Error-free, high-quality products translate into improved finances and are the result of thorough control and documentation. The machine parts we manufacture in PTFE and high-performance plastic are produced to blend smoothly into your production flow and optimize the supply chain
Production reliability across sectors
As a specialist supplier of solutions in PTFE and high-performance plastic, we are skilled in navigating the universe of sector-specific regulations and standards. Acoplastic supplies customers with the highest quality, delivering machine parts that live up to the individual company’s stated procedures and quality requirements in all areas. As an independent supplier, we cover the entire supply chain – from raw material to machined parts– in-house.
Full traceability through documented quality control
Acoplastic works with PPAP’s according to IATF16949, which entails applying your requirements to specify and document your processes and perform quality control through our production apparatus. This ensures that the quality of the machine parts always lives up to your expectations.
We are also flexible if you have your own quality documentation that you want us to use.

Measuring equipment to validate the quality achieved
Through our internal procedures, we at Acoplastic ensure that each and every delivery meets the highest standards of quality. Using our measuring equipment, we can calibrate machine parts to perfection, ensuring that we live up to all our customers’ quality requirements.
Our measuring equipment comprises:
Zeiss 3D model Spectrum 776
Measurement range: 650 x 650 x 550 mm
PH10M head
SP25 probe system
Calibration ball
Renishaw S3 plus controller and joystick – the scale resolution is 0.5 µm
RationalDMIS CAD software
Measuring machines
DeMeet coordinate measuring machine for tactile and optical measurement.
DeMeet 220 for purely optical measurement.
Our tensile test machine is a Lloyd Instruments LRK+ (up to 2500 Newton tensile tests + compression test).
Our surface/roughness measurer is a Diavite DH-8 (precise measurement of contours, roughness, and a wide variety of surface types).
Our laboratory scales are a Mettler-Toledo model that measures density.
We document polymer morphology in our resin and compounds via Differential Scanning Caliometry (DCS) analysis.
3D measuring machine
At Acoplastic, we take care to keep up with the times so as to assure the best possible quality. We therefore have a 3D measuring machine that measures the entire unit rather than a specific spot or area. The sensors of the 3D measuring machine allow us to take measurements from several different angles. The 3D measuring machine features the latest, most advanced precision measurement, which is carried out through scanning, laser, and touch-trigger processes.
Establish a reliable and productive solution in PTFE and high-tech plastic
Working with PTFE and high-tech plastic involves much more than just producing a machine part. It’s all about how we can refine your products and optimize your processes. We are experts in areas including material attributes, moulding, machining, quality, and documentation.
