Experienced Plastic Machining Turned Parts

Certainly, with most Engineering Plastics, while turning on a lathe, you can go extremely quickly with your feeds and speeds. Examples of some the materials are, Acetal, Nylon, PTFE, ABS, PVC and so on. Most noteworthy, in most but not all cases, the chips stay together, forming a ribbon and are easily removed from the Machine. Also, your tools will not dull or wear (practically not at all). Standard high-speed steel will be ample for turning every day Engineering Plastic. Whereas Insulation industrial Plastic require far more specialist care and techniques.

Next, it is worth noting, you do not need Machining fluid. That is to say, the surface finishes obtained, feel and look great. Also, high standards of tolerance and finish are achieved. Also, tools that cut steel or aluminium will generally work very well with most Plastic. So much so, in many cases, there are no special tooling requirements. Hence no added tool costs to pass on.

Experienced Plastic Machining Milled Parts

Similarly, for milling most Plastic, the above can be applied. Hence, the Engineering Plastic milled, are again, fast speeds and feeds, with some exceptions and individual preferences. Moreover, when milling Plastic, it can be less problematic than turning. Mainly due, to the lack of a ribbon, continuous swarf, being generated. Importantly, Sentinel has a large capacity milling capability. Also, with many Machines dedicated to specific materials to prevent cross contamination. Also, as with turning, no coolants are required. Indeed, the use of coolants can be detrimental to many insulation materials.

Examples of Capacity Available at Sentinel

Significantly, Sentinel have 15 No CNC Machines, which includes 2 Mazak VCN 530C with 5 No XYZ 1020 VMC. Also 3 Bridgeport’s VMC plus 2 ProTurn Lathes and a 2 Mazak Mill/Turn. These are just a few of the Machines that are available to produce Quality Plastic CNC Components.

Acrylic, Perspex, Plexiglass

Ultimately, these are all trade names. But with its high transparency and smooth surface, Clear Acrylic Machining is an attractive Material for a wide range of applications. Also, offering excellent transparency with a moderate impact resistance, it uses a wide and versatile. Also, Acrylic CNC Machining, which requires no lubricant, can be CNC Routed CNC Milled, CNC Turned and heat-bent.

Notably, as a company, Sentinel Plastics has become synonymous with Polycarbonate and Acrylic CNC Machining and Fabrication.

Moreover, being more cost-effective alternative to Polycarbonate, makes it a popular choice of Material in more general-purpose applications. Acrylic is highly suitable Material, when compared again to Polycarbonate, for hot line bending and welding.

Significantly, Acrylic can be CNC Routed to shape or cut to size. Certainly, most used in retail, but also widely used in commercial applications such as making finger guards and factory Machine guards. It is though, typically well known for elaborate display units, point of sale and secondary resistant glazing.

Applications Acrylic CNC Machining

Primarily, Acrylic CNC Machining is common practice in point of sale or display Manufacture. But also, Perspex (Acrylic) is widely used for Trade fair structures, Public buildings. Certainly, within Industry, the clear Plastics of choice are either Acrylic or Polycarbonate. Hence, the huge experience Sentinel has due to its popularity in quality CNC Machining Plastics CNC Machining Plastic Component Parts.

Similarly, Acrylic sheets can have Coatings applied to the surface. Most noteworthy, when compared to other clear Plastics, Solid Acrylic sheets retain their shine with no yellowing, nor change of colour. Although, one positive effect in applying a protective coating is that you are increasing the resistance to long-term weathering, which thus provides a long service

Acrylic CNC Machined Parts Available in:

Further, Acrylic is readily available in transparent clear and white translucent. Also, it is available in bronze, grey, green, blue and many other colours.
