Acrylic processing technology

Acrylic is a common plastic material, with good transparency, weather resistance and mechanical strength, is widely used in billboards, display racks, light boxes, decorations and other fields. Acrylic processing technology mainly includes cutting, bending, seaming, drilling, hot bending, bonding and other steps.

First of all, cutting, cutting acrylic can use manual cutter, mechanical cutter, laser cutter and so on. Manual cutting is mainly suitable for simple shapes of acrylic panels, the use of sharp blades along the cutting line for cutting. Mechanical cutting machine is able to realize more accurate cutting, by giving a certain pressure to cut acrylic sheet. Laser cutting machine can realize the high-precision cutting of acrylic sheet, through the laser beam to melt the acrylic cut. Cutting acrylic need to pay attention to the choice of appropriate cutting process and tools to ensure the quality and efficiency of cutting.

The next step is bending, bending acrylic can use heaters, molds, fixtures and other tools. After heating the acrylic sheet in a heater to a certain temperature, the acrylic sheet is placed on a mold or fixture and then bent by applying the appropriate force. When bending acrylic, you need to control the heating temperature and pressure to avoid distortion or cracking of the acrylic sheet.

The next step is seaming. Acrylic seams can be joined using either adhesive or welding methods. Adhesive can choose a transparent acrylic adhesive, first of all, the need to join the surface of the acrylic board clean, and then in the joints evenly coated with adhesive, and then the two pieces of acrylic board tightly spliced and apply a certain amount of pressure to make it fixed. Welding method requires the use of acrylic welding agent or acrylic welding machine, by applying the welding agent in the joint, and then use high-frequency vibration or heating methods to make it melt, and finally cooled and solidified to form a joint.

In addition, drilling is also a common step in acrylic processing, you can use a drill or drill press for drilling processing. Before drilling, you need to determine the location of the holes, and use the appropriate drill bit, and then at the appropriate speed and pressure for drilling. In order to avoid deformation or rupture of the acrylic sheet when drilling, you can add a suitable fixture or support at the drilling place.

Finally, hot bending, hot bending acrylic is mainly to heat the acrylic sheet and then bending. The acrylic sheet is heated using a specialized hot bending machine or heater and then bent into the desired shape by applying force. In the heat bending need to pay attention to the heating temperature, heating time and pressure control, in order to avoid excessive heat bending or acrylic sheet deformation.

In summary, the acrylic processing process includes cutting, bending, seaming, drilling, hot bending and other steps. Specific processing methods can be based on different needs and conditions to choose the appropriate tools and processes to ensure the quality and efficiency of acrylic processing. In acrylic processing need to pay attention to the operating standards, master the processing technology and the use of tools to ensure the safety of the process and the quality of acrylic products.
