These Ultem Beads are used within a connector application.Specializing in CNC machining of plastic components, Severna was well equipped to fulfill an order to make Ultem® beads for a connector application. Using Ultem® 1000, we manufactured the beads on our Star CNC Swiss Machining Center with a three-step process: drilling six holes on the bolt pattern; drilling a center hole; and trepanning both sides. The finished part had a diameter ranging from .100" down to .070" and a thickness of .030". Severna was able to maintain machining tolerances of ±.0005" throughout the manufacturing process. Burrs were removed by hand and with cryogenic methods. A large inventory and the ability to run lights out, 24 hours a day, enabled Severna to complete and deliver this order on time.

This ultem insulator is used within an aerospace application. Severna is a full-service machine shop experienced in working with a wide variety of plastic materials. When asked to create an Ultem® insulator for the aerospace industry, Severna had the materials, the tools, and the in-house design capabilities to provide the custom plastic fabricating services that the client needed. Using our CNC Swiss machining know-how, we made the piece in just a single step. Using natural-clear Ultem®1000, which has excellent thermal properties, the finished part measured .500" long, with a diameter ranging from .050" down to .043". We removed any burrs by hand and with cryogenic methods.
