  • Ideal for: Machine frames, protective & test enclosures

Mounting brackets

Flat, strong, space-saving

  • Galvanised steel | Only 4-5 mm material thickness | Minimal space requirement
  • 30×30 mm (46 g) & 40×40 mm (100 g) | Corrosion-protected
  • Ideal for: confined spaces, panel mounting

Reinforcement connections

Gusset plates

Stainless steel reinforcement for critical points

  • 3 mm stainless steel wall thickness | Corrosion-resistant | Fatigue-resistant
  • Angle & T-connections | 30-80 mm profiles | Up to 738 g weight
  • Ideal for: Heavy-duty machine frames, vibration-stressed frames

ZIG connectors

Friction-locking standard connectors – universally positionable

  • Standard ZIG: 35 g | ZIG-A: 46 g (accessible from one side)
  • Infinitely adjustable | M8 thread | Retrofittable
  • Ideal for: Longitudinal connections, closed surface constructions

Fastening elements

Slotted nuts M5/M6/M8

Galvanised slotted nuts – universal for any T-slot connection

  • 6 mm slots: M5 & M6 (5 g) | 8 mm slots: M5, M6 & M8 (7 g)
  • Can be swivelled in from the side | Can be inserted from the front
  • Basis for all T-slot connections | High-strength design

Lens head screws

Complete equipment for all connection tasks

  • M5: Compact precision for precision mechanical connections
  • M6: Versatile standard for medium loads
  • M8: Maximum force for heavy-duty applications

What profile connections does MUNK offer?

MUNK supplies the complete range: corner brackets, mounting brackets, gusset plates, ZIG connectors, M5-M8 T-slot nuts and pan head screws for all T-slot sizes.

How does the T-slot connection system work?

T-slots serve as continuous guide rails into which slot nuts or sliding nuts are inserted or swivelled. These elements have a metric thread (M4-M12) into which screws engage. Connections are tightened with Allen or Torx tools.

Can the connections be expanded at a later date?

Yes, the T-slot system allows for expansion or modification at any time. Swing-in slot nuts can be integrated into existing structures without complete disassembly.
