Our Custom Rubber Gasket Manufacturing Process
While there are numerous gasket manufacturing methods available, the Accubeam team specializes in laser cutting. Our laser cutting operations are computer-driven, allowing us to achieve greater cutting precision and accuracy. These qualities translate to tighter tolerances and higher consistency for critical gasket parts.
Regardless of the size of the job, our team can fulfill the order. Armed with decades of industry experience and state-of-the-art laser cutting equipment, we can produce custom gaskets in short run or large production quantities.Â
Industrial Applications of Laser Cut Gaskets
Our custom gaskets are used in a wide range of industries. Below we provide some examples of typical industrial applications:
- In the architectural and construction industries, gaskets are designed to maintain a tight seal even when exposed to fluctuating temperatures, chemicals, and ultraviolet radiation. They can also serve as EMI/RFI shielding.Â
- In the automotive industry, gaskets are used in many automobile components and systems, including the cooling system, engine, electrical junctions, fuel supply line, transmission, and doors and windows.Â
- In the electrical and electronics industries, gaskets are found in sensitive instruments to protect them from physical contaminants (e.g., dust and water) and electromagnetic interference (EMI). Â
- In the food and beverage industry, food-grade gaskets are employed in various processing systems, including pumps, ovens, refrigerators, and packaging equipment. Â
- In the medical industry, gaskets are often made from materials that comply with USP Class IV requirements. They must withstand rigorous cleaning and sterilization operations and can sometimes provide shielding from EMI/RFI.Â
The above list is not all-inclusive. Gaskets find application in many other industries, including the following:
- Aerospace
- Chemical
- Defense
- Energy
- Heavy equipment
- Industrial
- Oil and gas
- Transportation
