Fluororesin PTFE・PFA | Basics of Machining

High-precision cutting processing that can only be achieved by thoroughly understanding the properties of fluororesin, which is prone to deformation and difficult to process.

What is cutting processing of fluororesin? Cutting processing of fluororesin (such as PTFE and PFA) refers to a machining method where molded materials are machined using equipment like NC lathes and machining centers to finish them into product shapes. A significant feature is that it does not require molds, making it suitable for prototyping, small lots, and diverse production. It offers high freedom of shape and can accommodate a wide range of applications, including bellows, diaphragms, sealing parts, and precision components. Support for cutting processing of filled PTFE "Filled PTFE," which incorporates fillers such as carbon fiber, fiberglass, and graphite into PTFE, is a high-performance material with improved wear resistance, creep resistance, and sliding properties. Our company flexibly supports the cutting processing of these filled PTFE materials and proposes optimal processing tailored to specific applications. Cost and material loss reduction through shaping processing Our company also accommodates shaping processing, which involves forming materials into shapes close to the final product during the molding stage. If the shape allows for shaping processing, benefits such as "significant reduction in material loss," "shortened processing time," and "reduction in costs and delivery times" can be expected.
