Equipment and Processes

Saw CuttingExactec Saw Cutting
Plastic sheet is often supplied in sizes 48" X 96" or larger. In order to maintain the best utilization of that sheet material and/or the handling of it, we most often have to process the sheet into smaller blank sizes.




Laser Machining
Exactec Laser Machining
Over 25 years ago, Exactec pioneered the use of Lasers in the cutting of plastic sheet materials. Today we remain the Midwest's largest fabricator specializing in Laser Cutting Technology. Benefits include:

  • "Flame-polished" Edge Quality of finished parts
  • Tolerance Control to +/- .005" of an inch.
  • Ability to process exceptionally detailed/intricate shapes.
  • Ability to process previously silk-screened parts to the bleed edge.
  • Ability to process extremely small components...less than 1/2" in diameter
  • No Tooling Expense

Routing
Beveled/Shaped edges are no problem for Exactec. With our routers and a large inventory of standard tooling, we can satisfy your exact requirements.

Forming - Hot and Cold Line Bending
Forming plastic is most often accomplished with properly heated and controlled wire elements and precise fixturing. However, accuracy, quality, and consistency is the direct result of our experienced staff of quality operators. They will see to it that your bends are exceptional every time.

Flame PolishingExactec  Flame Polishing
A Laser cut edge, in most cases, is of significantly higher quality than a Router or Saw cut edge, and sufficient for most applications. However, when nothing short of a "glass edge" is acceptable, we have the ability to further support your cosmetic concerns.


LaminatingExactec Laminating

Laminates are used for a myriad of reasons. Sometimes, laminates are used simply to protect the surface of a part from scratching. Other times, they are used to completely alter the look of a base sheet of plastic to closely resemble Wood Grain, Metal, or an endless array of textures and colors.

 

Solvent Bonding
Beyond the process of mechanically bonding one part to another with the use of solvents, Exactec makes sure it is done with the highest degree of workmanship and quality.

 

Complete Assembly Exactec Complete Assembly
