We formulate, engineer 和 process most any type of rubber in a range of sizes 和 geometries to provide quality solutions that solve specific customer challenges.

成型 & 挤压

Processing capabilities

材料:
  • Aflas
  • 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:

time icon
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.

Guard Icon
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.

bulleyes icon
Increases Accuracy

Gasket "tweaks" can be performed instantly by updating the system file 和 without the cost 和 time involved with tooling modifications.
