Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a standard saw blade that can cause chipping or cracking during cutting.Employ a saw blade specifically designed for cutting plastics or polycarbonate, ensuring a fine tooth pitch and appropriate feed rate.
Applying excessive force during bending or forming, leading to stress marks or failure.Gently heat the polycarbonate to its forming temperature (refer to manufacturer's guidelines) before bending or forming to prevent internal stresses and ensure a clean radius.

Common Applications

  • Protective machine guards for pneumatic actuators and cylinders
  • Custom enclosures for pneumatic control panels
  • Sight glasses and inspection windows in pneumatic systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposure to strong solvents or chemicals that can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaning agents that can scratch the surface, compromising clarity and structural integrity.
