Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using undersized or non-standard fasteners that compromise seal integrity.Always utilize fasteners specified for the pneumatic system's pressure rating and compatible with aluminum 6061.
Improper deburring of cut edges, leading to potential leaks or airflow restriction.Thoroughly deburr all cut edges to ensure smooth surfaces and optimal pneumatic flow.

Common Applications
