Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Inaccurate cutting leading to oversized or undersized components.Always verify measurements with calibrated tools before cutting and consider material kerf for precise dimensions.
Failure to deburr edges, creating safety hazards and potential damage to seals.Thoroughly deburr all cut edges using files, deburring tools, or tumblers.

Common Applications

  • Pneumatic Manifold Blocks
  • Enclosures for Pneumatic Controls
  • Structural Support Components in Pneumatic Assemblies

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) during handling and fabrication.
