Cutting rubber
Challenges of cutting rubber
Rubber is a versatile material used in a wide range of industries. Its unique properties make it simultaneously challenging to process:
- Elasticity: The ability of rubber to return to its original shape after deformation places high demands on the precision of cutting tools.
- Hardness: The variation between soft and hard rubber materials requires the technology to be adapted to the properties of the material.
- Thickness: Thicker rubber parts are more difficult to cut while maintaining accuracy, especially for complex shapes.
Therefore, it is important to use the right methods and equipment to get accurate and clean cuts.
Efficient methods for cutting rubber
At Stans-Service, we use advanced techniques to ensure the highest quality in every project. Two common methods are:
- Kiss-cut technology: Cuts through the rubber but leaves a liner intact - ideal for self-adhesive films or pads.
- Precision cutting: With carefully calibrated machines, we cut rubber to exact dimensions, both for small details and larger components.
Our process is optimized for different types of rubber, including natural rubber, EPDM and silicone.
Applications for cutting rubber
Rubber components play an important role in many industries. Common areas of use are:
- Gaskets: Ensure tightness and reduce vibration in industrial applications.
- Insulation details: Thermal insulation in the electronics industry.
- Sealing strips: Customized strips that prevent leakage and protect against external stresses.
From prototyping to large-scale production, we are a flexible partner for different needs.
