Custom Profile/Lens

If you've ever seen a pasta machine in action, you have seen custom extrusion in progress. The difference is, with plastic extrusion we are trying to meet tight tolerances required for the application as we attempt to control variations in size caused by pushing, pulling, stretching, heating and cooling. All these factors are considered in die design, but after that, we liken it to an art form, where the operator uses a myriad of shims, along with many years of experience to create the required profile.

We stock several side panels that are used with flat prismatic sheet to create a lighting lens which over the years may have become obsolete, or are needed on jobs that don't warrant a production run of the original lenses.

Typical profile examples are lighting lenses, ticket holders for retail display, angles, rods, molding, and many others.

Our parts have been many feet underground, on the battlefields in Iraq and out in space with the space shuttle.

We would like to be a part of your team in accomplishing the requirements you have for your project.
