What are the basic parameters we have to consider before we start a T-Slot framing project?
The basic parameters for any design with T- Slot are
1. The right extrusion profile
2. Proper joint configuration
3. Load factor.
4. Vibration effects.
Choose the right extrusion profile with the following points taken into consideration:
1. Calculating the safety factor.
2. Calculating the bending stresses
3. Calculating the buckling strength.
While choosing the right configuration, avoid relying on friction based joints to support the load.
Would also like to note that you should use high-strength extrusion systems for more demanding applications
Do make note to choose the right join configuration as well depending on what you need.
First we have to choose the
Structure type : static or dynamic
Load handling capacity and
Stress involved
I think we left out the aesthetics part as that also has an important role when it comes to using it for domestic applications like furniture, prefab house etc.
Selecting the Right Extrusion profile and extrusion joints are very essential as is provides stability and strength to the structure.
1st make sure whether the given structure would function well after being constructed. Then select the T-slots with reference to the acting load.
A lot of great tips here to keep in mind, some even I didnt think of before starting my projects. Think I’m going to make a checklist out of these
