Service for the plastics industry

Plastics are modern materials that are becoming increasingly important and are now indispensable in most industries. There are many different types of plastics that have different properties. However, they are characterized by certain advantages over other materials.

Plastics have a significantly lower density than other materials and can therefore be processed more easily and economically. This property makes them ideal for mass production, especially for the automotive industry. In addition, they are very resistant to external influences such as water and often also to chemicals, they are heat and sound insulating and have a high insulating capacity. For this reason, they are also increasingly used in electrical engineering and medical technology. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

 

Embossing, pressing and punching are used as shaping processes in a wide variety of fields for different purposes.

• CNC precision plastic parts
  The processing of plastics such as acrylic, plexiglass or GRP is done by modern workpiece machining CNC. CNC machines can mill very sharp and precise. This is important for plastics. If only blunt milling is used, it can result in unclean cut edges. With a sharp cutter, there is no such risk, so the plastic can be machined much more accurately. In addition, CNC machining falls under high-speed machining. This is also important for the machining of plastics, as a fast cutting speed also generates less heat, so that a more precise and clean result can also be achieved without melting.

• Femtolaser
  The use of femtolasers is a modern method for achieving particularly precise laser engraving and texturing. The ablated material is directly converted into plasma, which then hardly interacts thermally with the substrate material. This results in an exact and residue-free removal of the smallest amounts of material, so that there are no burrs. A major advantage of using the Fetmolaser is the wide range of materials that can be processed, including plastics. Cold processing allows plastics to be processed quickly, cleanly and cost-effectively, which is used in particular for prototyping.


• Plastic emblems
  In addition to emblems and plaques made of metal, LES GRAVEURS also produces those made of plastic. Emblems represent a high-quality inscription and decoration option and serve for individualization. In contrast to metal emblems, plastic emblems are, on the one hand, extremely resistant to external influences and, on the other hand, have a very light shape. This makes it easy to produce individually shaped emblems and badges.


• Silicone embossing tools
  During embossing, lettering, logos or specific motifs are engraved into a workpiece. We offer different variants of tool designs, which also include embossing tools made of silicone. Silicone embossing tools are often used for embossing plastics. Depending on the embossing application, silicone tools are designed in different hardnesses. To ensure a good embossing result, the embossing dies are engraved by our modern multi-axis CNC machines.
