Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastic, leading to chipping or melting.Employ specialized router bits or laser cutting parameters optimized for polycarbonate to achieve clean, precise edges.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing localized stress and potential cracking.Utilize washers to distribute pressure and tighten fasteners to a snug, but not excessive, torque.

Common Applications

  • Custom pneumatic control panel guards
  • Enclosures for pneumatic actuators and cylinders
  • Machine guarding for automated pneumatic systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate coatings, as it can degrade the material.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that can etch or cloud the Polycarbonate surface.
