Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard metalworking tools for cutting or drilling, leading to chipping and cracking.Employ specialized router bits, saw blades, and drill bits designed for polycarbonate, and maintain appropriate feed rates.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress concentrations and potential premature failure.Use washers and torque fasteners to the manufacturer's recommended specifications, or allow for slight expansion and contraction.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic Press Guards
  • Machine Vision Enclosures
  • Transparent Hydraulic Fluid Reservoirs

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without a protective coating, as it can degrade polycarbonate over time.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that can scratch or chemically attack the polycarbonate surface.
