Answers:

Here you can find the definition of some special words we use in our shop.

• What does Ex Works mean?
You can find this concept with every product under the delivery time information. Ex Works means that the goods will leave our facilities after the stated delivery time. The delivery time of GLS/DPD must be added to top.
Ex Works refers to delivery times only.

• What does RYA mean?
You can find this concept on some products.

Our logistics chain is long and has reserves.
We offer surplus reserves under RYA.
At a lower price and with a target date.
This target date is not flexible in the case of an order because the goods are somewhere in the process chain by the deadline.

• What does SLY mean?
You may see this concept on some products.

We do not consider our products to require any explanation. Our software analyses our experience with you as a customer.
As a regular customer with normal communication efforts, you will get better prices and additional offers. Automatically, without the intervention of an employee. The system "likes you".
System likes you = SLY

• What does Platform mean?
You may see this concept on some products.

For the time being, we only do platform orders with real friends.
Here we buy together. You can buy directly from the factory without having the usually necessary quantities and processes. As a passenger in a regular order from us. For a fee for processing, not for a selling price.


• What does IN VIFA BOX mean?
Your order is in a sarcophagus with other orders en route to our national logistics centre in Spain.

• What does D17/D17 - SSV or V mean?
D17V = hole of 90mm through the 45 width side D17 = 2 holes of 45mm length through the 90 width side. D17-SSV means only the the holes are not drill through the whole profile, it'S drilled only so deep that the fast connector fit in the hole. For a square profile 45x45 is the only difference if you select D17 for one side and D17V for the side then these 2 bore holes are turned about 90° to each other.

• What is the Babble Factor?
Motedis fully automates the purchasing process in our online customer interface and we remove unnecessary services to offer you very competitive prices for small and large orders. In this way, industry standard products are available to anyone who can deal with a robot of a few words. Our customers don't need help with the application of the products, as they already know exactly what they need and how to use it to bring their ideas to life. The interference factor is calculated as follows: Our software analyses our experience with you as a customer. Through normal communication efforts, you get better prices and additional offers. Automatically, without the intervention of an employee. The system "likes" you (SLY). No more communication efforts with employee intervention, the system "doesn't like you".

• What is the Pizu?
Pizu is a kind of tax for pickers. This "tax" is only counted if you take a unit of the product.

Here you can find the most common questions and answers related to our products.

• What types of machining can be applied to the profiles?
Machining is only available in some profiles and only for the “Cutting” option tab: It can be applied to both sides of the profile: In the case of squared profiles, normally there are three machining available:
• M* Metric thread.

• D** : **mm diameter hole.

• D**V:** mm diameter vertically hole.

• You can combine D** in one side and D**V in the other side to get this result:

In the case of the non-squared profiles, the options are:
• 2xM*: Metric thread.

• D**: **mm diameter hole.

• 2xD**V:** mm diameter vertically hole.

D** holes are only used for the Quick Connectors.
Metric thread can be used to attach some accessories to the core of the profile using a Metric Screw The Metric thread holes have de following deep depending on the diameter:
All quick connector machinings available:
