Machining PEEK

Machining PEEK involves the precision shaping and fabrication of Polyether Ether Ketone (PEEK), a high-performance thermoplastic polymer, using CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining techniques. PEEK's exceptional mechanical properties, chemical resistance, and thermal stability make it a preferred material for various industries.

During machining, CNC machines utilize computer-aided design (CAD) files to precisely cut, mill, turn, drill, and grind PEEK material into desired shapes and dimensions. This process allows for the creation of intricate components with tight tolerances required for critical applications such as seals, bearings, bushings, and structural parts.

CNC machining of PEEK offers several advantages, including the ability to produce complex geometries with high accuracy and repeatability. Additionally, it enables cost-effective production of prototypes and low to medium volume production runs, making it an ideal manufacturing method for PEEK components in industries such as aerospace, automotive, medical, and electronics.

ARKPEEK-1000: 100% PEEK

Produced from virgin polyetheretherketone resin and offers the highest toughness and impact resistance of all types.

ARKPEEK-CF30: 30% Carbon Fiber + 70% PEEK

Carbon fibre reinforcement lends the material a high level of rigidity and creep strength, high mechanical strength and heat conductivity values.

ARKPEEK-GF30: 30% Glass Fiber + 70% PEEK

Glass filled PEEK exhibits increased mechanical strength and high rigidity. Improved creep strength and dimensional stability are achieved by this glass filled PEEK. These properties make this material suitable for use in parts which are exposed to high static loads over long periods in high temperature conditions.
