Planning this type of job
Polycarbonate is commonly considered where impact resistance is the priority. Acrylic may suit lower-impact covers where clarity and finish are more important.
Straight replacement panels can be saw cut. Profiles, slots, holes and repeatable mounting details are generally better suited to CNC machining.
Plastix supplies the fabricated plastic component to the approved brief. The customer remains responsible for equipment-specific design, compliance and installation requirements.
Include in the quote brief
- Overall dimensions, thickness and quantity
- Hole centres, slots, bends and edge clearances
- Photos or drawings of the equipment and existing guard
- Material preference, deadline and pickup or delivery needs
