Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools that can cause chipping or melting.Utilize high-speed steel or carbide-tipped blades specifically designed for plastics, or a laser cutter for precise, clean edges.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracks.Employ washers and avoid overtightening. Consider using self-tapping screws with pilot holes, or threaded inserts for repeated assembly.

Common Applications

  • Pneumatic machine guards and enclosures
  • Sight glasses for pneumatic cylinders and reservoirs
  • Protective covers for control valves and actuators

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to strong alkaline cleaners or specific solvents which may degrade polycarbonate.
  • Ensure proper ventilation during fabrication processes to manage fumes from cutting or heating.
