Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Improper cutting tool selection leading to excessive heat input and material deformation.Utilize cutting methods that minimize heat-affected zones, such as waterjet or plasma cutting with appropriate parameters, or abrasive cutting for cleaner results.
Failure to deburr edges, resulting in potential hazards during handling and assembly, and compromised sealing surfaces.Thoroughly deburr all cut edges with a file or deburring tool to ensure smooth surfaces and safe handling.

Common Applications

  • Pneumatic manifold blocks
  • Enclosures for pneumatic controls
  • Structural components for pneumatic machinery

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate safety glasses and gloves when handling sheet metal.
