Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using undersized fasteners for pneumatic component mounting.Always select fasteners that are appropriately sized and rated for the pressure and operational forces of the pneumatic system.
Failing to deburr edges after cutting, creating potential for leaks or component damage.Thoroughly deburr all cut edges to ensure smooth surfaces and prevent damage to seals or pneumatic tubing.

Common Applications

  • Custom pneumatic manifold fabrication
  • Structural supports for pneumatic actuators
  • Protective enclosures for pneumatic controls

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure proper ventilation when machining or welding aluminum alloys.
  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling and fabricating metal sheets.
