Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drill bits without proper cooling, leading to melting and chipping.Employ specialized polycarbonate drill bits and utilize a slow, consistent feed rate with appropriate coolant or air blast.
Over-tightening fasteners, inducing stress concentrations that can cause cracks.Use washers and tighten fasteners incrementally to a snug fit, allowing for thermal expansion.

Common Applications

  • Pneumatic system enclosures
  • Machine guarding for pneumatic equipment
  • Custom fabricated pneumatic component housings

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation unless specified UV-stabilized grade.
