    I go with Framingtech for my requirements. I also use 80/20 as they have the largest selection, but you may have to wait because they have longer lead times.

    With t-slot mounts you save lot of space compared to traditional mounts. This makes it possible to use more solar panels in the same area. Thereby, increasing the overall surface area.

    KDalton-mech replied to the topic Maintenance in the forum T-SLOT QUESTIONS & ANSWERS 1 year, 7 months ago

    T-slot, in my experience, has been easy to maintain. It doesn’t accumulate heavy dust, and anything that does get on it canbe wiped clean. If a section gets damaged, it has been relatively easy to order a new part and reinstall it.

    Clean rooms are usually permanent fixtures that are used in a factory where they need maximum cleanliness and a dust-free zone. They are strategically placed where the least amount of contamination exists and are constructed to be air-tight to minimize pollutants entering into the enclosure.

    KDalton-mech replied to the topic How do different T-slots differ? in the forum T-SLOT QUESTIONS & ANSWERS 1 year, 7 months ago

    Some companies limit their products, as they don’t have facilities to provide aluminum extrusions of all sizes, do check with the companies site to make sure they have the right profile and right sizes before you order.
