Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using thinner gauge material for high-pressure pneumatic systems.Always select material thickness appropriate for the maximum operating pressure and anticipated mechanical loads of the pneumatic system.
Improper surface preparation before machining, leading to tool wear or inconsistent finishes.Ensure the sheet is clean and free of contaminants before any machining operations; consider a light milling pass to establish a clean surface.

Common Applications

  • Custom Pneumatic Manifolds
  • Valve Bodies and Housings
  • Pneumatic System Enclosures

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always adhere to safety protocols when machining aluminum, including proper ventilation and personal protective equipment.
  • Consider the effects of galvanic corrosion if this aluminum alloy will be in direct contact with dissimilar metals in a corrosive environment.
