80/20 FAQs

  1. What does 80/20 make?
    80/20 manufactures T-slotted aluminum extrusions — modular profiles assembled with simple hand tools (no welding) to build machine frames, automation cells, safety guarding, and material handling systems. The T-slot design means structures can be reconfigured, extended, or relocated without remanufacturing.

  2. Where can I buy 80/20 in Florida, Alabama, or the Caribbean?
    Adams is an authorized 80/20 distributor across the Southeast US and Caribbean. We have a dedicated 80/20 Product Specialist and CAD designers who recommend integrations with existing equipment and identify where 80/20 will speed up cycle times or cut costs.

  3. What applications is 80/20 used for?
    Machine framing (lean, reconfigurable equipment frames), machine guarding (custom safety enclosures and barriers), automation structures (robot cells, conveyor frames, vision stations), and material handling (ergonomic carts, kanban racks, storage). The same T-slot system handles all of these.

  4. Do I need welding or specialized tools to build with 80/20?
    No. 80/20 connects with simple hand tools using bolts, brackets, and T-slot fasteners. Structures can be built quickly, modified as needs change, and disassembled for relocation. That's a major reason 80/20 fits high-mix manufacturing where layouts evolve.

  5. Can Adams design a custom 80/20 solution for my application?
    Yes. Adams' 80/20 Product Specialist and CAD designers work with customers in three steps: concept sketch, CAD design, and build to completion. The team can also walk your facility to identify where 80/20 will speed up cycle times, cut costs, or create efficiencies in existing operations.
