Abs plastic blank for milling. Plastic cutting. What is the purpose of plastic milling?
Plastic is a common demanded material that has a low cost and is easy to process. It is also convenient to operate, has positive technical specifications. Products made of plastic are currently present almost everywhere, in many areas of human life. These are promotional products, window profiles, interior elements, household items, etc. Plastic is especially actively used in the industry engaged in the production of promotional products. For crafting items outdoor advertising needed plastic milling, which is performed both manually and with the help of special equipment.
Of course, in order to quickly produce high-quality advertising objects made of plastic, it is preferable to use modern milling machines. A service like plastic milling in Moscow, offer many companies, but not every one of them works responsibly, and the prices are often too high. Therefore, if you need a quality or ABS plastic cutting, it is advisable to contact reliable company with a good reputation. This is our company, Sign System, which provides plastic cutting services on high level at affordable, reasonable prices.
Application of modern CNC milling for cutting plastic materials makes it possible to give blanks the required configuration, apply inscriptions, images, drill holes, form protrusions, creating relief. Which cnc milling plastic better fit? On equipment of this type, it is possible to process plastic of any kind, as it has a number of advantages and advantages. There are a number of plastic materials, such as polyamide or polypropylene, that are more difficult to process. Here, an accurate, correct selection and installation of milling equipment settings is necessary: the speed of the cutter, the type of milling, etc. Our specialists are able to cope even with challenging tasks because they have experience, skills and abilities. We process quality different kinds plastic, and the price for our services is lower than in many other companies.
Also a very popular service is milling on plastic facades, it is also provided by our company. Modern milling machines that we have give us the opportunity to create three-dimensional images, apply ledges and grooves, so that later we can mount profileless structures. No deposits remain on the parts, there are no traces of melting either, the parts do not deform and do not change color on cut edges. Also possible laser cutting of plastic, in some cases, but for plastic it is not used so often. We are not limited to plastic milling to create only advertising objects, we process plastic to create interior details, household items, etc.
If you are interested in the most favorable plastic milling price in our company is inexpensive, and orders are executed promptly, as soon as possible. Processing plastic on equipment equipped with CNC has a number of advantages and disadvantages. Firstly, this is the almost perfect accuracy with which the manufacture of parts is performed. Secondly, it is a higher processing speed, which makes it possible to manufacture a large number orders in short time. This also affects the price, so with such milling it is much lower. Also here it turns out more high-quality processing ends, their surface is smooth and even, which cannot be achieved by manual processing.
High-quality processing of plastic materials is possible on our equipment various types used both in the advertising business and in industry, and for interior design. As mentioned above, plastic is in great demand, and for the advertising business it is a real find, giving a lot of opportunities. If necessary, our designers will develop a model of a plastic product, offer fresh, original solutions for your advertising project. Sign System is always a reliable, responsible and profitable partner for you!
Milling of products from industrial plastics is an excellent technology for single-piece and small-scale production. Milling allows for high dimensional accuracy and surface quality, as well as the use of most industrial plastics. If you are faced with a similar task, then it remains to decide on the model of the machine for such tasks. With this, we were approached by a company engaged in the production of body parts from ABS. We have proposed the top model from the Roland line, MDX-540, because it has a fairly large working area and high performance.
For the test, such a part was chosen, and we started manufacturing, simultaneously filming all the steps of milling. To begin with, it was necessary to determine the processing technology. In fact, the technology for manufacturing such parts is quite simple, you need to first do a rough, then finish for one side, then turn it over, and do the same for the reverse.
To auto-flip would require a swivel axle, and the model would also need to place supports to hold the model upside down. And if the presence of supports in this case would not be a problem (they can be easily removed manually), then it was decided to refuse the rotary axis in order to meet the budget allocated for the purchase of equipment. So, it was decided to make a test part on a Roland MDX-540 with a manual flip.
On my own ABS plastic quite even and smooth, so it was decided to fix the workpiece on the table by the most in a simple way- using double-sided tape.
Since the body part is not very large for roughing, a face mill with a diameter of 6 mm was chosen ( cutters with a shank up to 10mm can be mounted on the MDX-540). After roughing was completed, the end mill was changed to a 3mm ball nose cutter ( spherical was chosen to provide a high surface quality, and a diameter of 3mm to provide the required rounding radii in the corners).
Before removing the part from the machine, it was necessary to make a small revision of the elements that turned out to be too small for a cutter with a diameter of 3mm. With a face mill with a diameter of 3 mm, grooves were made on the inclined part, and mounting holes. 
The part can now be removed from the machine. In order to position the part during the flip, you can use a temporary jig. To make it, we simply fix a piece of plastic on the table and mill a recess along the contour of the part. 
Then it will be possible to simply insert a part into it, the coordinate systems of the machine and the part will coincide, and it will be held simply by friction. This fastening method is great if you need to mill up to 5-10 products, then the plastic jig will break and you will have to redo it. But this fastening method is also good for large series, you just need to add a small screw fastening to it ( for example, as was done in the vial cap test).
The processing of the front side as a whole repeated the processing of the inner one, first layer-by-layer roughing was done with a face cutter with a diameter of 6 mm, then the cutter was changed to a spherical cutter with a diameter of 3 mm and finished. And before taking off ready product from the machine, with a 1.5mm end mill, they made another small refinement of the plane on which the stiffeners and mounting holes are located. This was necessary to ensure a rounding radius at the corners of the ribs, as well as to remove a small rounding radius between the mounting plane and the side walls. Reworking is required because due to the geometry of the cutters there is a minimum raw area, only a few tenths of a millimeter (roughing with a face mill leaves a small allowance, and finishing
