Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics, leading to chipping or melting.Employ sharp, specialized cutting tools for Polycarbonate, such as carbide-tipped blades, and maintain appropriate feed rates and speeds to prevent heat buildup.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing localized stress and potential cracking.Utilize washers and avoid excessive torque when fastening Polycarbonate components. Consider using expansion-controlled fasteners where appropriate.

Common Applications

  • Machine guards for pneumatic equipment
  • Sight glasses and inspection windows
  • Housings for pneumatic control panels
  • Custom enclosures for air cylinders and valves

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate coatings, as it can degrade the material over time.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when machining Polycarbonate to manage dust and potential fumes.
