Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools that cause excessive heat and melting.Employ high-speed cutting tools with appropriate cooling (air or liquid) to maintain material integrity and prevent edge degradation.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracks.Use a torque wrench and distribute fastener load evenly across the sheet to avoid localized pressure points.

Common Applications

  • Pneumatic machine guarding
  • Pneumatic system enclosures
  • Sight glasses for pneumatic cylinders

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate coatings, as it can lead to yellowing and embrittlement.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can scratch or degrade the polycarbonate surface.
