When a gasket has an unusual shape, larger dimensions, or details that must conform to a specific drawing, waterjet cutting is a useful manufacturing method. This technology makes it possible to cut gaskets and seals directly from sheets of material without the need to develop a special punching tool.
At Cabseal, we use waterjet cutting for both simple geometries and more complex parts. This method can be used for many different gasket materials and is well-suited for applications such as prototypes, small production runs, and custom dimensions.
No heat-affected zoneWhen are water-jet-cut gaskets and seals appropriate?
Waterjet cutting is particularly useful when a design requires holes, cutouts, or shapes that must conform precisely to the drawing. Furthermore, because the material is cut without heat input, a heat-affected zone in the material is avoided.
For large production runs where the same part needs to be manufactured many times, stamped gaskets and seals may be a viable alternative, depending on the material, dimensions, and quantity.
Materials We Manufacture: Waterjet-Cut Gaskets & Seals in
A wide range of materialsWater-jet-cut gaskets and seals in a variety of materials
We can waterjet-cut gaskets and seals from a wide variety of materials. The appropriate material and thickness are determined by the part’s function and the environment in which it will be used.
If you have a drawing or an existing part that needs to be manufactured, please feel free to contact us at Cabseal, and we'll take a look at the possibilities!
