Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drilling bits without proper chip evacuation, leading to heat buildup and potential cracking.Employ specialized polycarbonate drill bits with adequate cooling and chip clearance.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing localized stress and potential fracture lines.Use hand-tightening followed by a quarter-turn, and incorporate washers to distribute load evenly.

Common Applications

  • Pneumatic cylinder guards
  • Enclosures for pneumatic control panels
  • Sight glasses for pneumatic reservoirs

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without protective coatings, which can degrade material properties.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when working with polycarbonate to avoid inhalation of dust particles.
