More Machine Uptime Through New Developments in Advanced Machinable Plastics

ON DEMAND NOW!

Engineers and designers are faced with the constant challenge of increasing uptime and reliability – while improving the performance of mechanical systems.  This is no easy task, given the increasing pressure reduce costs and decrease the amount of time spent on developing new technologies.

New, machinable advanced plastic materials can help you reduce weight, eliminate costly and complex lubrication systems and increase the performance of your design. Newer, more cost-effective materials might fit into designs where before only an exotic polymer might have done the job.

These ideas--and more--will be discussed in a MACHINE DESIGN webinar sponsored by Quadrant.  Our speakers will provide an update on new materials, selection criteria and a few case histories to show how these new ideas have worked for other designers.

These new materials have found success in Aerospace, Industrial Process & Production, Food Processing & Packaging, Chemical Processing, Life Science, and Semiconductor/Electronics Manufacturing Equipment.

We will share:

• A brief overview of how to select materials based on desired performance and application environment.
• The simple design modifications needed to allow plastics to excel, where metals or traditional materials were previously used.
• Thoughts on how your design could use newer, more cost-effective advanced materials.
• Machining tips on converting Quadrant machining stock into finished parts.
