Installation Procedure

1. Measure and mark precise cut lines on the Aluminum 6061 sheet based on design specifications. 2. Utilize appropriate cutting tools (e.g., shear, plasma cutter, or abrasive saw) for clean, accurate cuts. 3. Deburr all cut edges to remove sharp points and ensure smooth surfaces for subsequent fabrication steps.
