We manufacture custom plastic extrusion profiles for a diversity of industries, including store fixtures, furniture, cabinets, and millwork using standard dies ranging from t-moldings, price tickets, cap channels to corner connectors, or custom designs made for unique applications.
Numerous factors are involved in any successful custom plastic extrusion profile, many of which should be considered prior to the quoting phase. We keep manufacturing costs to a minimum by selecting the material that best satisfies the application requirements and determining the critical dimensions while considering standard operating tolerances.
Tolerances
Our standard tolerances will vary depending on the material type and should be discussed with our development personnel. However, the basic guidelines would be:
Wall Thickness: |
+/- 8-10% |
|
Angles: |
+/- 2-5% |
|
Profile Dimensions: |
Width
< 1"
1" - 2.5"
3" - 5"
> 5"
|
+/-
0.015" to 0.030"
0.025" to 0.040"
0.060" to 0.093"
0.075" to 0.150"
|
Wall Thickness
The overall wall thickness of your plastic extrusion profile should be as uniform as possible. Uniform wall thickness increases production efficiency and decreases costs.
Hollow Sections
Designs incorporating one or more hollow sections require special cooling equipment, such as vacuum tanks and or vacuum sizers. The fewer hollow sections your plastic extrusion profile contains, the more economical it will be to produce.
