PRECISION PLASTIC TURNING

TURNING PLASTICS FROM CONCEPT TO REALITY

Turning Plastics into Precision Parts

Many plastic manufacturers and fabricators offer plastic turning services, yet many of those same ones also work with metal and other materials that could corrupt the plastic project you hope to complete. In our plastics-only facilities, our multi-axis CNC lathes produce tight tolerance, precision finish components complete right from the machine. We have 30K+ ft² of factory floor that holds 2-axis, 5-axis, and 7-axis machines for custom components that need a cylindrical or round shape and smooth surfaces. With these machines, we embrace the challenge of turning difficult-to-machine parts that must meet specs perfectly.

Plastic Lathe Micromachining

We specialize in micromachining and micro-plastics manufacturing. We can work with tolerances as tight as ± 0.0005 in (0.0127 mm) or better for those tiny parts like those in semiconductors.

Also, to ensure that the qualities of your chosen high performance plastics lose no structural integrity, our customers can count on us for post annealed parts. This gives components more stability and durability after initial manufacturing. We adapt our CNC machining for turned components that require post anneal for stress relief, increased strength, and improved electrical qualities.

OUR PLASTIC TURNING CAPABILITIES

FINISHES & TOLERANCES

We produce superior finishes and extremely close tolerances. We can produce lathe components with tolerances to ± 0.0005 in (0.0127 mm), given an appropriate material choice and part size.

CHALLENGING CONFIGURATIONS

We manage difficult configurations with proprietary stress relieving and specialized tooling. We focus on polyolefin lathe work, allowing us to hold close tolerances with a superior, burr-free finish.

OPTICALLY CLEAR TURNING

Using cutting-edge techniques, we can develop lathe parts for optical applications directly from the machine tool. Our plastic parts are always created with low stress with no post machining polishing required.

EXPERIENCE TURNED EXPERTISE

With decades of experience, we have turned nearly every type of plastic available in stock form. We have produced thousands of lathe plastic parts in a multitude of configurations. We apply this deep experience to the customer’s designs, providing support from design to shipment.
