GATORJAWFramework System

GJ -102 - 0208 -15m

For manufacturing engineers and plant managers the GatorJaw Framework System redefinesversatility.This high-quality aluminum extrusion incorporates a one-piece fastener (none ofthose cumbersome T-slot inserts) with the patentedsquare-thread design.The fastener tightens down witha quick turn using the GatorJaw tool, included withevery purchase.The built-in serrated teeth on the bottom side of the fastener head bite in to hold tight.

GatorJaw goes together quickly, adjusts and reconfig-ures easily, and lasts forever.You can efficiently buildworkbenches, isolation enclosures, instrument stands,specialized carts and many other items.

GatorJaw means simplicity. Industrial engineers report reduced design time, reduced assemblytime, and countless dollars saved in reduced man hours.

GatorJawGatorJaw’s squarethread design self lockswithout the need of alocking nut.You workquickly and efficientlyTighten and loosen thefastener repeatedlywithout fear of damag-ing the threads.

With T-slot you mustslide all your nutinserts into placebefore you startassembly. This literallyrequires an extra set ofhands to position allthe pieces in place tobe properly tightened.

GatorJaw’s versatility also gives it a significant advantage over other construction materials. Steel isheavy and requires prepping, cleaning, welding, drilling, priming and painting. Pipe framing alsorequires preparation, and like steel, there is also the issue of heat warping.Wood also has preppingneeds and is susceptible to weathering. GatorJaw saves you time and money!

T-SlotDon’t be mistaken. GatorJaw is not a T-slot!

“GatorJaw’s design is just as strong, more universal and less expensive than thecompetition. It is by far the simplest, most economical and best performing alu-minum extrusion we found. It allows us to develop projects with the leastamount of parts and the quickest assembly time.”

James Meiselbach, Engineering Team,Futek, Irvine, CA

Designed to fit theneeds of theFactory Engineer!

GatorJaw accessories enable you to designsturdy creations that stand up to the heavydemands of industrial use. GatorJaw bracketsare available in many configurations to meetall your assembly needs. Refer to theGatorJaw Parts & Specifications Catalog forall available parts.

The 1-3/4” square GatorJaw framerail is extruded to exact tolerancesfrom tough, anodized 6063 T-5 alu-minum alloy.

Square threads running the length ofthe GatorJaw frame rail are designedto fit the matching square threads ofthe GatorJaw fastener, allowing youthe ability to attach brackets at anypoint along all four sides of theextrusion.

The smooth center hole running thelength of the GatorJaw frame railaccepts casters, leg levelers and endcaps. The hole can be taped to .3125”or 375”.

GatorJaw has built-in channels for insert panels. There is noneed to purchase additional profiles.The basic GatorJawextrusion includes eight insert channels for material from

.125” to .250” thick. GatorJaw acces-sories include glazing seals and trimcaps to provide a professional look.

is the Answer!

We were using stainless steel, cutting it and welding it, to mount sensitive scientificequipment. But with welding you were saddled with the final product. If it wobbled,or the floor was slightly uneven, you had a problem. GatorJaw can quickly be adjust-

ed to fit the application. GatorJaw works great, and it supports a lot of weight.

The main GatorJawframe rail is so versatileand utilitarian thatmany industrial design-ers build their entireproject around this oneframe rail.

The double extrusionbears heavier loadswith less deflection.The smooth interiorcavity can accommo-date a square steelinsert for reinforce-ment, used as a wirechase, or sealed withgasket material andtransformed into anairtight manifold.

Can be used as a wallsystem to accommo-date pegboard shelvesand cabinets, as amounting rail for partsbins, or as bracing forlarger GatorJaw struc-tures.

The specialized cabinetdoor extrusion assem-bles with corner keysand accepts .250” to.125” insert materials.

Each GatorJaw extrusion was designed with a purpose, incorporating maximum strength and utility.From the simplest product to a component that has to perform over and over again, GatorJaw’s extru-sions do the job!

Every GatorJaw accessory is designed to maximize the use ofthis unique product. Our goal is to increase the flexibility ofyour creations and give them that clean professional look.

BUILDWe used the GatorJaw framing system for creating Class 100 to Class 1,000 environmentsfor touch screen manufacturing.We built vertical and horizontal supports with anti-staticcurtains on the sides as a barrier with easy access, and fan-powered HEPA filters on thetop.We were sold by the product itself. It is easy to configure and it worked well, whetherthe conveyor was long or short, wide or narrow.And GatorJaw’s service was good, too.
