5-Axis Milling Engineering Plastics

Modern industry environments increasingly demand engineering plastics. They offer a high degree of mechanical strength and rigidity, while wear and tear is reduced to a minimum. Engineering plastics show many excellent characteristics, such as high heat resistance, good electric insulation, and outstanding resistance to high-energy radiation and chemical influences. What separates them from high-performance plastics is a slightly lower resistance to temperature and chemicals.
 
By using latest 5-axis milling systems, we are able to offer very efficient, double-sided processing. Furthermore, these systems enable us to produce any freeform surface whatsoever, so that even more constructive possibilities are feasible.

Thermoplastic and thermosetting materials need to be tempered properly before, during, and after the production process, in order that all tolerances can be taken into account in dependence to the respective coefficient of thermal expansion. Heat compensated machine tools and temperature-controlled storage and production rooms are necessary to meet these requirements.
 
Quality assurance of your components is continuously happening throughout the entire manufacturing process and the records are stored in our ERP system “KISS”.
So, if you are looking for a service provider you can rely on at any time, we would be more than happy to process your request.
