Plastic Sheet Bespoke Shaped

Plastic Sheet Bespoke Shaped (Profiling)

Firstly, Sentinel is, ‘the’ place to go for Plastic Sheet Bespoke Shaped (profiling) to customer 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. Most importantly, our high speed multi tool machines have quick programme access with fast changing tooling.

Secondly, the variety of plastic sheets that can be profiled is vast. However, 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. Ultimately, the experience to handle this range of materials, has been gathered over many years.

The Plastic Sheets CNC Machined

Significantly, it is worth noting, the plastic Sheets CNC Machined can range from 1mm thick upto 100mm thick. Overall, 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. So, the list below contains all the plastic sheets CNC machined on any one of our 5 available routing tables.

Plastic Sheet bespoke profiling.

In addition, to the above, many variants of the above materials exist. Most noteworthy, all of these are included in Sentinels range of materials machined. Importantly, if you require a high standard of finish, or accurate size cutting, +/- 0.25 can be achieved, only our experience will provide these results.

Quick Quotes With Fast Turnaround

Plastic Sheet bespoke shaped can be offered to suit any application within a large variety of industries, whether a bespoke single unit or a batch of thousands is required. Please note, your enquiry can 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

Most noteworthy, the plastic sheets CNC machined, can be as large as the sheet available, or only a few cm’s in size. Utmost, the limitations are few on what can be achieved. Likewise, with 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, the sky’s the limit. Only, the overall size of the machine’s bed and cutting range will determine the maximum workpiece size you can manipulate.

G10 – FR4 Machining – Epoxy Glass Laminates

G10-FR4 Machining

Go To Plastic Machining. Or Plastic Fabrication.

Firstly, the make up of G10-FR4 materials are 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

The commonly known G10-FR4 are the most popular grades. G10-FR4 glass cloth reinforced epoxy natural is typically a yellowish to light green color. Epoxy resins are among the most versatile and widely used plastics in the electronics field, primarily because water absorption is virtually nil, 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 particular application it comes in several grades.

So there are many advantages to using G10-FR4 Machining Materials. Most of all having high structural strength but also excellent Electrically Insulating properties.

Turning

Most noteworthy, raw materials are available in standard sheets & rod sizes.

Finally a couple of important factors. Firstly Sheet thickness ranges from 0.8mm to 50mm.

Sentinel Plastic Engineering Only Supplies Bespoke Parts

All parts manufactured by Sentinel Plastics Ltd are customer specific bespoke plastic cutting parts. Either working from Prototypes, drawings, making a One off or hundreds of parts. Sentinel Plastics has flexibility to meet most requirements.

As well, the material is nearly immune to shrinkage, holding its form factor and dimensional stability at temperatures as high as 285° F. This property makes it ideal for use in electronic equipment with components that generate excessive heat. Should it combust at higher temperatures, the bromine added during the manufacturing process renders it self-extinguishing, another important factor for making its use in aerospace engineering so prominent.

Engineering plastics are a group of plastic materials that have better mechanical and/or thermal properties than the more widely used commodity plastics (such as polystyrene, PVC, polypropylene and polyethylene). plastic machined parts.

A little more on Engineering Plastics

The term usually refers to thermoplastic materials rather than thermosetting ones. Examples of engineering plastics include acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), used for car bumpers, dashboard trim and Lego bricks; polycarbonates, used in motorcycle helmets; and polyamides (nylons), used for skis and ski boots.

Engineering plastics have gradually replaced traditional engineering materials such as wood or metal in many applications. Besides equalling or surpassing them in weight/strength and other properties. Engineering plastics are much easier to manufacture, especially in complicated shapes.
