Aluminium Systems Portfolio
TS Aluminium designs and processes architectural building products and industrial modular components inside our Slacks Creek workshop. Sourced from structural grade alloy billets, our profiles are tested to meet the high UV levels and heavy wind load environments of suburban and coastal Queensland.
Building Aluminium Series
Louvers, patio structures, carport roof kits, enclosed sunrooms, architectural double-glazed windows, folding doors, and pool fencing.
View Architectural Systems >Industrial Profiles
Anodized T-Slot profiles, mounting fittings, linear sliding rails, multi-axis CNC routed components, and custom die OEM extrusions.
View Industrial Profiles >Standards & Testing
Every product leaving our warehouse is recorded with specific hardness metrics (Vickers HV) and surface treatments thickness (Class 2 powder coating or AA25 clear anodizing). Structural spans are designed to comply with Australian Standards AS/NZS 1866, AS 3715, AS 2047, and AS/NZS 1170.2.

Engineering Analysis & Deflection Limit Calculations
TS Aluminium designs and processes all architectural and industrial systems to strict mechanical deflection limits. For clear-span structures, such as patio rafters and carport frames, the deflection is calculated under combinations of dead loads and dynamic wind pressures. The structural deflection limit is restricted to L/180 (span divided by 180) or 15mm maximum deflection under design load combinations. The elastic deflection is governed by the moment of inertia (Ix) of the profile section and the modulus of elasticity (E) of the alloy. For structural aluminium, E is taken as 70,000 MPa, as defined in AS/NZS 1664.1:1997 (Aluminium structures - Limit state design).
For example, the deflection of a simply supported rafter beam under a uniform load is calculated using the elastic formula:
deflection = (5 * w * L^4) / (384 * E * Ix)
Where 'w' represents the design load combination (including Region B wind uplift pressures), 'L' represents the clear span in millimeters, and 'Ix' represents the moment of inertia about the bending axis. For a 200mm x 50mm fluted rafter, Ix registers at 85.8 cm4, providing the stiffness needed to support spans up to 5.0 meters under N4 wind classifications.
For T-slot profiles used in machinery frames, stiffness is calculated to ensure linear rail alignment under static loads. Our modular frames feature structural alloys like 6005-T5, which offer high mechanical limits. By matching the moment of inertia tables with the dynamic load cycle limits of your equipment, our engineers select the correct T-slot profiles (TS 3030, TS 4040, or TS 8080) to prevent structural vibrations and extend tool lifespans.
