Form-In-Place

form-in-place-2Our form-in-place robots use the latest automation technology to dispense a defined gasket bead on virtually any work piece.  Form-in-place dispensed gaskets are perfect for use in many aerospace, industrial, high technology, medical equipment and military applications.

Our CNC systems accurately dispense a variety of conductive and non-conductive materials.  The RTV (room temperature vulcanization) or UV (Ultraviolet) cured gasket bead naturally adheres directly to the work piece.  Gaskets requiring thin profiles, intricate shapes and / or changes in the Z-axis or elevation are easily dispensed by our robots.

Our dispensed form-in-place gaskets offer significant material cost savings when compared to conductive die cut gaskets.  Since the form-in-place gaskets are dispensed directly on the work piece by the CNC robots, the material cost savings can be dramatic.

Form-in-place gaskets can be dispensed on intricate work pieces including those with changes in elevation.  Our CNC robots were developed to dispense precise form-in-place gasket beads on even the most complex work pieces.

Send us your work pieces or let Western Rubber & Supply, Inc. provide you with a turn-key work piece and form-in-place gasket solution.

Western Rubber & Supply, Inc. is your Northern California based Nolato Silikonteknik EMC Production Center.  We offer dispensed Nolato Trishield® electrically conductive silicone compounds and offer Nolato Compashield® molded and extruded products.  With core competencies in conductive silicone and materials processing, Nolato and Western Rubber & Supply, Inc. offer unique solutions designed to meet performance and cost requirements.

Standard Bead versus Nolato Trishield Bead

Focus on Materials and Technology

Nolato Silikonteknik’s patented Trishield® gaskets are a technological breakthrough.  With a significantly lower compression force requirement than other FIP (Form-in-Place) gasket materials, shorter production cycle times and less material consumption, Nolato Trishield® gaskets offer a clear advantage over standard materials.

Local and International Production

A global network of EMC Production Center’s, guarantee reliable, consistent gaskets whether final production takes place in North America, Europe or Asia.  The same high quality materials and production methods used by Western Rubber & Supply, Inc. in Northern California are also used by EMC Production Centers in other parts of the world.  Global production capabilities make specifying Nolato Silikonteknik’s Trishield® gaskets an easy decision.
