Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools that can cause chipping or melting.Employ tools specifically designed for cutting polycarbonate, such as a laser cutter or a fine-tooth carbide-tipped saw blade, and maintain proper feed rates to prevent heat buildup.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracks.Use washers and avoid overtightening screws or bolts. If necessary, drill oversized holes or use slotted holes to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction.

Common Applications

  • Pneumatic Enclosure Fabrication
  • Machine Guarding for Pneumatic Systems
  • Sight Glasses and Inspection Windows

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate coatings, as it can degrade polycarbonate over time.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when machining polycarbonate to dissipate heat and prevent material deformation.
