Engineering plastics: precision machining for specific applications
Machining PEEK or PTFE without causing distortion, heat build-up or residual stresses is a job for specialists. We fine-tune our machining strategies with surgical precision to guarantee strict dimensional stability for your engineering polymers, from prototype to series production.
POM, PEEK, PTFE and PA6 offer high-performance alternatives to metals in many industrial environments.
Properties of engineering plastics
Engineering plastics stand out for functional properties suited to specific uses:
- Low coefficient of friction.
- Good chemical resistance.
- Electrical insulation.
- Low density.
- Good dimensional stability depending on the grade.
Depending on the material chosen, these characteristics help optimise weight, resistance to aggressive environments or the behaviour of moving parts.
Our industrial expertise in engineering plastics
Our industrial organisation allows us to handle single parts as well as series production.
Machining engineering plastics requires precise adjustment of parameters to avoid distortion, heat build-up or surface finish defects.
ARCOM Industrie defines machining strategies suited to each polymer: control of cutting speeds, thermal management, tolerance control and dimensional stability.
Materials we machine
ARCOM Industrie machines plastic parts in a range of materials, including:
- POM
- PEEK
- PTFE
- PA6
Each material is selected according to the mechanical, thermal or chemical constraints of the project.
Industry applications of engineering plastics
Our precision machining capabilities for engineering plastics serve the following industries in particular:
Medical
PEEK components and non-metallic technical parts for medical devices.
Industry
Technical parts for industrial equipment.
Electronics
Insulating and non-conductive parts.
Quality and inspection of bar-turned engineering plastic parts
Manufacturing engineering plastic parts calls for particular attention to dimensional stability and the expected functional characteristics.
ARCOM Industrie relies on in-house metrology equipment to verify dimensional compliance and the suitability of parts for integration constraints. Material and operation traceability is built into our quality organisation, certified to ISO 9001, ISO 13485, ISO 14001 and EN 9100.
The inspections carried out guarantee consistency between the chosen material and the expected in-service performance.
Every production run is therefore governed by a structured system that guarantees repeatability, reliability and industrial control.
