Machined plastic parts for electronics & semiconductor equipment
Test fixtures, insulators, manifolds and handling parts for equipment that builds, tests and handles electronics and semiconductors. Machined from your drawing or the worn part.
- Tolerances
- ±0.002"–±0.005" on critical dimensions
- Depending on the plastic
- Machining
- CNC milling and turning, including complex geometry
- From sheet, plate, rod and tube
- Quantities
- Prototypes to production runs
- And repeat orders by part number
Parts by equipment area
From the test fixture to the wet bench
The plastic parts we machine for each area, and the plastics buyers often specify. If yours isn’t listed, we machine it to your drawing or from the worn part.

Machined to your specification
Your grade, your requirements
-
The grade on the drawing
We machine in the exact grade your drawing names, from glass-epoxy laminates to PEEK and Ultem.
-
Cleaning, handling and packaging
Send your requirements with the drawing, and we’ll quote against them.
-
Material certificates
Certificates and traceability for the material in your parts, on request.
For maintenance
Replacement parts for running equipment
Replacement insulators, nests, guides and wear parts, including parts the equipment builder no longer supplies.
-
The worn part is enough
Send the cracked insulator, worn nest or guide. We measure it and machine a new one.
Reverse engineering -
In the original grade
When the drawing or specification names the grade, we machine the replacement in it.
-
When it can’t wait
Our expedited service gets the replacement machined faster, so the equipment is back running sooner.

Plastics
Plastics for electronics and semiconductor parts
Buyers specify these for electrical isolation, heat, and resistance to process chemicals.
- G10 Glass-epoxy laminate Rigid and electrically insulating. Probe and guide plates, solder pallets, insulators
- Ultem PEI Stiff and strong when hot, and insulating. Insulators, sensor housings, test sockets
- PEEK Polyetheretherketone Keeps its strength at high temperatures. Wafer guides, chamber supports, insulators
- PPS Polyphenylene sulfide Holds its size and resists chemicals. Precision insulators, connector parts
- PVDF Kynar Resists acids and process chemicals. Manifolds and wet-process parts
- PTFE Teflon Resists almost every chemical. Valve seats, seals, wet-process parts
- Acetal Delrin Machines cleanly and holds size. Board nests, locators, fixture details
- Polyimide PI Keeps its shape at very high temperatures. Chamber insulators and high-heat parts
FAQ
Questions about electronics and semiconductor parts
Yes. Send the drill file or hole table with the plate drawing, and we machine the holes to those positions.
