Our cutting service offers angular and dimensionally accurate cutting (f.ex. as square bars), perfect for further processing. On request, the plastic blanks can be planed and grooved to the tightest of tolerances. Amsler & Frey Ltd also offers a wide range of ground rods. We use a centreless grinding machine for custom dimensions. Material in stock and blanks are shipped on the day they are ordered, or on the next working day at the latest.
Planing
We can plane your plastic blank to the tightest of tolerances on request, thus improving their alignment and guaranteeing more precise measurements. For example, we can produce your square bar in any desired dimension.
Materials containing glass fibres or carbon fibres cannot be planed. Please bear in mind the following basic conditions:
Two-sided planing:
- maximum thickness of 300 mm x width of 800 mm – maximum length of 3000 mm
Four-sided planing:
- minimum thickness of 5 mm x width of 20 mm – maximum thickness of 120 mm x width of 180 mm – maximum length of 3000 mm
Grooving
Grinding
In addition to a wide range of ground rods, Amsler & Frey Ltd has a centreless grinding machine for custom dimensions. Grinding improves the roundness tolerance and paves the way for optimal processing on longitudinal turning machines (décolletage). Apart from polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP) and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), any plastic is suitable for grinding. Please bear in mind the following basic conditions:
- up to Ø 40 depending on h9 tolerances
- over Ø 40 by agreement
All semi-finished products are available to order in our online shop.
