We turn your machine parts in plastics

 

By turning plastic, we can produce custom blanks, working from STEP files and drawings -

exactly according to your requirements. 

 

Our CNC turning lathes allow us to make various machine components such as toothed wheels, flanges, rolls and drive arms.

 

Our machining workshop has capacity for both small and large production, as well as prototype production.

Questions and answers about CNC turning

How large a blank can be turned?

We turn blanks in a wide range of sizes from a few centimetres, to several metres. Contact us for more information about dimensions.

What materials can be turned?

We turn blanks in various types of plastic like acrylic (PMMA), PEHD, POM, PEEK and many more.

Tensions in plastics by turning

The greatest challenge in machining plastic is tension, which inevitably arises in the material.

 

To avoid this, tolerances must take account of expansion factors in the structure as well as water absorption. If this is not properly computed, the tensions make the plastic burst, crack or crumble.

 

When you order a plastic product from us, we assist you in the construction and choice of material, so that the end product will live up to your expectations.

 

We have great experience processing plastics and avoiding or minimizing these tensions, making sure you are in good hands when ordering turned plastic components from us.
