PARCO T-SLOT INDUSTRIES | RESEARCH & DESIGN
In research and development, collaborative problem solving is only as good as the modes, methods, and materials used. Equipment in a research and development environment needs to be adaptable and durable, and the designs and layouts should be responsive. As projects evolve, it is best to have a material that is safe, improves productivity, and increases efficiency.
T-Slot in R & D
Since T-slotted aluminum extrusions are modular, you can configure them to suit your R&D applications no matter the setting. Procedures and processes that utilize t-slot can be leveraged for modification quickly and easily at each phase.
Optimization of space is not the only thing gained when using t-slot in the research and development industry. Aluminum extrusions have the following characteristics that make them an ideal material for R&D.
- Non-magnetic
- Lightweight
- Aesthetically pleasing
- High strength-to-weight ratio
- No oxidation
- Vibration resistant-drop lock feature
- Anticorrosive
Advantages of Using T-Slot
We have over 80 aluminum extrusion profiles and over 2500 components that provide flexible solutions, such as the following:
- Research stations and enclosures
- Flow racks and utility carts
- Lab tables
- Guarding
- Perimeters
- Robotic arms and bases
- Storage cabinets
The list of advantages of using t-slot in the R&D industry is long. Aluminum extrusions are designed for:
- Having accessories and equipment fastened to them.
- Management of cords and wires
- No welding means no heat stress or warping
- Precise tolerances
- Ease of maintenance
- Impact and vibration
- Pressurization for pneumatics

Design and Shipment
Our customers will find that we do not have a minimum order policy and our products that are 100% interchangeable with all fractional 1″, 1.5″, and metric 30mm, 40mm, and 45mm. We also use SolidWorks Drawing to create 3D CAD drawings.
To get started on your R&D design, you can use our SolidWorks design quoter or send us an email (design@parco-inc.com), or you can send a fax (260-451-0843). Once your design is finalized, your items will arrive in the following ways:
- Raw Materials: 92″, 120″ 240″, 2.33M, and 6M bars of extrusion along with any fasteners, accessories, or other hardware needed to build your solution
- Kit Form: Will include profiles cut-to-length with any needed machining services and all hardware and accessories. Everything will be tagged to match the included CAD drawing.
- Fully Assembled: Your solutions will be built at Parco and completely assembled to your specifications. It will then be shipped to you, ready to install at your facility.
- In-Plant Installation: Our team of skilled professionals will install your solution at your location to your specifications and your satisfaction.
