CNC milling and CNC turning
Plastic
CNC Milling and turning (CNC machining) is our preferred method for the manufacture of advanced parts. Virtually all types
of plastics can be processed in this way.
We use CNC machining eksklusive for plastics. With 6 CNC milling machines, we have the capacity for
large batch production, parallel with the development of production methods and prototypes for our customers.

CNC machining
The biggest problem when CNC machining plastics is the tensions that inevitable
arises. Consideration should also be taken considering tolerances since the heat expansion and moisture absorption
is significantly higher than other materials.
Machining of plastics require unique tools and processes.
Tensions in plastic can result in
breaks, cracks or crumbs. Our CNC machines are optimized for plastics.
We do not process metal.

Machine parts
The Machinery industry buy the majority of plastics produced in our CNC department. It can be a simple
part such as a plate with a hole or advanced 3D prototypes. Many tasks also require that we combine
CNC machining with laser cutting, gluing or thermoforming to create complete solutions.
A increasing part of the CNC tasks involve direct development or optimization of existing solution for
weight and manufacturing cost.

For the electronics industry, we work within two areas. The mechanical parts inside the apparatus. Eg. holders,
spacers and slide rails. Often we use CNC turning to rapidly produce large quantities of parts, but
prototypes are also a significant proportion of the assigments.
The visible parts constitute the second area. Displays, front panels and opticals are often made of clear plastic (acrylic, PVC, PETG or polycarbonate).
Often with a subsequent polishing of the machined surfaces. But we produce parts where the cnc
machined surfaces are directly visible (eg the phone to the right).

Advertising, marketing and In-store
We use CNC milling to manufacture In-store, sale displays, front and illuminated signs. Milling of logos, letters and tracks for LEDs are tasks where CNC milling is useful.
In addition, we supplement with manual and semi-automatic machines to cheap and quickly
rounding shelf edges and polishing showcases.
Almost all such assigments is carried out in collaboration with advertising agencies and sign companies.

CNC turning and milling CNC with Induflex
For milling and turning of plastic there are not many machines that are specially made for the purpose.
The choice is therefore between machines for working metal or wood.
Metal machine provide a very robust machine that in many ways is "overkill" in relation to plastic. But there are no problems with accuracy and vibration.
Machines for milling / turning wood is lighter built and are in many cases, 'sufficient' for plastics processing.
Furthermore they are available with large working areas.
We use both types.
For the production of larger machine parts with high demands on tolerances we usually use the metal machines.
For easier milling and turning, such as thin plates with large areas, we use our machines designed for wood.
