Die cutting
The Rubber Group specializes in precision die cutting, producing high-quality rubber components like gaskets and seals with custom material selection, tool design, and secondary services for industries such as automotive, aerospace, and medical.
The Rubber Group specializes in die cutting, offering a versatile and cost-effective
solution for producing precision rubber components like gaskets, seals, and washers
with exceptional accuracy. Using precision-engineered metal dies we efficiently
produces high-volume or custom, low-run parts with clean, precise edges and
consistent dimensions.
We can help with material selection and tool design,
collaborating closely with clients to optimize rubber compounds and minimize
material waste. Die-cutting solutions serve industries like automotive, aerospace,
electronics, and medical device manufacturing, ensuring high-quality components
that meet strict performance standards. Secondary services such adhesive
backing further enhance product functionality.
Pros (Ideal for):
- Flat rubber component production
- Parts requiring precise, clean-edged shapes
- Flat components with consistent dimensional accuracy
- High-volume or custom low-run production
- Specific sealing and cushioning applications
- Tight tolerance requirements
Specific Industry Applications:
- Aerospace sealing components
- Electronics insulation parts
- Medical device precision components
- Vibration isolation washers
- Chemical-resistant seals
- Custom-shaped rubber components
- Precision engineering parts
Limitations:
- Limited to two-dimensional or flat component designs
- Challenges with extremely complex shapes
- Potential material waste in certain geometries
- Less suitable for highly intricate part designs
- Requires specialized die tooling
- Initial tooling can be cost-prohibitive for very simple parts
Decision Factors / Comparative Manufacturing:
- Better for 3D complex parts: Molding techniques
- Ideal for highly complex, flat components: Waterjet cutting
- More suitable for continuous profiles: Extrusion
- Superior for flat, precise components: Die cutting
