Valuframe Aluminium Profiles

Valuframe : Value aluminum profiles for frame building

Valuframe profiles are available in 3 series and these series are denoted by the slot width and the "Core dimensions. The core dimensions are the base outer dimensions and the pitch of the aluminium profile slots. There are 3 different slot widths available, 5mm, 6mm and 8mm and generally, the wider the slot, the larger the profile. There are 3 core dimensions, 20mm (Based on 5mm slot), 30mm (Based on 6mm slot) and 40mm (Based on 8mm slot).

Series 5 profiles are generally based on 20mm core dimensions, with a 5mm slot that allows a maximum slot nut thread of M5, these profiles are used for small, light applications such as sensor supports, small doors, frames and enclosures. There are other profiles in this series including flat face versions.

Series 6 profiles are generally based on 30mm core dimensions, with a 6mm slot that allows a maximum slot nut thread of M6, these profiles are used for larger applications such as furniture, table top frames and enclosures. There are a growing variety of other profiles in this series including new flat finish profiles.

Series 8 profiles are the most popular, based on 40mm core dimensions, with an 8mm slot that allows a maximum slot nut thread of M8, these profiles are used for a vast range of applications from machine frame building to machine guarding, from special enclosures to vehicle structures. The series 8 profile family has the most profiles to choose from.

Aluminium profile frameworks are versatile and robust. When connected correctly the aluminium structure is strong and can be quickly and easily re-configred with basic tools.

The standard length for most profiles is 6 metres and can be supplied in full lengths, or for a small charge the profile can be cut to size for you. This is worth considering because not only are cut aluminium profiles easier and cheaper to transport, it also means you get no wastage of profile that you can not use. On some of the larger profiles this wastage can be a significant factor to some customers.
