Installation Procedure

1. Carefully measure and mark cut lines on the protective film of the polycarbonate sheet. 2. Utilize appropriate cutting tools (e.g., fine-tooth saw, laser cutter) to achieve precise dimensions, ensuring smooth edges. 3. Secure the fabricated polycarbonate component using compatible fasteners or adhesives, avoiding over-tightening to prevent stress cracking.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics, leading to chipping or melting.Employ carbide-tipped blades or specialized plastic cutting tools for a clean, precise cut.
Improper drilling or fastener placement causing stress concentration and potential cracking.Drill oversized holes slightly larger than the fastener diameter and use washers to distribute load evenly. Avoid overtightening.

Common Applications

  • Machine guarding and enclosures
