You can use the modular item system to create customised solutions that grow along with your requirements – for wide-ranging tasks in all kinds of sectors.
We offer more than 4500 mutually compatible components that you can use to build machine bases, work benches, automation solutions and lean production applications. Thanks to a number of different profile lines, you can design solutions for a variety of processes, including ESD-safe production, mechanical and factory equipment engineering, and cleanroom manufacturing. With the item Building Kit System, the sky’s the limit when it comes to getting creative!
The aluminum framing system is based on over 4500 item components that are all compatible with each other. This means you can build customised constructions based entirely on the modular building kit principle, and then adapt and extend them as required at any time.
Whether rounded, rectangular or angled, high-quality aluminum profiles from item are available in product-line-specific modular dimensions. The extensive profile system includes extruded construction profiles with a variety of features, offering you the right solution for any application.richtigen Konstruktionsprofile mit unterschiedlichen Eigenschaften.
From the item Building Kit System to the item Work Bench System – in the Online Shop, you will find all the components you need to design custom solutions. Selected preconfigured sample solutions and the item online configurators will also speed up the process of designing your projects.
Aluminium instead of steel – the innovative idea of the two item founders, Gerrit Pies and Wolfgang Rixen, produced the very first universal aluminium construction profile with grooves and screw connections. Today, the item aluminium profile system comprises more than 4500 mutually compatible components and is growing all the time. You can use it to design your very own constructions based on the building kit principle. Simply select the appropriate components and combine them using the item online configurators.
It’s quick, clean and flexible! Replacing time-consuming welding, item screw technology ensures simple assembly and flexible modification of your constructions, without compromising on stability. All extruded aluminium framing from the profile system is anodised, and it is produced in modular dimensions compatible with specific product lines. Different lines can therefore be combined seamlessly to create customised solutions.
Even when subjected to high loads, the connecting elements reliably hold firm. What’s more, end-to-end modularity means it’s easy to make changes at any time – ideal for dynamic requirements.
The perfect complement to item aluminum profiles – you can choose from a wide range of panel elements made of different materials to effortlessly create surfaces and housings supported by the outer frame. The impressive stability and adaptability of item panel elements means tamper-proof guards and enclosures can be assembled and modified quickly.
Made from a variety of materials and in a wide range of designs, these panels are suitable for all kinds of processes. For example, you can design surfaces and casings with both functional and aesthetic features for your production operations.
Besides a large selection of extruded aluminium profiles, reliable fasteners and versatile panels, the modular aluminium profile system also includes application-specific components. From accessories for custom work benches, components for linear technology and conveyor rollers through to door and hatch mechanisms – thanks to the extensive range of specific components, you can create made-to-measure solutions for any kind of application.
From automated processes and clean production to ESD protection – with the modular aluminum profile system from item, you can kit out any production environment with bespoke equipment. Examples include machine enclosures, anti-slip stairways and platforms, reliable guards and aesthetically designed cable conduits.
You can use the item Work Bench System to design custom ergonomic workstations for manual production. The system’s modularity means item benches can be flexibly equipped for specific tasks. You can create ESD workstations, cleanroom workbenches and entire assembly lines, for example.
The Lean Production Building Kit System from item is the ideal basis for exceptionally lean processes. The lean system centres on Profile Tube System D30. In just a few simple steps, you can build exceptionally light transport trolleys and racks, as well as roller conveyors and Karakuri/LCA structures.
From cobot integration to cleanroom applications, the item aluminium profile system enables flexible construction of machine cabins and enclosures for safe and clean production. The system includes Line X and XMS profiles, along with a whole host of accessories.
You can use the item Linear System to build customised single axes, synchronous axes and multi-axis gantries as required, with movement in two or three dimensions. From controllers to motors and gearboxes, high-performance drive components round off the extensive item portfolio.
From conveyor belts and roller conveyors through to variable work bench interlinking, our system of extruded aluminum profiles enables you to build modular and durable solutions for an optimum material flow – for goods of all shapes, sizes and weights.
When it comes to equipping cleanrooms, the item profile system offers you maximum flexibility and reliability. Special cleanroom components prevent dirt deposits and create surfaces that are exceptionally easy to clean. You can also effortlessly integrate ESD protection if required.
Whether you are looking to integrate cobots or mobile industrial robot systems, item solutions enable you to customise peripheral equipment for your robotics projects. Robot bases and Base Carts are compatible with models of popular manufacturers. For mobile robots, you can add a wide range of Top Module superstructures to the Base Carts.
Our portfolio extends well beyond the modular item Building Kit System. Discover how you can combine our aluminum profile system and range of services to push the boundaries of what is possible and add your own dimension.
Design your projects wherever and whenever you want. The item Engineeringtool supports online design engineering in a 3D environment. What’s more, all the associated project documentation and much more besides is just a click away.
Discover all the components of the modular profile system in the item Online Shop. Preconfigured sample solutions are available, too. You can use these in your production operations as they are or customise selected sample solutions to suit your needs.
