For us, it started in October of 1996, when MB Kit Systems’ founders decided to leave item Industrietechnik GmbH in Solingen, Germany, to start a new life in the United States. Having been with item International since 1976, MB Kit Systems was founded with a strong understanding of item’s high quality extruded aluminum framing system. Akron, Ohio, was decided on as the location to start MB Kit Systems Inc., formerly also known as item North America. Today, MB Kit Systems is the largest U.S. developer of extruded aluminum framing applications using item extrusion profiles and components.
MB Kit Systems utilizes the high-quality Machine Building Kit System of item International to design and construct extruded aluminum mechanical solutions, including linear actuators, material handling systems and machinery for a wide range of industrial applications. Compared to other extruded aluminum framing systems, the differences in aluminum extrusion quality are obvious from a side-by-side comparison, but the advantages go far beyond aesthetics. The high straightness tolerance and precision of the item extruded aluminum profiles enable us to design and build impressive custom linear actuators from off the shelf components.
At MB Kit Systems, we understand the benefits of utilizing the high-quality item Machine Building Kit System. The versatility of the modular, extruded aluminum framing system has its own inherent advantages by enabling engineers to easily alter and revise a machine design or process. The range of more than 300 item lightweight aluminum profiles and thousands of accessories enable our engineering group to select the most appropriate components for each application.
Our engineers specialize in dynamic applications; designing belt-driven linear actuators with travel from a few inches to over 100 feet. We also build ball screw actuators up to 110 inches in length, available with 5- and 20-pitch screw. In addition to linear motion systems, we are experts in robust structures, sub-structures, machine bases, machine frames, material handling applications -- including assembly lines and material handling carts -- industrial workbenches, special application enclosures, machine safety hard guarding and custom mezzanines, work stairs and platforms.
item’s high-quality Machine Building Kit System is not the only value you get from working with MB Kit Systems. Additionally we offer no-cost engineering services, as well as an experienced sales team with customer service as a first priority. Our team works closely with distributors, end users, and original equipment manufacturers to design extruded aluminum linear motion systems, machinery and framing solutions using the most appropriate aluminum profiles and other components available.
