Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Inadequate deburring of cut edges.Thoroughly deburr all edges after cutting and machining to prevent debris from entering the pneumatic system, which can cause valve damage or leaks.
Using incorrect machining parameters leading to excessive heat or tool wear.Employ appropriate cutting speeds, feed rates, and lubrication when machining to maintain material integrity and achieve desired surface finish without compromising hardness.

Common Applications

  • Pneumatic manifold fabrication
  • Valve plate and actuator housings
  • Heavy-duty pneumatic component mounting

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) to avoid cuts from sharp edges.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when cutting or machining to manage airborne particulates.
