Production Process and Delivery Our custom gaskets made from Gambit AF-202® Type 212 are produced using advanced CNC-controlled waterjet cutting machines. This technology provides precision and flexibility in cutting gaskets into any desired shape, provided you supply DXF/DWG files. The process is designed to deliver accurate and consistent products that meet your specific requirements.
Steps in the Production Process
Design and Specification:
- The process begins with gathering the exact specifications and design requirements from the customer. This includes analyzing technical drawings and preparing CAD files to guide the cutting process.
Material Preparation:
- The appropriate thickness and dimensions of AF-202® Type 212 sheets are selected based on application requirements. These sheets are available in various thicknesses.
CNC Waterjet Cutting:
- CNC-controlled waterjet cutting machines precisely cut the sheets according to the specifications in the CAD files. This process ensures a high level of accuracy and minimizes material waste.
Quality Control:
- After cutting, the gaskets undergo thorough quality control to ensure they meet the specified requirements and standards. Each product is tested for its sealing properties, dimensions, and integrity.
Shipping and Delivery:
- The finished gaskets are carefully packaged and shipped to the customer. We ensure prompt and efficient delivery so that your project can proceed without delays.
Order Conditions For all custom gaskets, a minimum order quantity of €50 excluding VAT applies. This condition helps us maintain the highest quality standards and ensures efficient production and delivery processes.
How to Customize Gaskets Customizing gaskets requires precise specifications and a good understanding of application requirements. Here are some steps to help make the right choices for your sealing needs:
Analyze the Needs:
- Begin with a thorough analysis of the sealing application. What temperatures, pressures, and media will the gasket encounter? This information is crucial for selecting the right material.
Material Choice:
- Gambit AF-202® Type 212 is an excellent choice for applications requiring high pressure and temperature resistance, as well as chemical resistance to oils and fuels.
Design Preparation:
- Use CAD software to create your gasket design. Ensure that dimensions are accurate and that designs are saved in DXF/DWG format for use in the CNC cutting system.
Prototyping and Testing:
- If possible, create a prototype of the gasket to test fit and function. This helps identify any necessary adjustments before production begins.
Production:
- Once the design is approved, production begins with cutting the gaskets from AF-202® Type 212 sheets. The CNC waterjet cutting process ensures precision and quality.
Installation:
- After delivery, install the gaskets according to the manufacturer's specifications and perform a final check to ensure all seals are correctly placed and functioning as expected.
