PPS machining

Machined PPS finished parts from Ensinger

The semi-crystalline, thermoplastic PPS is often considered a favourable alternative to PEEK due to its properties, such as its very good dimensional stability. However, there is an increased risk of cracking when machining PPS plastic and chipping and warpage can occur. 
Ensinger is a specialist in PPS CNC machining. Thanks to our many years of know-how and early customer advice on the way to a design suitable for production, these difficulties can be reduced to a minimum at Ensinger. In addition, our team has a wealth of experience in realising the tightest tolerances and high surface quality through optimised machining parameters in PPS turning and PPS milling. Ensinger Machined Parts is a reliable partner for the precise machining of components according to customer drawings.

PPS CNC - PPS materials for machining

We machine finished PPS components from the following Ensinger shapes:
TECATRON natural
TECATRON GF40 black
TECATRON GF40 natural
TECATRON PPS CM XP83 black
TECATRON PPS CM XP64 natural
TECATRON PVX black
TECATRON SX natural
We machine PPS semi-finished products that are produced internally in our production facility. In addition, we can also machine your external PPS materials on request. 
Furthermore, we not only manufacture CNC milled PPS components from plates, rods and tubes, but can also bring completely customised profiles and injection molded parts into their final geometry through post-processing. These possibilities can often result in high material savings. 
We will be happy to advise you on the most suitable process for your application. Contact us for this via our contact form.
