## 5. Engineering Risks & FAQ
- **Caution**: 
- **Caution**: 
- **Caution**: 

### Q: What materials are available for Track Beams in machinery manufacturing?
**A**: Track Beams are manufactured using Structural Steel (such as S355JR grade) for high-load applications or Aluminum Alloy for corrosion resistance and lighter weight requirements in industrial settings.

### Q: What components are included in a standard Track Beam BOM?
**A**: A standard Bill of Materials includes the Track Beam itself, End Stops to prevent equipment overtravel, and Mounting Brackets for secure installation to overhead structures.

### Q: How does a Track Beam function in overhead track systems?
**A**: The Track Beam serves as the primary structural support, providing both a mounting surface for attachment and a precise guidance path that ensures smooth, controlled movement of equipment along the track system.
