Aluminium End Plate for T Slot Profile Frame Connection

Aluminium End Plate for T-slot Profile Frame Connection

Product Summary

The Aluminium End Plate is a surface-mount connector specifically designed for joining T‑slot aluminium profile frames at 90‑degree corner joints—typically where the end of one profile meets the side face of another. As a key component in MK‘s T‑slot framing ecosystem, this plate enables rapid, modular assembly without welding, drilling, or complex fabrication. It is commonly used to secure vertical supports to horizontal beams, reinforce structural corners, or create T‑shaped unions within a frame.-7

The product is manufactured from high‑grade aluminium alloy with an anodised surface finish, which combines structural strength with corrosion resistance and a professional appearance. It is compatible with MK’s 40‑series and 50‑series T‑slot profiles (both featuring 10 mm slot widths) and is part of a modular system offering over 200 profile shapes and more than 2,700 connectors.-2-5

Key Specifications

Typical Applications

• Machine frames and bases – joining vertical posts to horizontal beams-12

• Safety enclosures and machine guarding – constructing rigid perimeters-12

• Workstations and assembly stations – building ergonomic industrial benches-12

• Robot stands and gantry systems – reinforcing structural corners-12

• Carts, storage racks and display units – creating modular, reconfigurable structures-12

Key Advantages

• Modular flexibility – assemble, reconfigure or expand as requirements evolve-3

• No welding required – fast assembly using standard M8 hardware-3

• Corrosion resistance – anodised aluminium surface provides long‑lasting durability-3

• Precision fit – engineered for seamless integration with MK profiles-5

• Professional appearance – clean, finished look suitable for visible structures-7

Installation Method

The end plate is positioned over the target joint, with pre‑drilled mounting holes aligned to the T‑slot grooves of the supporting profile. Standard M8 T‑slot bolts or nuts (not included) are inserted into the profile‘s T‑slot, passed through the plate’s mounting holes, and tightened to secure the connection. The plate can be used on the outside face of a frame to maximise internal clearance, or on the inside face where a flush exterior appearance is required.

Manufacturer Background

Shanghai MK Aluminum Co., Ltd. has specialised in aluminium extrusion design and production since 2006. The company‘s Dongtai factory covers more than 210 hectares and includes 8 production buildings, with a total building area exceeding 200,000 m². The company’s annual output of aluminium profiles exceeds 60,000 टन, and it offers additional value‑added services including CNC machining, laser cutting, drilling, tapping, welding, and powder coating.-1-7

Note: The product‘s exact dimensional drawings, weight, hole pattern, and load ratings are not published on the product page. For engineering design purposes, it is recommended to request a technical datasheet or CAD file directly from MK Aluminum. Installation fasteners (M8 T‑slot bolts/nuts) are generally sold separately.
