The Role of Using Different Machines To Process Plastics

cnc plastic

Compared with metal, plastic can generally increase the feed rate and reduce the wear of the machine and the cutting head. However, certain plastics are still difficult to process. When you remove the material, they may melt, chip or go out of tolerance.

Acetal, polyetheretherketone and polyvinyl chloride plastic materials have excellent mechanical processing characteristics, and provide good dimensional stability while also having resistance to melting and chipping.

CNC Mills-These machines are usually used when you need to create a flat part.It works by holdting the plastic material stationar while the spindle rotates with the tools along three axes to create the shape, it was programmed to make.

CNC Lathes-When you need to make a plastic cylindrical part, you should use a CNC lathe.This allows you to create curved surfaces that you would never be able to make on a manual lathe.
These machines work by spinning the material in the chunk of the lathe while a tool is moved in two axes to create your desired shape.

CNC Grinders-Typically used for creatig surface fishes of high quality, CNC grinders work by moving a grinding wheel into the plastic .It's worth noting that you should use these machines only for hardened plastic.

CNC Drills- Similar to CNC mills, the only difference between these two machines is that drlls are designed to cut along one axis only.Namely, the drill moves down the Z-axis.
