Anodized aluminum profile PIL series

aluminumcurvedT-slot

Overview
The key element of the Modular Automation System by Robotunits is the unique aluminum extrusion technology. The Extrusion Technology 40mm Series is designed for assembly cells, lightweight machine frames and a wide range of industrial constructions. The common 14 mm T-slot and Robotunits fasteners ensure cross-series compatibility and modular assembly.

Included extrusions (examples / catalogue items)

• Extrusion 16x40 (PIL 1640)
• Extrusion 40x40 (PIL 4040)
• Extrusion 40x80 (PIL 4080)
• Extrusion 80x80 (PIL 8080)
• Extrusion 40x40 Lean Line (PIL 4140)

Facts

• Extra-large uniform 14 mm T-slot
• Concave extrusion surface
• Tubular honeycomb profile structure

Benefits

• Full compatibility across the extrusion technology; process reliability with standard thread depth
• Long-term vibration resistance due to concave surface pretension
• High torsion and load resistance for structural applications

Default values

• Maximum length: up to 6 meters
• Compatible combinations with 40 mm and 50 mm extrusion series
• 14 mm uniform T-slot across the range
• Post-insertion of heavy-duty drop-in nuts up to M8 supported

Special features

• 13 standard extrusions combinable to create diverse structures
• Tubular honeycomb design for high stiffness-to-weight ratio
• Maximum wall thickness at critical extrusion points
• Unlimited reusability for modular systems
• Centering at the base of the T-slot for precise assembly
• All extrusions anodized — no additional surface finishing required
• Delivered with adhesive label and thread cuts for immediate processing
• Lightweight "Lean Line" variants available within the 40mm family
