Tufnol CNC Machined

Tufnol CNC Machined Tufnol CNC Machined - CNC Milling Tufnol

Tufnol CNC Machined. A quality bit of machining from Sentinels Milling section. I thought it was a great example of what can be achieved, when you have the experience, CNC milling Tufnol type materials.

This particular part is destined for usage in the engineering electrical power sector.

It’s a nice piece of work which i thought was well worth sharing.CNC MIlled SRBF Tufnol

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 – A Huge Depth of Knowledge Engineering plastic parts

Especially relevant is that customers know Sentinel Plastics is a long standing, trusted Plastics Company. Since its inception in 1989, it has been machining and fabricating all types of industrial plastics. Whether your requirement is one off or high batch work, the capacity available does enable us to offer shorter lead times. The quick turnaround times combined with quotes, which are in the main supplied on the same day as requested, is one reason many customers constantly return to Sentinel for all their plastics companies machined and fabricated parts requirements.

Sentinel has trained many of its CNC Programming staff in house which gives a better focus and knowledge on the special requirements of each individual type of industrial plastics. The product of having long term staff base, results in a high depth of knowledge throughout the whole manufacturing process. Probably as a result of having a very low turnover of staff. Customers from the Conveyor Manufacture to the high tech world of underwater exploration use Sentinels skilled staff to gain benefits, including cost saving and problem solving during the design process.

Well-established Engineering Plastics Supplier

Also Sentinels Plastics precision machining service is supplied to UK companies and across the world. In addition our first rate facilities and constant striving for excellence, gives our customers confidence in the parts that we supply. Hence they have come back year after year, some for over 25 years. Most noteworthy as a well-established Engineering Plastics Supplier CNC machining and Plastic fabrication company based in Cradley Heath in the West Midlands. Sentinel Plastics Ltd has an already large customer base, which includes many long term blue chip customers.

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.
