Rubber companies can manufacture custom gaskets in an almost unlimited variety of sizes and thicknesses. Our industrial gasket cutting machines combine fast turnaround times with exceptional precision and quality. This allows our gaskets to be matched to your specifications, ensuring they are fit for purpose. Our CNC cutting machines can also cut materials up to 2m wide. Its large conveyor allows us to manufacture large size gaskets without the need for joints.
The gasket industry often faces multiple challenges that require efficient and effective cutting solutions. Some key questions include:
1. Material waste
Traditional cutting methods (usually manual or semi-automatic) are less precise and result in a lot of material waste.
2. Time-consuming process
Older cutting technology requires significant time to set up and operate, reducing overall productivity.
3. High cost
The need for specialized molds and manual labor increases production costs, making the process less economical.
4. Lack of flexibility
Traditional cutting methods are not well suited for design changes or low-volume production, resulting in inefficiencies and delays.
To address these challenges, more and more gasket manufacturers are turning to CNC vibrating knife cutting machines. For any gasket manufacturer looking to increase their competitiveness, switching to an oscillating knife cutter is a smart move. With the versatility, efficiency and cost-savings these machines offer, it’s easy to see why they are the industry’s solution of choice.
Our CNC machines use a variety of tooling, which allows us to customize each production run to suit the material and gasket design. This allows our CNC machine cut gaskets to have grooves, notches, and grooves depending on the application. Interchangeable tools also allow us to cut a variety of materials, from soft open-cell sponge to hard reinforced solid rubber. This ensures you always get a clean, precise edge, regardless of the gasket material.
Preparing washers for manufacturing couldn't be easier with a CNC machine. We can produce CNC machine cut gaskets from CAD files or technical drawings. Once the machine is installed, it will make each gasket the same way. This completely eliminates the possibility of human error and ensures you get a consistent, even gasket every time.
Things to note when choosing a CNC cutting machine to produce high-quality gaskets:
As an expert in the field of vibrating knife cutting machines, I can provide valuable insight to customers in the gasket industry looking to invest in a CNC cutting machine for high quality output. Here are the key factors to consider:
