Top Mechanical Plastic Machining Processes

Besides Metal material, Sibai produces a lot of CNC precision parts from plastic material.

 

Besides plastic injection moulding processing, the plastic cnc machining is an important method to produce plastic products or components.

 

CNC engineering plastic machining is one of sibai;s important service. Sibai provide custom plastic cnc machining with many kinds of material. The plastic material suitable for custom cnc plastic machining Sibai can provide includes POM, PVC, ABS, PTFE, Acrylic, Nylon, PEEK, etc.

 

Because plastic material is easy to deform in low temperature, we must set up right processing methods. What's more, we have to select suitable machining tools and cooling fluid, to avoid processing failure.

CNC Machining POM

CNC Machining PTFE

CNC Machining Nylon

CNC Machining PEEK

 

What Plastics Can Be CNC Machined?

POM

 

POM (the trade name Delrin) is the engineering thermoplastic with the highest machinability of plastic. POM is usually the best choice for CNC machining plastic parts, which requires high precision, high stiffness, low friction, excellent high temperature dimensional stability and very low water absorption.

 

01

PTFE (Teflon)

 

PTFE (common name, Teflon), is an engineering thermoplastic with excellent chemical and thermal resistance and the lowest coefficient of friction of any known solid material.  

 

Teflon is one of the few plastics that can withstand operating temperatures above 200℃ and is an excellent electrical insulator.

 

02

ABS

 

ABS is one of the most common thermoplastic materials with good mechanical properties, excellent impact strength, high heat resistance and good machinability. ABS has a low density and is ideal for lightweight applications. CNC machined ABS parts are often used as prototypes before injection molding for mass production.

 

03

PA

 

PA (polyamide, Nylon) is a thermoplastic often used in engineering applications because of its excellent mechanical properties, good impact strength, and high chemical and abrasion resistance. But Nylon absorbs water and moisture easily. The common grades is PA 6 and PA66.

 

04

PEEK

 

PEEK is a high-performance engineering thermoplastic with excellent mechanical properties, thermal stability over a very wide temperature range, and excellent resistance to most chemicals.

 

PEEK is often used to replace metal parts due to its high strength-to-weight ratio. Medical grades are also available, making PEEK suitable for biomedical applications as well.

Advantages of Sibai Mechanical Plastic Machining Processes

Sibai purchases plastic material from big brand, which ensures the quality of plastic material.

 

Sibai has near 20 years' CNC machining. Sibai has rich experience on various plastic cnc service. The tolerances for small measurement can control within +-0.02mm. Sibai has also 3D coordinate measuring machines to confirm the precision.

 

After long period after machining, the plastic parts still keep good shape, don't deform.

 

Sibai's plastic cnc machining service is fast and efficient.

Dongguan Sibai Metal Works Limited, established in 2006, located in Dongguan China, specializes in CNC machining and CNC Lathing. What’s more, in order to make more possibilities to meet the customers’ demands, we can also provide the processings of stamping, die castings, lost wax castings etc. The customized precision metal components Sibai made are mostly ordered by European and American industrial enterprises. The parts are generally used for the fields of laser generators, medical devices, instruments, fluid control, locking products, electronic products, illumination products, Camera housing, automation equipment, and so on.Currently our factory occupies the working area over 5,000㎡. We have an over-100-member team, which is professional on mechanical research, design and production. And we have over 100 CNC machines and other auxiliary machines. All the necessary inspection and quality control devices we have. Our factory has passed ISO 9001: 2015 quality system authentication. Our pursue is to serve and support our customer with strict and stable qualify. The enthusiasm on technique, the goal on perfect and refinements on our parts, as well as the spirit of research are always the keys we keep. We pursue not only precision, but also good surface appearance on every part. The in-depth production control has become a key point of plant management. In daily work, we do incoming inspection for all the purchased material. We keep doing daily routine measurement records for each step of productions. And we make final inspection reports for each item before delivery. All the working steps we pay careful attention, from material procurement, processing, cleaning to packaging and shipping. Not only quality, but the good delivery time is also important for us. We deeply know, fast and sure delivery bring customers with benefits. So every order, we control the delivery time. This is our another key performance index. What’s more, the value-added services, such as helping customer to redesign drawings, assembly, and sampling, etc, are always what we’d like to do.We prefer to have the long-term supply for the customers, to work with our customers side by side with our fast service, and to keep on the stable business. The long-term trust from our customers is the value we keep. And the appreciation from our customers is the reputation we obtain. https://www.sibaicnc.com/
