CNC Milling Plastics

Further, the term Milled Component Parts, or Milling Machining, are used to describe a Machining Parts process. So, simply put, Milling in Engineering is a method of producing Parts or Components on a Machine, via a cutter, with movement in various directions. Thus, blocks of Material, in this case Plastics, are placed on a Parts Machining table. Finally, Parts clamped to prevent movement, and a cutter removes Material to designated coordinates. An in-depth description can be found here.

 

Plastic Milling Experts

Importantly, Milling Plastics can differ greatly from the traditionally Milled metals and alloys. Certainly, Experience is key when working with the many different types of Plastics in today’s marketplace. Also, in traditional Milling coolants are commonly key to producing the required results. Noteworthy, when Milling Plastic Materials, coolants must be carefully introduced. Notably, they can be detrimental to the Parts functionality. For example, GPO or Polyester Glass type Materials can suffer from moisture ingress. Hence, with these Materials being used for Insulation in electrical systems, this could be catastrophic. Moreover, the processing of GPO must be without any coolant or cutting compounds. So, this is just one Material amongst many hundreds of types, and variants of types, of available Plastics. Finally, all of which require a particular skill set to Machine.

Engineering Plastic Machining

CNC Milling Parts

Plastic CNC Custom Parts. In short, this is the process of Milling Plastic block via numerically controlled systems. So, Online programming, on the Milling console, or offline programming, PC database programmed and then transferred to the Machine for execution. Again, when Machining Plastics, careful consideration must be taken. Certainly, the very same considerations previously discussed will come into play. Moreover, most today’s work is carried out on CNC Programmed Millers and Lathes. Most importantly, the Company has carefully chosen the high-Quality methods it now employs for Milled custom Parts.

Quality Part CNC Manufacturing

Certainly, whilst being able to offer an excellent reliable Service, built-up over many years. Notably, with individual staff members having over 30 years’ Experience in the field of Plastics Engineering. Importantly, it is essential to be able to back this up with a Quality system that ensures that customers are getting the Components they require, not only on time, but to a high-Quality standard and finish.

What is Phenolic?

Firstly, Phenolics are produced when laminates, made from layers of paper, cotton cloth or Glass fibre cloth, are placed into a resin or varnish. And then, strongly bonded together.

Next, to squash the layers together, the laminated contents of the press are heated up under a very high pressure. Thus, as this happens, the resin melts and becomes gluey, sticking the layers firmly together into one solid mass. Finally, whilst still under the heat and pressure, the resin then ‘cures’, that is, it undergoes a chemical change, becoming a hard, solid Material which can no longer be melted with heat.

 

Tufnol Phenolic Machining UK

Grades Available for Phenolic Machined Parts

Also, using different varieties of resin with various types of cloth or paper, many different grades of Industrial laminates can be produced.

The three main types are: -,
First off, Phenolic Machined Parts made from layers of paper – known as SRBP, or ‘synthetic resin bonded paper’.
Also, Phenolic Machined Parts grades made from layers of cotton cloth – known as SRBF, or ‘synthetic resin bonded fabric’
Finally, Epoxy Glass laminate, which is the most common, grades are made from layers of Glass fibre cloth.

Common Trade Names: Tufnol, Paxolin, Bakelite, Bakelaque, Garolite, Micarta, Pertinax, Pirtoid. Furthermore, specialist Phenolic laminates, such as low smoke and halogen free Materials are available. For example, EM42.

Firstly, the makeup of G10-FR4 Materials is an Epoxy Glass based Insulation Plastic. Laminates generally offer high mechanical strength and dimensional stability, are extremely durable, and maintain their properties wet or dry. Therefore, the result of this blend is a Material that offers excellent ark and track resistance.

Milling Phenolic Machined Parts

So, the commonly known G10 / FR4 are two of the most popular grades. Generally, G10-FR4 Glass cloth reinforced Epoxy natural is typically a yellowish to light green colour. Certainly, Epoxy resins are among the most versatile and widely used Plastics in the electronics field. Primarily, due to water absorption is virtually nil. Hence, rendering it an outstanding insulator.

As a result of being the most economic choice of G10-FR4 Material, it is also noteworthy for being a Material which can be easily Machined to Bespoke applications.

Some examples of what G10-FR4 Materials are widely used to Manufacture are Insulating supports, high voltage Insulation, bus bar supports and mounting panels in electrical apparatus are just some examples.

Based on the needs of its application it comes in several grades.

  • Acrylic  – Data Acrylic is a Plastic Material with outstanding optical clarity. Acrylic Sheet is easy to fabricate, bonds well with adhesives and solvents, and is easy to thermoform. Extremely popular for retail display. Easily cut, sawn, drilled, routed and bent. The better choice for scratch resistance but offering far less impact strength. The technical name is Poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), and it comes in Extruded or Cast forms. The price of Acrylic is cheaper than Polycarbonate and PETG.

Clear Plastic Guards
  • PVC has good hardness and mechanical properties, Good electrical insulating properties, Very high chemical & moisture resistance. Equally PVC has excellent forming characteristics, dimensional stability, bondable, self-extinguishing and importantly compared to others inexpensive. Easily cut, sawn, drilled, routed and bent. Not scratch resistant unless coated via a secondary opp. Also loses out against PETG and Polycarbonate on impact resistance. Technically known as Polyvinyl Chloride.

Transparent, Clear Plastic Guard Materials – Some Typical uses.

 

  1. PETG – Food guarding, its high level of chemical resistance lends it perfectly for use with foodstuffs and in the medical and pharmaceutical sectors.
  2. Polycarbonate – Is highly suited to high protection situations, interior and exterior. Machine guards, vehicle safety screens, Impact guards, Security windows.
  3. Acrylic (Perspex) – Well known for its display preferences. Photo framing, retail display, decorative lighting, lenses, low impact shields, signs and signage, trophies and awards, decorations and jewellery.
  4. PVC Is also commonly used for very similar instances to Acrylic but does not retain the same clarity over time. Signage, fume cabinets, Industrial applications, point of sale and finally poster covers.
PETG Fabrications

Plastic Fabricators – Fabricating PETG Guards and Covers.

Sentinel

Machine Guards are most commonly made from Polycarbonate, PETG, Acrylic or Clear PVC.

The close tolerance machinability, transparency and sheer toughness of Polycarbonate make it the ideal Material for Machine guards. Polycarbonate is available in both general purpose and FDA grades when food contact is a concern. Polycarbonate is also inherently self-extinguishing and can carry a V-0 flame test rating. PETG guards can also be FDA approved and when chemical resistance is a priority.

Clear is the dominant colour, but all the Materials listed above are also available in varying grades of smoke/grey/bronze shades if that is desired.
