Aluminum framing systems

The Sigma profile market brings together a modular construction system for industrial frame structures. The product range extends from light and heavy aluminum profiles in various cross-sections and slots to T-nuts, screws, corner brackets, butt and panel connectors, as well as hinges, handles, end caps, sealing profiles, feet, and sliding components. Equipment stands, workbenches, safety equipment, and transport trolleys complement the modular system. This allows for the custom construction of machine bases, enclosures, safety frames, assembly workstations, shelving units, fixtures, and mobile material carts, among other things.

For a cohesive construction, the profile and attachment parts must be technically compatible. The profile slots enable bolted connections that can be adjusted later; however, they do not replace the design based on the load case and installation situation. Technical data such as the area moment of inertia, section modulus, and profile mass help estimate deflection and component weight. Systematic selection reduces incorrect combinations and facilitates a traceable parts list from the base frame to the final accessories.

• Select profile cross-section and light or heavy duty version according to span and load.

• Match slot size 6, 8 or 10 as well as profile system BSP or ISP with connectors and T-nuts.

• Determine the thread, connection angle, and mounting type to match the connection situation.

• Consider finish, delivery length, and required hinges, seals, feet, or castors.
