Plastic Sheet Machined @ Sentinel Plastics Ltd

Plastic Sheet Bespoke Shaped (CNC Profiling)

Plastic Machining | Milling | Routing | Turning | Fabrication

Notably, for many, Sentinel is the place for all Plastic Sheet Bespoke Shaped (CNC profiling) to customer required specification. Primarily, through years of experience, almost all types of materials can be cnc machined. In addition, the ability to transform your design into a high quality finished component, is available at low cost, and with a quick turnaround. This capability is available through our high speed multi tool machines, having quick programme access with fast changing tooling.

Also, the variety of plastic sheets that can be profiled is vast. Although, each material requires its own special considerations when cutting. For example, HDPE will cut at high speeds with fairly simplistic tooling. Whereas, high specification insulation materials, such as Epoxy Glass and Delamt, require specialised tooling at controlled variable speeds. Importantly, the experience to handle this range of materials, has been gathered and retained over many years.

Plastic sheet routing

Most Types of Plastic Sheets are CNC Machined

Significantly, it is worth noting, the range of  size of plastic Sheets CNC Machined, can vary from 1mm thick upto 100mm thick. Also, each machine is capable of facilitating 3M x 2M panel sizes. Hence, the panels or shapes you require, would only be restricted by the manufacturers standard sizes available. Thus, the list below contains many, but not all, of the plastic sheets CNC machined. This takes place on any one of our 5 available routing tables.

Plastic Sheet Bespoke Profiling on CNC Routers

In addition to the above, many variants of the plastic materials exist. Notably, most of these are included in Sentinels range of materials machined. Importantly, if you require a high standard of finish, with accurate size cutting, +/- 0.2 can be achieved, our experience will provide these results.

Plastic Sheet Bespoke Shaped

Quick Quotes With Fast Turnaround

‘Plastic Sheet bespoke shaped’. This service is offered as it suits many applications within a large variety of industries, whether that is a bespoke single unit or a batch of thousands. It’s also worth noting, your enquiry will be quickly handled, using our state of the art database and production planning control. Hence, a quick and accurate quote, resulting in, fast responsive lead times. Finally, the Plastic Sheets CNC Machined are readily available through our network of materials suppliers and manufacturers.

‘Plastic Sheet bespoke shaped’ Large or Small

Its also worth noting, the plastic sheets CNC machined, can be as large as the sheet sizes available, or only a few cm’s in size. Invariably, the limitations are few on what can be achieved. Likewise, the expert programming, and material understanding, allows Sentinel to produce most requirements its customers request. Sentinels, five CNC routers, cut in what are called three axes or directions. The variety of bits and a computer program working in those three directions, makes the sky the limit. Only, the overall size of the machine’s bed and cutting range will determine the maximum workpiece size you can manipulate.

Polycarbonate Machining

Polycarbonate Machining

Plastic Machining | Milling | Routing | Turning | Fabrication

While watching our CNC Routing Machines today I realised Four of the Five were Polycarbonate machining ( Makrolon – Lexan ).

Ultimately, with its high transparency and smooth surface, Clear Polycarbonate Machining is an attractive material for a wide range of applications. Also, offering extreme impact resistance, even at temperatures down to -100°C. Unlike Acrylic, which requires heat to form, Polycarbonate sheets can be CNC Routed and cold-bent.

Notably, as a company, Sentinel Plastics has become synonymous with Polycarbonate machining and fabrication. Also, within Industry Polycarbonate is the most popular choice of plastic when it comes to a requirement of strength and ultimately safety. While in its sheet form it is extremely impact resistant. For interior applications up to 6 mm thickness Polycarbonate has a B1 fire protection for classification.

 

 Applications:

Especially relevant parts manufactured by Polycarbonate machining  are machine covers, Glazing for schools and factories, Warehouse doors. Consequently a popular material. Widely used for Industrial vehicles and Lamp covers. Where a high level of heat is generated, being highly fire-resistant, versions exist for the use in Switch cubicles, electrical equipment.
Other uses for Polycarbonate are Trade fair structures, Public buildings. Within Industry, the clear plastic of choice is Polycarbonate. Hence the popularity and  wide use as safety guards.

A UV coating can be applied to the surface of the smooth or textured polycarbonate sheets. Solid sheets retain their shine with no yellowing, nor change of color. The positive effect in applying a protective coating is that you are increasing the resistance to long-term weathering, which thus provides a long service life.

Polycarbonate Machined Parts Available in:

Transparent clear and white translucent. Also available in bronze, grey, green, blue.

Polycarbonate Cutting

Available grades:

1: Polycarbonate sheet / FG food grade
2: Solid polycarbonate sheet / FR flame retardant
3: polycarbonate sheet / NR non reflective
4: Outstanding through reinforced UV protection.
