Exploring V Rail Applications to Elevate Your Robotics Projects

We’re excited to introduce the versatile T-Slot 3030 V Rail from Studica Robotics, available in 10 customizable lengths ranging from 48mm to 1000mm. Whether you’re building in the classroom or for competitions like FIRST^® Tech Challenge (FTC), FIRST^® Robotics Competition (FRC), or even automation applications, this lightweight, durable V Rail is engineered to provide strength, flexibility, and precision. Let's explore how you can use them to take your robotics projects to the next level!

V Rail Applications for Robotics and Beyond

The design of our T-Slot 3030 V Rail makes it a versatile tool. It can serve as stabilizer bars to strengthen your robot’s structure or as support columns for creating sturdy stack bots and vertical builds. Its V-shaped groove ensures smooth, precise alignment, making it perfect for linear motion systems that slide effortlessly in any direction. Thanks to its modularity and flexibility, this rail is also ideal for constructing robot bases, end-effector mounts, conveyor systems, and even camera sliders.

Uses for Robotics Competitions like FTC

Robotics teams need adaptable, modular, and reliable components to succeed in competitions. The T-Slot 3030 V Rail provides precisely that. Its versatile design enables teams to construct robust structures, integrate precise motion systems, and quickly adapt to changing design requirements. Here are just a few practical applications for FTC teams:

Stabilizer Bars: Reinforce your robot's structural integrity with lightweight and sturdy stabilizer bars.
Support Columns: Use the rail as columns to support stack bots or vertical structures.
Linear Motion Systems: Create smooth and accurate linear slide systems for mechanisms that require precise movement. The V-shaped groove ensures alignment and stability for carriages and sliders.
Custom Builds: Easily cut the rail to size to match your unique project requirements.

Whether you're building a chassis, supporting lift mechanisms, or creating a slide system for sample collection in the INTO THE DEEP challenge, the T-Slot 3030 V Rail delivers the flexibility and strength your team needs to perform at its best.

Engineered to Address Common Robotics Challenges

Customizable Lengths: Available in 10 options ranging from 48mm to 1000mm and easily cut to size for custom applications.
