L Style Gantry on a 6040 sized machine?

Look for Bosch Rexroth or equivalent BR style profile. 10mm slot

Do you know if there is any significant price differences between BR and for example Item profiles? Both are offering 45 series profiles with 10mm slot.

EDIT: Just checked and Item does not offer 45 series profiles, only 40 or 50 series. I got a quote from Item on 1000mm long 80x160 profile: 220 Euro. That seems expensive, dont you think? I need to get a quote also from BR.

Thanks Jazz, I found a supplier of Bosch Rexroth in Perth, 200 km away.
They also supply other brands so have asked about them as well.

Thanks guys....just what I wanted to know.
I'll be using Item24 so will see what sizes they offer.

I might be blind Jazz but they don't seem to sell the heavy duty version, prices are very good. I recovered the aluminium extrusion from a magazine printer and KJN charged me 75p a cut and £1 a hole so at least for me was lucky to have KJN on my door step. I had 3.6m lengths to deal with lol it was all the heavy duty profile.

I watched them cut mine so maybe them spent more time on it lol because it was spot on, I'm sure they have a DRO on the saw but was couple of years ago and they have multiple saws so maybe not all have the DRO.

The drilling is a cnc drilled so shouldn't be any issue there.

If that other firm sell heavy duty version I certainly use them next time if I don't buy another magazine printer to scrap.

That source is a bust.
They will only sell 6m lengths. They will cut it but you still have to buy the whole length!
$2530 ex gst plus shipping.......Splitters!


back to plan; 'next'

That is insane.

Whats to stop you getting a mate in the UK to buy and ship out to you?

1m of 90x45 is £25 + VAT = £30

Shipping of 5kg 1m x 10cm x 5cm box to generic "aussie location" major port = £38

That price applies up until 185cm - anything more they don't like, but thats a decent gantry span. Posting directly to Australind or Packenham is £39, 1-3 day service apparently.

Lets double the cost to account for me being an idiot and not accounting for import duties... Say £135 per metre door to door.

Thats way better than your quote of £1400 for 6m ~ £233/m not including shipping.

I'd say his aussie flag in his profile lol

My aluminium in the machine weighs 60kg's+ but I found a few extrusion suppliers in Oz and also could ship from China cheaper than UK.
