Plastics Industry
Quality criteria for plastic machining
Due to the variety of chemical compounds, material combinations and operating conditions involved in machining plastics, this requires special tool concepts designed for the application and the specific machine used.
Finish cutting
- Cutting surfaces that do not require reworking
Cutting surfaces not subjected to thermal loads
- Heat needs to be dissipated via the chips
- No adhesion
Tear-free edges
- No fractures on the trailing edge
Customised tooth shape and tooth number
- Saw blade design
- Machine equipment is important for ensuring good cutting results
Bombastic for plastic machining
Applications involving machining thermoplastics such as PC and PMMA are where Bombastic can be used to its full potential. Tools used for plastic machining need to meet
- Plastic is extremely sensitive to heat and therefore tends to adhere to tools
- Most individual plastic panels are extremely thin
- The material is extremely difficult to machine and highly abrasive
