Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracks.Use washers and avoid over-tightening bolts; hand-tighten followed by a quarter turn is often sufficient.
Using incorrect cutting tools, resulting in poor edge quality or delamination.Employ fine-toothed saw blades specifically designed for plastics, or utilize laser or waterjet cutting for precision.

Common Applications

  • Pneumatic Enclosure Fabrication
  • Machine Guarding for Pneumatic Systems
  • Sight Glasses and Protective Shields

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without protective coatings, as it can degrade material properties over time.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when fabricating or machining polycarbonate to avoid inhalation of fumes.
