Production Process and Delivery Our custom seals of Gambit AF-400® Type 245 are produced using advanced CNC-controlled waterjet cutting machines. This technology provides precision and flexibility in cutting seals 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 starts with gathering the exact specifications and design requirements from the customer. This includes analyzing technical drawings and preparing CAD files that will guide the cutting process.
- Material Preparation: The appropriate thickness and dimensions of AF-400® Type 245 sheets are chosen based on application requirements. These sheets are available in various standard thicknesses.
- CNC Waterjet Cutting: Using CNC-controlled waterjet cutting machines, the sheets are precisely cut according to the specifications in the CAD files. This process ensures high accuracy and minimizes material waste.
- Quality Control: After cutting, the seals undergo thorough quality control to ensure they meet the specified requirements and standards. Each product is tested for sealing properties, dimensions, and integrity.
- Shipping and Delivery: The completed seals are carefully packaged and shipped to the customer. We ensure prompt and efficient delivery so that your project can proceed without delays.
Ordering Terms For all custom seals, a minimum order quantity of €50 excluding VAT applies. This condition helps us maintain the highest quality standards and ensures we can provide efficient production and delivery processes.
How to Customize Seals Customizing seals requires precise specifications and a good understanding of application requirements. Here are some steps to help in making the right choices for your sealing needs:
- Analyze the Requirements: Begin with a thorough analysis of the sealing application. What temperatures, pressures, and media will the seal encounter? This information is crucial for selecting the right material.
- Material Choice: Gambit AF-400® Type 245 is an excellent choice for applications requiring high pressure and temperatures, as well as chemical resistance against oils and fuels.
- Design Preparation: Use CAD software to create your seal design. Ensure dimensions are accurate and save designs in DXF/DWG format for use in the CNC cutting system.
- Prototyping and Testing: If possible, create a prototype of the seal 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 seals from AF-400® Type 245 sheets. The CNC waterjet process ensures precision and quality.
- Installation: After delivery, install the seals according to the manufacturer’s specifications and perform a final check to ensure all seals are correctly placed and functioning as expected.
