<p><strong>We specialize in cutting and fabricating custom gaskets.</strong></p>
<p>Some of the more common uses for a gasket include environmental seals, dust seals, vibration dampers and EMI shielding.</p>
<p>Many of our products can be supplied with an adhesive backing, which can reduce or eliminate the need to use difficult to control liquid adhesive on the assembly line.</p>
<p>Many engineers specify easy-to-use <strong><a href="http://www.westernrubber.com/wp-admin/KISS-cutting.html">kiss cut gaskets</a></strong> when assembly line efficiency is critical. Since kiss cut gaskets can dramatically reduce the time it takes assembly personnel to peel them off the paper release liner, significant labor savings can be realized.</p>
<h5>Things to consider when specifying a die-cut part</h5>
<p>Consider a multi-cavity steel rule die instead of a single cavity. Multiple cavity dies increase the number of gaskets made with each hit, which may reduce the amount of labor needed to manufacture production quantities.</p>
<h5>In some cases, accordion-style dies should be considered.</h5>
<p>Accordion-style dies make efficient use of the gasket material. Whether our production team is manufacturing a simple washer or intricately detailed gaskets, every phase of the production process follows a time tested procedure, designed to ensure product conformity and quality.</p>
<p>We rely on our automated vision system to help ensure product quality and conformity. The advanced metrology software allows our Quality Control Department to import CAD drawings and use the drawings as the basis for inspecting production parts.</p>
<p>The automated system guarantees a highly reliable, non-bias, quality inspection.</p>
