Anodizing ° Painting ° Fabrication ° Engineering assistance ° Punch, slot, countersink TSLOTS VS.
