Installation Procedure

1. Prepare the fabrication area, ensuring proper ventilation and safety equipment. 2. Accurately measure and mark cut lines on the aluminum sheet. 3. Utilize appropriate cutting tools (e.g., band saw, abrasive cut-off wheel) with coolant to maintain material integrity and prevent overheating. 4. Deburr all cut edges to remove sharp projections and ensure smooth surfaces.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools leading to material deformation or excessive heat buildup.Employ tools specifically designed for aluminum cutting, and always use a lubricant or coolant to manage heat.
Failing to properly deburr cut edges, creating safety hazards and compromising subsequent joining processes.Thoroughly deburr all cut edges using a file, deburring tool, or chamfering bit.

Common Applications
