Slot 8 Aluminum Profiles
Slot 8 aluminum profiles are extruded aluminum sections with an 8 mm T-slot groove, used for modular frame construction and structural assembly. Shanghai Huishuo Aluminum Technology Co., Ltd. produces these profiles at its three production bases in Shanghai, Anhui, and Jiangsu, covering approximately 30,000 square meters. With over 16 years of aluminum profile customization and processing experience, the company supplies Slot 8 profiles in standard series and custom cross-sections, with in-house mold making, CNC precision machining, surface treatment, and frame assembly services.

Product Overview
Slot 8 aluminum profiles feature a nominal 8 mm groove that accepts standard 8 mm slot nuts, hammer nuts, and connectors. This slot size is commonly used in medium-duty frames where a balance between load capacity and profile weight is required. Profiles in this category are often produced in series such as 40 and 45, where the outer dimension and slot width are matched to the connection system.
The 8 mm slot allows fasteners to be inserted along the length of the profile and positioned at any point, which supports adjustable and reusable frame structures. Brackets, hinges, and joining plates designed for the 8 mm slot can be combined to build machine guards, workstations, and equipment frames without welding.
Huishuo Aluminum produces Slot 8 profiles from alloys such as 6063 and 6005, with options for anodizing, electrophoresis, spraying, and brushing. Custom cross-sections are developed through in-house mold design and extrusion molding when standard profiles do not meet the drawing requirements.
Connection System
The 8 mm slot accepts square nuts, hammer nuts, and T-slot nuts along the profile length. This allows connections to be positioned without pre-drilling and adjusted after assembly.
Standard brackets, corner connectors, and joining plates are available for building frames, guards, and supports.
Processing Options
Huishuo Aluminum provides cutting, drilling, milling, tapping, and bending according to drawings. Surface treatments include anodizing, electrophoresis, powder coating, and brushing.
Aluminum frame design and assembly are available as part of the one-stop service scope.

Common Questions and Solutions
What is the difference between Slot 8 and Slot 6 aluminum profiles?
Slot 8 and Slot 6 refer to the nominal groove width. Slot 8 profiles accept 8 mm nuts and connectors, while Slot 6 profiles accept 6 mm hardware. Slot 8 is commonly used in medium-duty frames, while Slot 6 is often specified for lighter structures. The choice depends on load, connection hardware, and available space.
Which series use an 8 mm slot?
Series such as 40 and 45 commonly use an 8 mm slot. The outer dimension of the profile and the slot width are matched to the connection system, so hardware compatibility should be confirmed when combining profiles from different series.
Can Slot 8 profiles be machined after extrusion?
Yes. Huishuo Aluminum provides CNC precision machining including drilling, milling, cutting, tapping, and bending. Machining is performed according to customer drawings with stable dimensions and controllable tolerances.
Do you provide assembly services for Slot 8 frames?
Yes. Huishuo Aluminum offers aluminum frame design and assembly as part of its one-stop services. This includes designing frame structures, supplying profiles and connectors, and assembling frames according to customer requirements.
Can you produce custom cross-sections with an 8 mm slot?
Yes. Huishuo Aluminum provides custom mold making for irregular profiles, including cross-sections with an 8 mm slot. The process includes mold design, development, and extrusion molding. Customers can supply drawings or samples for evaluation.
What information is needed to quote a Slot 8 profile order?
Useful information includes the cross-section drawing or series, material grade, length, quantity, machining operations, surface treatment requirements, and tolerance requirements. Providing these details allows Huishuo Aluminum to review feasibility and prepare a quotation.
Precautions for Use
Store Slot 8 aluminum profiles in a dry, ventilated area. Avoid contact with sharp objects that may damage the surface. When cutting or machining, follow safety procedures and use appropriate tools. For load-bearing structures, verify the structural design with qualified personnel. Confirm that the connection hardware matches the 8 mm slot before assembly. Ensure that fasteners are correctly tightened and that connections are checked periodically. Clean with mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners on treated surfaces. Handle profiles with care during transport and assembly to reduce surface damage.
