Scott Equipment Company supports FRAME-WORLD structural aluminum framing, machine bases, modular guarding and supporting components for manufacturers, OEMs and integrators throughout North and South Carolina.
FRAME-WORLD
FRAME-WORLD manufactures structural aluminum extrusions and components used to build machine bases, frames, stands, guarding, robot-safety fencing, workstations, carts, conveyors and tooling supports. Its modular framing system includes T-slot profiles, brackets, fasteners, panel hardware, specialty finishes, machined profiles, kits and preassembled structures.

Modular Structural Aluminum Framing for Industrial Applications
FRAME-WORLD provides a complete system of aluminum profiles, connecting hardware and accessories for modular machine structures. The company manufactures its products at its facility in Lake in the Hills, Illinois, and supports applications across automotive, pharmaceutical, aerospace, plastics, technology and other manufacturing industries.
Complete Framing System
Profiles, brackets, joining plates, fasteners, feet, casters, hinges, handles, panel materials and other accessories support complete structures.
Configurable & Reusable
Modular connections allow structures to be assembled, expanded, modified or reconfigured without welding.
Profiles, Kits & Assemblies
FRAME-WORLD offers bulk profiles, cut and machined material, frame-specific kits, preassembled modules and complete structures.

Explore FRAME-WORLD applications →Help Plan and Coordinate a FRAME-WORLD Structure
Our Sales and Technical Teams can help review the structure, dimensions, loading, panel requirements, access points, finish and supporting components. We can also coordinate framing with machine-safety devices, sensors, controls, cable management and robotic equipment.
Application & Layout Review
Discuss dimensions, load, span, mounting, access, panel materials, mobility and future modification requirements.
Profile & Hardware Selection
Coordinate extrusion size, slot format, brackets, fasteners, feet, casters, handles, hinges and panel hardware.
Kits & Preassembled Solutions
Review cut profiles, machined components, frame-specific kits, FastFrames modules and value-added assemblies.
Supporting Automation Components
Coordinate safety switches, light curtains, cable management, sensors, controls and robotic-workcell equipment.
Important: Machine guarding must be developed from a documented risk assessment. Final guard height, opening size, safety distance, access control, structural suitability and validation should be determined by qualified personnel using current standards and application requirements.
