Lasers are often used because they are believed to produce the smoothest surface, but the best tools for cutting silicone are silicone die cutting, rotary die cutting, and silicone rubber CNC cutters. The reasons will be explained further below.

Silicone rubber is probably one of the most commonly used materials in industry, especially the process industry. It is difficult to avoid contact with silicone in your daily life.

First, silicone rubber is undoubtedly one of the most customizable products in the rubber industry. Silicone rubber can be customized to suit a variety of applications. Applications have different performance requirements, ranging from low temperature resistance to high tear strength.

While the variety of available specifications does make it easy to see how silicone rubber can be tailored to its physical properties, it's worth noting that color isn't a limiting factor either. Silicone rubber can be easily dyed in a variety of colors, making it ideal for food and medical applications.

Another reason silicone rubber is so ubiquitous is because there are countless products that can be made out of it—from gaskets to O-rings, window seals and even slush machines—and it’s safe to say that silicone rubber has incredible applications in the following industries Uses: Medical to aerospace.

If you need to cut silicone rubber, then you need to find the right cutting equipment so that you can give your customers a finished product that is already satisfactory.

Best Equipment for Cutting Silicone Rubber:

Silicone die cutting：

By die cutting, shims are often used with a hydraulic press so that the material can be formed into large rolls. Raw materials can be used to make anything. The press is usually equipped with a die, and as it runs, it presses itself into the material, cutting into whatever design is required for the application. Typically, molds are made of steel rulers, which have a very long service life. They are also ideal for mass production. The great thing about die cutting machines is that they can produce thousands of products per hour. The lower tooling costs are great for orders that have to be done in high volumes, and you also have design tolerances down to tenths to thousandths of an inch.

Round die cutting：

As mentioned above, die cutting uses a steel knife to punch out any blank sections. It's very similar to a cookie cutter. The process is capable of cutting complex shapes from many materials, the most popular being foam, rubber, plastic, cork and silicone. Rotary die cutting can be done with or without any type of adhesive. During this process, the machined mold will rotate relative to the mandrel. It allows for tight tolerances and a high level of repeatability for thinner gauges. This works great for large batch runs.

Silicone rubber CNC cutting machine：

One of the precision cutting technologies used for silicone rubber materials is a CNC cutting machine. The flatness of the table is detected by a high-precision distance detector, and the plane is corrected in real time through software to achieve a perfect cutting effect. The silicone rubber CNC cutting machine is a device that uses computer transmission for cutting. It uses a blade cutting machine for cutting. The AOL fully automatic cutting machine provides precise results when running at high speed, easily producing a series of lines, shapes and arcs. It can meet the production goals of small batches, multiple orders and multiple styles. It is versatile and can be used to cut leather and other flexible materials. Widely used in the shoemaking industry, clothing industry, luggage industry, automobile industry, and decoration industry.

AOL intelligent blade cutting machine has high precision and high efficiency. Our professional after-sales service can provide automatic cutting solutions for various industries.
