Products of the Month

Workstations
Provide comfort and promote efficiency with a workstation designed with T-slotted aluminum extrusions from 80/20 Inc. T-slotted extrusions provide the adjustability to make one work area ergonomically correct for several operators, and can be easily redesigned as processes and procedures change. Standard components like tool hangers, storage bins, swing arms, and linear bearings allow for quick and efficient setup changes. Many extrusions can also be used as a pressure manifold up to 150 psi to accommodate valves, actuators, pumps, regulators, and hoses, eliminating the burden of unnecessary pneumatic lines. The extrusions are cost-effective, modular, require less assembly time, and require the use of only simple hand tools. For more information visit www.8020.net or call (260) 248-8030.
