Left Drawer – ITEM frame

Basic Information – ITEM

The frame was built using the T-Slot profiles of a company called ITEM.
ITEM is the pioneer in building kit systems for industrial applications and a global market leader. They recently opened their selling to the private/end customers.
I therefore registered on their homepage and started to build the frame construction within their online planning tool (called “Engineering Tool”). The cool thing about this is that you can use the online construction for price inquiry and project initiation on ITEM side. In addition they offer to download the 3D-Models which was very helpful for my later constructions.

I basically used standard products out of the ITEM Profile 6 line which are profiles with a base dimension of 30mm x 30mm.

Note:
Normally ITEM is recommending profiles of line 8 (40mm x 40mm) for lean production desks. But as I am not performing any heavy industrial work I found the Line 6 profiles sufficient for my purpose. Of course you might want to use an alternative like 80/20 or V-Slot profiles but keep in mind that everything on this project is based on the 30mmx30mm dimensions
