Platen Die Cutting
Using steel-rule dies on our hydraulic presses, we can produce finished parts as large as 24"x24" from insulation materials, laminates and plastic sheet stock, up to about 0.030" thick, at low part cost. Complex shapes, holes, cut-outs and crease lines can all be incorporated, and both the die cost and die life are most attractive. This production technique is best suited to manufacturing small or medium quantities of parts, typically to tolerances of + or - 0.010".

For applications requiring tighter tolerances, particularly on Kapton, Mylar and other difficult substrates, we equip our presses with chemically-etched dies. While these shallow dies are normally restricted to materials below 0.020" thick, they offer clean edges and dimensional accuracy to + or - 0.003". Complex shapes, holes and cut-outs can be incorporated, but crease lines are not practical with chemically etched dies.

We reoutinely die cut thick meterials, such as cork, rubber or plastic foams and similar gasket materials, up to 2" thick, most successfully using hard-knife tooling.

Our 30 ton punch press is equipped with an auto-feeder, so we can produce precision parts from a broad range of hard substrates such as phenolic board, aluminum, or composites, in large quantities. Where itght tolerances are a concern, this hard-tool prrocess can deliver excellent accuracy and economy.

Rotary Die Cutting
Our specially designed rotatry presses can die cut parts from insulating materials, foils, or plastic films, with or without adding an adhesive film, to a tolerance of + or - 0.005", at very high speeds. The parts are delivered on rolls, and may be up to 18" wide. While custom rotary dies are more expensive than steel-rule types, each of our rotary presses cuts over 250,000 parts per day, reducing lead-times and labor costs.

With our automated 30 ton press, we can punch precision parts from a broad range of hard substrates such as phenolic or epoxy board, copper, aluminum, or composite materials, in large quantities. Where tight tolerances are a concern, this hard-tool process can deliver excellent accuracy, together with economy.

CNC Shear Cutting
We have two computer controlled shears capable of cutting stacks of materials up to 42" square, into rectangular shapes at a remorkable speed, offering the quickest parts delivery. Tolerances vary somewhat with different substrates, but are typically + or _ 0.015". While limited to square or rectangular parts, shear cutting requires no die ivestment, and so offers a low cost per part.

For converting rolls of materials into ready to use parts, our cut-to-length equipment can handle shrinkable tubing, hook and loop fastener stock, foam tapes up to 0.25" thick, and metal foils, with typical tolerances of + or - 0.015".

We have the facility to convert rools of thin copper, aluminum or similar materials, up to 10" wide, into precision rectangular parts with tolerances of + or - 0.002". Being highly automated, this process allows us to produce large numbers of simple parts, quickly and economically, without tooling charges.

Rewind and Lathe Slitting
Mater logs of plastic films, insulation papers, and similar substrates, up to 62" wide and weighing up to 1,000 lbs, can be slit and rewound into smaller rools, to + or - 0.015" tolerances on our largest rewind slitting machine.

Rolls of film, foil, or other materials, up to 41" wide and 200 lbs., can be slit into multiple smaller or narrower rolls, with or without being laminated onto an adhesive film, on our combination laminator-rewind slitting unit.

We also cut "logs" of adhesive tapes and metal foils, into precisely dimensioned rolls, ready for use. Our computer controlled equipment can cut rolls as narrow as 0.250" and as wide as 54". Our fast friendly service assures customers of quick delivery of high quality products.

Custom Lamination
Our state-of-the-art 48" wide lamination and sheeting equipment allows us to add adhesive films onto insulation materials, metal foils, and foams, and to supply it as rolls, cut sheets, or further processed into finished parts. The process produces uniformaly excellent lamination quality, and the quipment is located within our Class 100,000 clean room environment.

Sheeting
Our 41-inch capacity sheeter can convert rolls of film, foil, papers, or other materials into neat stacks of individual sheets quickly and economically. If very close tolerances are required, we can trim the sheets to + or - 0.012".
