Basic Knowledge of ABS Plastic CNC Machining

ABS CNC materials are widely used but very important machined plastic parts. It is a kind of "tough, hard and rigid" material with easy-to-obtain raw materials, good comprehensive performance, low price and wide application.



CNC ABS plastics are widely used in machinery, electrical, textile, automobile, aircraft, ship and other manufacturing industries and chemical industry.

Material properties: ABS is a thermoplastic polymer structure material with high strength, good toughness and easy processing.	General performance	The relative density of ABS is about 1.06, and the water absorption rate is low. ABS has a good combination with other materials and is easy to surface printing, coating, and plating.
	Mechanical properties	ABS has excellent mechanical properties, its impact strength is excellent, and can be used at extremely low temperatures: ABS has excellent wear resistance, good dimensional stability, and oil resistance, and can be used for bearings under medium load and speed.
	Thermal properties	The heat distortion temperature of ABS is 93~118°C, and the product can be increased by about 10°C after annealing. ABS can still show a little toughness at -40°C and can be used in the temperature range of -40~101°C.
	Electrical properties	ABS has good electrical insulation and is hardly affected by temperature, humidity and frequency, so it can be used in most environments.
	Environmental performance	ABS is not affected by water, inorganic salts, alkalis and various acids, but it is soluble in ketones, aldehydes and chlorinated hydrocarbons, and it will cause stress cracking when it is corroded by glacial acetic acid and vegetable oil. The weather resistance of ABS is poor, and it is easy to degrade under the action of ultraviolet light; after half a year outdoors, the impact strength drops by half.
Precautions for ABS CNC Machining	Clear processing content	Determine the processing content of the customized CNC machining center, determine the installation base surface, processing base surface, machining allowance, etc., and arrange the processing technology for the purpose of giving full play to the efficiency of the CNC machining center.
	Multiple clamping	For complex parts, due to various reasons such as thermal deformation during processing, internal stress after quenching, and deformation of parts after clamping, it is difficult to complete the entire process after one clamping. At this time, two or more clamping can be considered.
	Arrange machining allowance	When arranging the processing program, the principle of gradually refining from coarse to fine should be followed. Arrange heavy cutting and rough machining first, remove the machining allowance on the blank, and then arrange the content with low machining accuracy requirements.
	Large flow cooling method	Adopt large flow cooling method. In order to reduce the influence of a large amount of heat generated during the machining process on the machining accuracy and improve the durability of the tool, a large flow cooling method should be used.
Application Scenarios The largest application fields of ABS are automobiles, electronic appliances, and mechanical manufacturing fields.	Automotive field	Car dashboards, body panels, interior trim panels, steering wheels, sound insulation panels, door locks, bumpers, ventilation ducts, and many other components.
	Electrical field	Widely used in refrigerators, televisions, washing machines, air conditioners, computers, copiers and other electronic appliances.
	Electronic product	Notebook/desktop computers, copiers, printers, plotters, monitors. Electronic product casings, electric meter covers and housings, household switches, plugs and sockets, cable and wire conduits.
	Communication device	Telecommunications, mobile phone casings, accessories and smart cards (SIM cards)

Cost-saving Design Tips of CNC Machining ABS

If the demand for your machining ABS plastic product is relatively small, it is recommended to use CNC machining, followed by surface treatment and post-processing. In order to save processing materials, you can try to use standardized blanks through optimized design, use appropriate cutting tools, etc. Reduce material costs.



If the demand for your CNC ABS plastic product is relatively large, it is recommended to open a mold and perform production and processing through injection molding to save material costs.

Advantages of Using CNC To Process Milling ABS Parts

Accuracy and Repeatability

Accuracy and Repeatability: CNC machining ABS provides a highly accurate machining process, enabling precise ABS cutting, milling, drilling and other operations on ABS materials. With pre-programmed instructions, the CNC machine can precisely control the movement and position of the tool, ensuring that the final part size and geometry are consistent with the design requirements. This precision and repeatability results in consistent quality and geometric characteristics for each machined part.



Complexity and Versatility

Complexity and Versatility: Machining ABS material shows good machinability in CNC machining, and can realize the machining of complex shapes and structures. The CNC machine tool has multi-axis control capability, which can move and rotate the tool in multiple directions at the same time, so as to realize multi-axis cutting and processing of ABS CNC materials. This makes it easier to manufacture complex parts while reducing process changeover and equipment occupancy time.



Automation And Production Efficiency

Automation And Production Efficiency: CNC ABS plasitc machining is an automated processing process, which can greatly improve production efficiency by controlling the operation of machine tools through pre-written programs. The operator only needs to set up the machine tool and monitor the machining process, and the CNC machine tool will automatically perform precise machining operations, reducing human error and operating time, and improving production efficiency.



Flexibility and Quick Adjustment

Flexibility and Quick Adjustment: CNC machining is characterized by high flexibility and can be quickly changed and adjusted according to requirements. By modifying the CNC program, it can quickly adapt to design changes or changes in production requirements, reducing production cycles and costs. This flexibility enables machining ABS plastic manufacturers to quickly respond to market demands and flexibly adjust production plans.
