Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastic, leading to chipping or melting.Employ specialized saw blades with appropriate tooth geometry and feed rate for polycarbonate, or utilize laser cutting for precise, clean edges.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress cracks or deformation in the polycarbonate.Utilize properly sized clearance holes and consider using captive fasteners or washers to distribute load evenly, avoiding overtightening.

Common Applications

  • Pneumatic Enclosures and Housings
  • Machine Guarding for Pneumatic Systems
  • Transparent Sight Glasses and Covers

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid contact with strong solvents and abrasive cleaners, which can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Ensure proper ventilation during fabrication processes to avoid inhaling dust or fumes.
