Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a saw blade with too few teeth, causing chipping or melting.Employ a saw blade specifically designed for cutting plastics, featuring a high tooth count and appropriate rake angle.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracks in the polycarbonate.Use washers and avoid overtightening screws; allow for slight expansion and contraction of the material.

Common Applications

  • Pneumatic Control Panel Enclosures
  • Machine Guarding for Automated Systems
  • Transparent Covers for Pneumatic Actuators

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation unless specifically treated, as it can degrade the material over time.
  • Ensure proper ventilation during cutting and machining to dissipate heat and prevent material deformation.
