Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools without proper lubrication, leading to burrs and material deformation.Employ high-speed steel or carbide cutting tools with adequate coolant lubrication for clean, precise cuts.
Not accounting for thermal expansion during fabrication or operation.Design components with slight clearances to accommodate potential expansion and contraction due to temperature fluctuations.

Common Applications

  • Pneumatic manifold construction
  • Custom valve bodies and actuators
  • Enclosures for pneumatic controls

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) during fabrication.
  • Ensure compatibility of surrounding materials in the pneumatic system to prevent galvanic corrosion.
