LATHING PTFE

PTFE Lathing​

PTFE Lathing

INAC provides CNC turning and lathing services for PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) materials. This specialized machining capability is available alongside our CNC machining, offering clients comprehensive manufacturing solutions for precision components.

Material: PTFE
PTFE is a high-performance fluoropolymer material known for its exceptional chemical resistance, low friction properties, and wide temperature operating range. INAC’s lathe processing services enable the production of cylindrical PTFE components with precise dimensional tolerances.

Lathe Processing Capabilities
Our lathe processing and combined lathe materials processing services handle both resin and ferrous and non-ferrous metal materials. The turning and lathing process is particularly well-suited for creating cylindrical parts, shafts, bushings, seals, and other rotationally symmetric components from PTFE material.

Quality Assurance
At INAC, where quality comes first, quality inspections are performed using coordinate measuring machines (CMMs), gauges, and other precision equipment to ensure dimensional accuracy of lathed components.

Comprehensive Manufacturing Services
INAC offers lathing as part of a complete range of manufacturing methods including CNC milling, CNC machining, 3D printing, vacuum casting, and sheet metal processing. This allows us to recommend the optimal production method for your specific component requirements.

Design and Engineering Support
Our experienced designers provide adequate support throughout the manufacturing process until prototype completion. Whether you need PTFE lathing as a standalone service or as part of a larger assembly, our team is ready to assist with your project requirements.

Please feel free to contact us to discuss your PTFE lathing and CNC turning needs.
Adequate support will be provided by our experienced designers until prototype completion.

STEP5: Quality Assurance and Precision Inspection

A quality inspection is performed. At INAC, where quality comes first, we use CMMs, gauges, and other equipment for precision checks.

STEP4: Post-Processing and Finishing

Finishing is done by removing the supports, polishing, and applying transparency treatment. It is also possible to paint and apply plating to the formed product.

STEP3: UV-Laser Print Formation (SLA Process)

Output: The product is formed by irradiating the liquid with a laser beam of UV light and laminating it. The conditions of the external environment, such as room temperature and humidity, must be maintained.

STEP2: Model Program Generation and Support Adjustment

A program for model formation is created. Depending on the shape, it may be necessary to adjust the degree of tilt and the position of the supports.

STEP1: CAD File Submission

Upload your CAD to our online quoting platform.

STEP 3: Rendering and Scene Integration

We can also handle exterior modeling and interior structure design based on illustrations. After creating the 3D models, we can create a rendering to fit a scene. We can deliver images even if we do not proceed with production.

STEP 2: Detailed Design and 3D Modeling

Once the design is determined, drawings and 3D models will be created. The structure will be examined, taking into consideration not only the external design but also functionalities such as mating and sliding.

STEP 1: Initial Design Consultation

The first step is a meeting to discuss the project. Drawings are not required for this meeting. We will create a design from a sketch based on the overall image and concept that you have in mind.

STEP5: Quality Assurance and Inspection

We perform quality inspections. At INAC, where quality comes first, we use CMMs, gauges, and other equipment for precision checks.

STEP4: Post-Casting Finishing

Vacuum casting materials are cured and then taken out of the silicone rubber mold. Then we perform finishing such as deburring and gating, and they are made into finish products.

STEP3:Material Injuction

Liquid casting material is injected into the silicone rubber mold in a vacuum environment.　

STEP2: Mold Preparation

The silicone mold is cut open into a male and female mold, and the master model is removed.

STEP1: Mold Creation

The master model is fixed to a wooden frame and silicone is poured to create a mold.
