Installation Procedure

1. Cut the Polycarbonate sheet to the required dimensions using a high-speed saw with a fine-tooth blade, ensuring proper coolant application. 2. Drill mounting holes using a sharp drill bit designed for plastics, maintaining a slow to moderate speed and applying minimal pressure. 3. Secure the sheet using appropriate fasteners, ensuring even distribution of load to prevent stress concentration and potential cracking.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard metalworking drill bits without proper technique.Employ drill bits specifically designed for plastics, or grind standard bits to a shallower point angle and use a slow speed with lubrication.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracks.Use washers to distribute the load and tighten fasteners only until snug, avoiding excessive force. Consider using threaded inserts for repeated assembly.

Common Applications

  • Pneumatic cylinder guards
  • Sight glasses for pneumatic systems
  • Enclosures for control panels
  • Machine guards for automated equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid aggressive cleaning agents containing solvents, as they can cause crazing or degradation of the Polycarbonate surface.
  • Ensure proper ventilation during fabrication to manage dust and fumes; always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).
