What are Plastic Thermoformed Parts used in Mechanical Engineering?
Plastic parts used in mechanical engineering include thermoformed components such as machine housings, machine covers, CNC protective covers, trays, and machine packaging. They are lightweight and offer design flexibility, while also being robust enough for industrial use.
Top Applications for Plastic Parts in Mechanical Engineering
Prototypes & Small Batches
Prototype tools for machine housings and machine packaging can be produced quickly to meet small-volume requirements.
Automation Techniques
Custom-designed industrial trays for machines that support and optimize robot-assisted processes.
Transport & Automation in One
Plastic components for mechanical engineering in the form of trays, which provide solutions not only for the production process but also for transport and storage.
Materials with Optimized Properties
Machine enclosures and packaging that are lightweight, antistatic, chemical-resistant, etc...
Areas of Use for Plastic Parts in Mechanical Engineering
Machine Components and Covers
Plastic parts in mechanical engineering are used as components in a variety of applications. Highly transparent PMMA windows serve as a lightweight, scratch-resistant alternative to glass. For machine housings, plastics with ESD protection and electrical insulation properties are used in sensitive areas of the machinery.
Plastic Parts in Mechanical Engineering for Production and Automation
Deep-drawn industrial trays for mechanical engineering optimize process chains along the assembly line or production facility. They are precisely tailored to the production equipment with custom-designed cavities, stacking techniques, and material options.
Advantages of Thermoformed Plastic Parts in Mechanical Engineering
Lightweight & Sturdy
Plastic replaces metal components, thereby reducing the weight and cost of machine enclosures and housings.
Design Freedom
The thermoforming process enables the production of plastic machine components with complex geometries, transparent covers, and custom colors.
Economical
Deep-drawn machine housings and enclosures are ideal for small and medium-volume production runs, and the tooling costs are lower than for metal.
Durable & Safe
Thermoformed machine components are chemical- and impact-resistant due to specific plastic properties, and are also available with optional ESD and fire protection.
Suitable for Automation
Machine trays and blister packs for machines are stackable and support robotic processes thanks to their precise manufacturing.
Fast Delivery Times
Thanks to digital processes and bridge tooling, prototypes and production runs of machine housings are available quickly, and changes can be implemented at any time.
