Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using inappropriate cutting tools, leading to cracks or delamination.Employ fine-tooth carbide blades designed for plastics and maintain a consistent feed rate during cutting.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress cracks in the polycarbonate.Utilize washers and do not exceed the recommended torque specifications for plastic fastening.

Common Applications

  • Pneumatic cylinder guards
  • Transparent pneumatic control panel covers
  • Sight glasses for pneumatic reservoirs

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposure to strong alkalis or chlorinated hydrocarbons, which can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Ensure adequate ventilation when fabricating to prevent the buildup of potentially harmful fumes.
