What is CNC Machining PEEK?
PEEK is a new, semi-crystalline soft engineering plastic material that has very superior physical and mechanical material properties. It can be used as an analog for metal or ceramic materials in many applications where it contributes significantly to weight reduction and performance improvement. PEEK has increased thermal stability at 260 degrees up to long term use of this temperature level; intermittent service conditions are possible up to 300 degrees Celsius. Its stiffness is good, size stability, modulus of elasticity close to an aluminum alloy material. CNC machining peek is a process that applies computer-controlled digital technology to remove the extra material and complete any necessary cutting, turning or milling. This can be done with machine tools depending on what's needed for your specific programmings before getting an end product from peek in their final form.
What are the benefits of CNC Machining PEEK?
Though peek is more suitable for injection molding, there are still many advantages for CNC machining. CNC machining PEEK is a common way to manufacture parts for use in extreme environments that require mechanical strength, chemical stability, and/or high-temperature resistance. Peek machining has the following material properties.
1) Corrosion resistance, anti-aging ;
2) resistance to solubility.
3) High temperatures, high frequency, and high voltage electrical performance conditions ;
4) High performance of toughness and rigidity.
5) Dimensional requirements for precision conditions;
6) Irradiation resistance wear resistance;
7) resistance to hydrolysis, high temperature, and high pressure can still maintain excellent characteristics
8) Lightweight that could replace carbon fiber
9) wear-resistant, anti-static electrical insulation properties;
10) Peek plastic has high mechanical strength requirements components
11) Peek material is low cost and has toxic gas emissions.

Justin, CEO of a lighting company
I inspected the top two pieces of all five boxes. Everything is beautiful! BEAUTIFUL! You remove so much stress from my shoulders. I know that when we pay you to manufacture a product, it will be made perfectly. The glass bead blasting and anodizing is always beautiful. I am so very happy! You make it easier for us to run our business. There is no trouble! With most factories, I have a moment of fear before I open their boxes. Will the components be made correctly? Do they care about quality? It is often a war. And Dennis has to fight the war, treating most factories like small children! But, not your company. You’re company is world-class. You make beautiful components!Thank you very much for your hard work. We will work together for many lifetimes!
David, General manager for a family owned business
I’ve been working with Chinese manufacturers since 2004 and had some really unfortunate partnerships until 2012 when we partnered with Worthy Hardware. At first,we only gave them small orders to test and make the start. However,their response speed was very fast ,and their engineers help us improved our designs more simple, this helped us reduce a lot of cost.Our cooperate is more and more stable! We trust Worthy Hardware always ,very responsible. Your guys are great! .Worthy Hardware is by far my favorite, because of the way they handle business and the quality of what they make.If you are from USA and would like to know more about Worthy Hardware,i would be very happy to be as an endorsement.
CNC Machining PEEK FAQ
1. What is the applications for CNC machining PEEK?
PEEK material is a special engineering plastic with excellent properties such as high-temperature resistance, self-lubricating, easy processing, and high mechanical strength. They could be used for following industries. (1). Transportation-Most of the PEEK is used to manufacture parts around the engine, transmission parts, steering parts, etc (2). Electronics--Peek is used in electrical industries, especially for semiconductors. In the semiconductor field, in order to achieve high functionality and low cost, silicon wafers are required to be larger in size and more advanced in manufacturing technology. Peek is a very good plastic material. (3). Medical equipment-Medical grade PEEK could withstand high-pressure sterilization, it can be used to manufacture endoscope parts and dental detergents in medical equipment.
2. How to improve the deformation for CNC machining in PEEK?
Although Peek is perfect for making by CNC machining, it will deform and surface cracks easily in the cutting process.In order to achieve more precision tolerance and flat surface, there are some methods to avoid its deformation. (1). Annealing treatment before cnc machining (2). Avoid the larger cutting amount, it is better to machine by 2-3 times. (3). Add coolant during processing
3. Tips for CNC PEEK Machining plastic materials.
PEEK plastic has excellent mechanical processing performance, whether it is conventional CNC turning or CNC milling processing, it can also be adapted to grinding, welding and other processes. However, when plastic cnc machining, you need to pay attention to the following issues: (1) When processing modified PEEK grades, you need to pay attention to tool wear; (2) When grinding, it is necessary to pay attention to the cooling of the grinding wheel; (3) When milling, you need to pay attention to the processing deformation caused by removing too much material; (4) Although PEEK has good toughness and generally does not crack during tapping, it is necessary to prevent tapping chips from entanglement
