Plastic machining has a different set of critical factors to achieve consistent results. Do your suppliers provide what it takes?
- Controlled machining temperatures of 68-72F?
(just 10F higher machining temperaturs is up to .010 thermal growth) - Proprietary technique to achieve flat datum surfaces from uneven material.
- Vacuum hold-down systems in CNC routers, mills and lathes
- Plastic specific tooling for superior finish and faster speeds
- High spindle speeds of 20,000 – 22,000 on mills and routers to shorter cycle times & improve finish
- On site engineering company (Foresight Processing, LLC.)
specializes on plastic chemical & mechanical equipment applications - Automated plastic annealing ovens that relieve material stresses and allow superior dimensional stability and tighter tolerances
