Metal backed urethane sheets are commonly found in replacement parts for assembly lines. Made from high-quality material specified to your requirements, metal backed urethane sheets can be cast up to 4′ foot square pieces. When used in assembly line applications the metal backed urethane sheets will be fastened in ways to act like a bumper or guide to keep product flowing in the right direction. Urethane has excellent abrasion resistance vs similar materials with additives available for use with existing X-ray equipment or FDA requirements.
Plan Tech can also water jet cut urethane parts in any profile needed for the application into the metal backed urethane sheets. Often times supplied in a soft durometer with additives that increases lubricity and abrasion resistance. Urethane also has a great ability to absorb an impact and return to its original shape in most temperature conditions. Plan Tech’s metal backed urethane sheets also have 30 years of bonding urethane to substrates experience which yield a bond tear strength greater than the urethane for ideal service life conditions. Our engineering department can turn your idea, sketch, drawing or CAD file into custom urethane parts. We will reverse engineer to recreate any urethane part for production or one-off urethane pieces. The engineering department uses SolidWorks and our machine shop uses CamWorks for 3 axis milling. Our equipment includes CNC mills, lathes, polyurethane grinders as well as a state of the art urethane waterjet cutting machine. Secondary equipment includes sheet metal, welding, grinding, automated cutoff, broaching and more. We offer complete manufacturing capability for the inserts or cores required for your parts and provide one-stop shopping for all of your custom cast polyurethane products.
Making parts that effectively incorporate a metallic or non-metallic component requires a superior method for achieving a chemical bond between the urethane and the substrate. Here at Plan Tech, we have developed preparation methods to consistently apply specially formulated urethane adhesives. Our proprietary equipment for cleaning, preparation, automated adhesive spray application and automated drying ensures a consistently high-strength bond between the urethane and the substrate.
