The demands of plastic fabricators include volume production consistency in part production smoothness of cut quality and high up time operation.
Cnc cutting plastic sheet.
That is why a lot of acrylic sheets are cooled down before machining.
In any kind of cnc acrylic cutting process keeping the temperature to a minimum is a must.
Delivering a clean polished cut edge.
Axyz leads the industry in cnc router systems for plastic fabrication application.
It makes for better chip removal and a lower starting temperature.
Able to raster engrave and vector cut in one cnc process the 2000 series is perfect for cutting a wide variety of materials.
By adding new equipment like the multicam 2000 emco has greatly increased their engineering services to include rapid prototyping and precision machining of practically any type of plastic material.
You can get a smooth finish when cutting this material however as with most plastics you do have to pay attention to a few factors as it requires a little more care than cutting wood.
Apart from that you can use some standard coolants however if they have oils make sure those don t react with pmma.
