The advantages of plastic machining
Plastic machining brings a multitude of benefits. The versatility of plastics is perhaps one of the most important advantages, as they can vary from flexible and strong to transparent. Compared to materials like metal or ceramic, plastic is often more cost-effective, with more diverse possibilities. Additionally, plastics are better suited to resist corrosion, making them ideal for humid or chemical environments. This combination of properties makes plastic machining an essential technology in numerous industries, including the food industry, pharmaceutical industry, petrochemical industry, graphic industry, or analytical industry.
Plastic machining
Within the world of plastic machining, plastic machining is a common term. Plastic machining is the process of machining plastics using tools such as turning machines or milling machines. Machining plastic is a highly precise process, requiring various tolerances and surface finishes to be achieved.
Plastic turning
One of the most common plastic machining techniques is plastic turning. During machining plastic in this manner, a certain workpiece rotates in a turning machine, gradually removing material using specific cutting tools. At ANKRO, we understand that plastic turning delivers a high level of precision and dimensional accuracy.
Plastic milling
The versatility and applicability of plastic milling make this machining technique prevalent in the machining of plastics. In this method, a milling machine is used to remove material from the workpiece, with the cutter rotating and moving along the workpiece to achieve the correct dimensions. At ANKRO, thanks to our machine park, we can mill plastic in 3, 4, and 5 axes.
Plastic assembly
At ANKRO, we also offer the option to assemble plastic. In some cases, plastic assembly can be a crucial step in the entire plastic machining process, where various components form a complete end product. Depending on the product specifications, assembly can take place using various techniques. Choosing the right assembly technique is crucial to achieving a good end product.
