MECHANICAL PROCESSING OF PLASTIC MATERIALS

Precision mechanics is a sector that, by its very nature, is extremely fluid in development, thanks to the meeting between innovation - linked to two strands with cutting-edge instrumentation - and high professionalism of its technicians, They can supervise the long process of processing, from receiving the project to drawing a technical drawing and finally perfecting the component.
Mechanical parts are an absolute value sector in modern industry, since precision mechanics requires mastery of the different software available for design and drawing, In addition to a deep knowledge of the materials that can be used to create the components. These include plastics, the use of which undoubtedly offers a wide range of opportunities and benefits.

The sectors in which the platica component is most appropriate

It can be said that the use of plastic components is particularly interesting in those sectors which require a favourable relationship between strength and weight values. However, the mechanical processing of plastic materials can cover the most different fields, from chemical and packaging, through food and automotive.
Turning can be used to create components of any shape, with the highest degree of precision and of any size. CNC machines (computer numerical control machines) are used to create even very complex parts.

Techniques and equipment for the creation of plastic components

The processing of plastic components is similar to that used for metal components, but there are naturally differences due to the different nature of the starting materials. The choice between plastic and metal is not trivial, and must be made with the support of technicians. For example, if the component is intended to be used in long duty cycles and must withstand a significant stress, it will tend towards metal. Plastic materials, in fact, at lower costs, have a higher wear rate but have better flexibility.
Not all the processes that can be used for metal can be used with plastic, although it is good to point out that today, thanks to the presence of technically advanced polymers, High-intensity production cycles can also be started with plastics.
Essential, for the entire production process, is to ensure that the component produced will integrate perfectly in the context for which it is required, thus operating in the best way. The optimization phase is therefore crucial, and is placed at the center of continuous comparisons: technical assistance, both in the creative phase and evaluation of geometries, assembly and application, It is precisely to ensure that the installation is carried out in the most appropriate manner.
