Valuframe - The Economy Aluminium Profile System.
Aluminium Extrusions System created for engineers by engineers.
Valuframe is the t-slotted aluminium profiles system for
economical frame building by Automation Supplies. It's purpose is to replace welded steel fabrications and
the more established, more expensive aluminium extrusion systems and aluminium profile systems
available in the UK.
Our range of t-slot
aluminium extrusions is called Valuframe to emphasise the focus on value for money. It's designed to
be an aluminium extrusion system that's a prudent choice for cost conscious engineers and machine builders.
Since introduction to the UK aluminium profile systems market, Valuframe has become such a success and
we retain our valued customers because we work harder to keep costs down and our service levels
high.
The aluminium profiles and connecting elements will seamlessly combine
with the more established and expensive aluminium extrusion based machine building systems
currently available. Our aluminium
profile systems have the same quality finish, the same options in connections and other fittings as many of these
more expensive aluminium
extrusion framework systems currently available. There are no minimum quantities to buy with
Valuframe. We will not make you buy 100 slot nuts when you need only 4. The unit of sale for the vast majority
of our parts is 1. Changing to Valuframe is
easy, talk to us about compatibility if you need to change from another aluminium extrusion
system to Valuframe, we will give you a straight answer.

Series 5 profiles
Are generally based on 20mm core dimensions, with a 5mm slot that allows a
maximum slot nut thread of M5, these aluminium extrusions are used for small, light applications
such as sensor supports, small doors, frames and enclosures.
|
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.
|
Series 8X30 profiles
Series 8X30 profiles are versatile profiles offering the economy of 30mm
dimensions with the flexibility of an 8mm slot for a wide range of connecting elements. Used
for a wide range of applications from frame building to jigs and fixtures.
|
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 guarding, from special enclosures to vehicle structures.

What can I make with an aluminium extrusion system?
|
Valuframe aluminium profile systems and t-slot aluminium extrusions have a huge
array of uses, not all industrial. In fact it's versatility is limited only by your imagination,
but if you need a little help, then visit our photo gallery for inspiration.

Why would I use an aluminium profile system?
As a raw material, aluminium extrusions are still more expensive than steel, so why do so many
people move over to using aluminium profiles?
No welded joints; so you can move the aluminium extrusions if needed.
No painting or priming; the aluminium is
finished with a clean, attractive and modern looking bright anodised finish.
Assembly is an unskilled job; with none of the
health and safety issues associated with welding, dressing, painting and other engineering
operations.
Speed of assembly; panels and frames can be put
together in next to no time.
Adaptability; those slot nuts and many other
connecting elements are small but versatile and will help make your frame building life
easier.
Recyclable; you can always use the profiles
somewhere else if your assembly is temporary.
