Aluminum Framing Systems – The Power of Integration
POSTED 10/08/2024
Aluminum is one of the most commonly used metals in industry. Aluminum framing systems are an important component of many modern designs and applications; they have developed into a pioneering technology in the world of design. They offer a wide range of applications and are extremely popular in many industries thanks to their flexibility and modularity.
Aluminum framing systems consist of aluminum profiles, connectors, joints and much more, which are available in various shapes and sizes and are often combined to create complex structures and constructions. The profiles are held together by connecting elements and allow easy adjustment and modification of the structure as well as the fitting of accessories. Aluminum’s light weight makes the aluminum framing systems particularly attractive, as they are easier to transport and assemble than comparable constructions made of heavier materials (such as welded frames made of steel/stainless steel).
The advantages of aluminum framing systems
Aluminum framing systems offer versatile and flexible solutions that are used in various industries for different applications. They are popular for several reasons: Aluminum framing systems are very lightweight, which facilitates transport and handling. Nevertheless, they offer high stability and corrosion resistance. They are remarkably flexible because they can be easily adapted and extended without the need for special tools. Finally, the various surface treatments, such as anodizing or powder coating, create an attractive appearance.
Versatile applications
The versatility, adaptability, and numerous advantages of aluminum framing systems make them an indispensable solution in many industries and applications. Their field of application is almost unlimited and extends from industrial plants to private projects:
- They are often used in industrial production. Thanks to their easy adaptability and high load capacity, they are ideal for constructing machine frames, substructures, and belt conveyors.
- In warehouses and logistics centers, aluminum framing systems are used to construct conveyor systems and rack systems for material transport.
- In medical technology, they are used to produce medical devices and laboratory equipment; precision and adaptability are particularly important here.
- The food industry appreciates aluminum framing systems due to their hygienic properties. They are used in packaging lines and other applications where strict hygiene regulations apply.
- In furniture production, they serve as a basic structure for shelving systems, cabinets, and tables.
- In the automotive industry, they can be found in various areas such as assembly lines and storage systems.
- And aluminum framing systems are also used for storing and to build rack systems and storage facilities.

Innovative 2-in-1 function
The MPS aluminum framing system is based on high-precision aluminum profiles that can be joined simply and efficiently with connectors. This innovative and very efficient assembly technology combines the functions of the dovetail and the T-slot or dovetail slot in a single application.
All dovetail clamping connections are accessible from the outside, which greatly facilitates the assembly, disassembly, and adjustment of the connection points and saves time and costs. The slot nuts in the dovetail slot secure the fastening of accessories such as adjustable feet, and at the same time, enable precise and secure clamping. The variability of the dovetail slot application allows for different configurations depending on function and design. Fewer grooves reduce the risk of contamination and improve hygiene.
