In the world of conveyor manufacturers, expertise and specialization are the bases of innovation and efficiency. Manufacturers excel in designing, welding, programming, and essentially shaping metal to their will. Yet, when it comes to plastic components, a crucial element in many custom-made conveyors, the process may be unfamiliar and tedious. This is where Slideways steps in, bridging the gap with its specialized plastic machining tailored to your spec.
The foundation of Slideways' offerings is an acute understanding of the OEM’s needs and the unique challenges they face, especially with plastic components. Unlike metal, plastics require a different approach to machining. With a broad diversity of materials such as UHMW, Teflon, Acetal, and Peek to name a few, machining them to the proper tolerances is an art. One that many conveyor manufacturers find outside their scope of expertise due to the intricacies of their designs. Slideways has become a leader in their field, recommending and machining the right materials based on conveyor environment and functionality. Allowing conveyor manufacturers to focus on their core strengths while Slideways handles their specialty of machining custom plastic parts.
