Plastic materials are essential in industrial and automation applications, offering versatility, durability, and cost-effectiveness. Common types include ABS, polycarbonate, PVC, and nylon, used for components like gears, housings, insulators, and protective covers. These materials provide excellent mechanical strength, chemical resistance, and electrical insulation, making them ideal for parts requiring lightweight yet robust performance. In automation, plastic materials are often used in conveyor belts, sensor mounts, and machinery guards due to their low friction and wear resistance. Available in sheets, rods, or molded forms, they support prototyping, custom fabrication, and mass production.
