ABS Plastic Machining
ABS Machining -Sentinel Plastics Machines Bespoke ABS Parts to customer specifications, samples or drawings. Our Plastic CNC Machine shop specifically caters for Industrial Plastic Materials such as ABS.
Further, Sentinel Plastics is one of the few companies that both Machines and Fabricates ABS Plastic Parts. ABS Plastic Material is a relatively good Plastic to Machine, form, bond and weld.
ABS Plastic Material
Certainly, ABS is known for being a tough, rigid Plastic, with high impact strength properties. Also, providing very good electrical Insulation. ABS Sheet has low water absorption and is resistant to most acids and alkalis of medium concentration. Furthermore, an attraction of ABS is it can be used continuously to -50°C to +70°C. Available in smooth, Pinseal, leathergrain and fire-retardant grades
Easily bonded and welded. Retardant to most alkalis’ and weak acids. High heat distortion temperature.
ABS Plastic Sheet Machined and ABS Fabrication
Sentinel has Five Sheet Plastic CNC Routing machines and large Plastic Fabrication facilities. Not just Plastic Fabricators of Engineering plastics but also, Industrial Plastics (Tufnol etc). All our CNC Routers can produce almost any cut shape from the extensive range of Engineering Industrial Plastics available in today’s market. Having cutting tables, which can take large Sheet sizes up to a maximum of 3000mm x 2000mm, and, Materials ranging from 1mm up to 50mm in thickness. Moreover, our top brand name Machines can achieve high standard finishes and sizes every time.
