Pioneer Industrial provides custom flash gasket cutting services for any modern manufacturing plant need.
What Are Custom Flash Gasket Cutting Services?
Our custom services can handle any quantity of any material your equipment requires. This is a service we offer all of our industrial partners to cover any pressing need or to refill stocks of gaskets.
Older methods of custom gasket manufacturing required the use of a custom die. This was an expensive process that required a minimum number of gaskets to be made to justify the expense and simply break even. This meant that plants would need to have gaskets cut in bulk and that led to either shortages and downtime or stocks that were expensive to buy and seldomly used.
Flash gasket cutting solves this issue. It is an efficient, versatile, and flexible system that is easily adaptable for a wide variety of industries and uses.
The flash cutting process uses a machine to precision cut gaskets from a variety of materials and thicknesses. Unlike die-cut gaskets, the CNC machine can stop at one gasket, meaning we can design, cut, and deliver gaskets of any quantity quickly and efficiently. This means more customization options and faster production turn-around times. The flash cutter is installed with a projector that give the ability to visualize the cutting layout which means less material is wasted during the cutting process. This directly translates to lower costs to our customers. The cutter itself is a precision tool that doesn’t distort material due to excessive heat. With precise drawings or CAD files, the cuts are smooth and extremely accurate.
There are a large variety of materials that our flash cutter can handle, including:
- Gasket materials
- Soft plastics
- Rubber
- Adhesives and laminated materials
- Foam
- Sponge
- Industrial fabrics
- Technical textiles
- Paper
How Will It Help Your Plant?
These gaskets are made to order. With enough lead time, Pioneer can complete these orders in 2-3 days with no minimum amount required. Simply send a CAD file, detailed drawing, or even a photo and measurements and we can create the gasket you need out of any acceptable material. This will be made to your exact specifications, priced affordably, and delivered in days.
Materials must meet a minimum rigidity for precision cutting. If you send a photo please note that it is not a totally accurate process and the tolerance may differ depending on the picture and dimensions provided.
Another great use for our flash gasket cutting services is for when you wish to try a prototype material for a gasket. SInce our production runs can be as low as a single gasket, there is little risk and cost involved with trying a material that may make a process safer, more efficient, or cheaper to maintain.
