TPS Topfine R1000 Test Socket Plate
TPS Topfine R1000 Test Socket Plate boasts excellent dimensional stability and is specially designed for precision hole drilling. Producing holes with a diameter of several tens of micron in conventional engineering plastics is associated withvarious problems caused by the flash, the need for post processing, probe pin errors, and other factors. So far, only a limited number of wholly aromatic polyester resigns could be used for plates and other parts requiring ultra fine holes. Special resin treatment and proprietary molding technology make Topfine R1000 a super engineering plastic that largely eliminates flash related problems during precision machining. Consequently, there is now a wider choice of materials for appplications requiring ultra-fine precision holes.
Topfine R1000 is based on PPS resin featuring high dimensional stability. Because the composition also contains a high percentage of different kinds of inorganic particles, it can be described as a compound super engineering plastic material. It not only boasts improved cutting and broing workability, but also has excellent stiffness on par with fiber-reinforced resin which is notoriously difficult to cut.
Plates are available in thicknesses from 3mm to 5mm (.118" to .177"). Standard Plate size is 100mm x 200mm (3.93" x 7.87")
