Our patented technology makes T-slot modular aluminum framing obsolete & is as tough as welded steel.

For decades, traditional aluminum T-slot systems have propped up framing structures with pivots and friction – a cheap setup that misaligns and fails over time. About 6 years ago, our Wisconsin-based Controlled Dynamics team of a few dozen took its patented blanking tool technology and re-engineered it for the structural framing system market. After years of engineering research, we're ready to sh

ow how AngleLock extruded components combine the modularity of T-slots with the sturdiness of welded steel. Unlike T-slots, AngleLock's exclusive technology tightens and maintains precise alignment over time, making it ideal for your dynamic application in:

• Manufacturing
• Automation
• Aerospace & defense
• Custom needs
