Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools, leading to burrs and imprecise edges.Employ sharp, high-quality metal cutting tools such as abrasive saws, band saws, or waterjets specifically designed for aluminum.
Inadequate post-machining cleaning, causing contamination in hydraulic systems.Thoroughly clean all machined surfaces with a non-residue solvent to remove machining fluids and particulate matter before assembly.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic Manifolds
  • Pump Housings
  • Cylinder Components
  • Structural Support Plates

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate safety gear, including eye protection and gloves, when handling and machining aluminum sheets.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when machining to avoid inhaling aluminum dust.
