Complex part (circular) in PEEK

Artois Plastiques does not limit itself to machining polyurethane. The company also specialises in machining advanced thermoplastic materials such as Erta-Cétal (also known by the trade name Delrin or acetal). This material is particularly prized for its excellent mechanical properties and ease of machining, making it ideal for complex parts requiring high precision.

Usefulness

In the automotive industry, metal parts are used in a variety of applications, including :

Transmission systems: Cétal pinions and gears are used for their low coefficient of friction and resistance to wear.
Pump and valve components: Thanks to its chemical resistance, Cétal is ideal for components exposed to fuels and oils.
Guide and support parts: The dimensional stability and rigidity of Cétal make it the perfect choice for guide and support parts requiring high precision.

Benefits

Machining complex metal parts at Artois Plastiques involves advanced milling and turning techniques. Thanks to these techniques, the company is able to produce parts with high precision and strict tolerances, meeting the specific needs of industries such as automotive, aerospace and general engineering.

Applications

A typical example of a complex metal part would be a gearwheel or pinion used in a transmission mechanism. These parts require high precision to ensure smooth operation and avoid mechanical failure. Metal, with its rigidity and dimensional stability, is ideal for these applications.
