Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using undersized fasteners for structural attachments.Always select fasteners with adequate shear and tensile strength, compatible with aluminum 6061, to ensure secure and durable connections.
Improper welding techniques leading to reduced strength.Utilize appropriate welding procedures for 6061-T6 (e.g., TIG or MIG with ER5356 filler) and ensure proper pre- and post-weld heat treatment if required for critical applications.

Common Applications

  • Custom Conveyor Components
  • Workstation Augmentations
  • Protective Guarding

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle edges with caution to prevent cuts.
