Equipment & Supply

Aluminum framing, machine guarding, identification products and automation components.

Supplied against drawings, part lists, cut lists and tag schedules for machine builders, system integrators and plant maintenance teams.

Great Lakes Robotics does not run an online store. Pricing and lead times depend on specification and quantity, so every order starts with a quotation.

Aluminum Extrusion

Aluminum Extrusion & Machine Framing

Industrial aluminum extrusion, framing components and engineered machine structures for factory automation.

Great Lakes Robotics supplies aluminum extrusion systems for machine frames, robot cells, guarding, workstations, fixtures and general industrial construction.

We can support anything from individual profiles and hardware through cut-to-length framing packages and complete machine-frame assemblies.

Unlike a catalogue-only extrusion supplier, Great Lakes Robotics can assist with the surrounding application as well as the components themselves.

Aluminum extrusion profiles, brackets, hinges, handles and leveling feet on a workbench, with extrusion frames behind.
