成型 & 挤压
Processing capabilities
材料:
- Aflas
- 丁
- 三元乙丙橡胶
- FKM
- Fluorosilicone
- Natural Rubber
- 氯丁橡胶
- Nitrile (NBR, HNBR, XNBR)
- SBR
- 硅胶
- Thermoset Composites
- Custom Formulations
Compression 成型
Cost-effective process; great for molding all-rubber & fabric-inserted products with simple geometries such as diaphraghms
- Able to process nearly any type of elastomer
- Part sizes as small as 1 gram to as large as 1 ton
- Combined, Wabtec Elastomers has more than 500 compression molding presses at its facilities
- Product examples: diaphragms, backing cushions, transmission couplings
Transfer 成型
Well-suited for steel-inserted, or all-rubber products having moderate-to-complex shapes or cross sections
- Only one prep is required - regardless of the # of cavities in the mold
- Cure time is less than compression molding
- Less flash / waste on the molded parts; easier to trim
- Wide range of part sizes are possible
- Product examples: steering column boots, isolators, plugs
Injection 成型
Good option for high-volume, steel-inserted or all-rubber products having moderate-to-complex shapes or cross sections
- Quicker cure time allows for high-volume production
- Most machine operations & processes can be automated
- Product examples: exhaust hangers, umbrella valves, check valves
Orcomatic 成型
An effective solution for automated, high-volume production of small parts such as consumer goods, electronics & plumbing seals
- Ideal for parts less than 2” diameter
- Scalable production
- Unsurpassed quality 和 consistency
- Automated high speed digital part inspection
挤压
标准 & customized large scale extruded profiles
- Extruded profiles with cross sectional ranges of 2” – 18” (cylindrical) 和 2” – 20” (flat)
- 标准 line product applications include: Dock Fenders, Snowplow Blades & Skirtboards
- Custom extruded profiles also available
M和rel Wrapping
Cost effective alternative to molding for low production volumes
- Supported 和 unsupported elements from 1” to 30’ long in a range of diameters
- Autoclave curing (30” high x 52’ long or 78” high x 53.5英尺长)
- All rubber, fabric-reinforced rubber 和 metal-reinforced rubber
- Useful for prototyping & development
Die Cutting
ATOM Flashcut die-less gasket cutting system features & 好处:
Saves Time
Immediately produce a prototype by uploading a CAD drawing or scanning a sample gasket into the system. The turnaround is a matter of minutes compared to the 1 - 2 week time frame traditional die cut tooling can take.
Reduces Costs
Gasket dies can cost from $100 - $1,000 depending upon the size of the gasket. Our die-less ATOM Flashcut system eliminates this cost.
Increases Accuracy
Gasket "tweaks" can be performed instantly by updating the system file 和 without the cost 和 time involved with tooling modifications.
Reverse Engineering
3D scanning capability enables our team to reverse engineer obsolete or unknown gaskets quickly & accurately.
材料 Range
- Swellex™
- Graphite Composites
- 感觉
- Rubber Sheet
- Metal Gaskets
- 塑料
- Magnetic Sheeting
- All OEM 材料 also available
成键 & Overmolding
Proven reliable adhesive systems
Our specially formulated adhesive systems provide strong bonds that consistently withst和 flexing 和 chemical attack found in harsh environments 和 operating conditions.
We Specialize in 成键:
