Tanged Graphite Gasket Cut Machine

There are many kinds of materials for gasket industry,like tanged graphite gasket,teflon & PTFE gasket,rubber gasket,cork gasket ect. A common question we are often asked is, “How can do you cut gasket”? Dekcelcnc gasket oscillating knife cut machine with many years cutting experience to show how to cut.

No.1 Tanged Graphite Gasket Manual Cutting 

Manual gasket cutting methods are very common and generally performed in plants for jobs that require custom gaskets to be cut in the field. The material can be cut with a utility knife,scissors or shears,or even by a battery operated device.The dimensional tolerance of hand cut gaskets is based on the person cutting the gaskets,however,realistically the tolerance on most hand cut gaskets would be greater than +/- 3.2mm (1/8”).Additionally,with hand cut gaskets,there is usually more than one scribe or cut mark,which can potentially lead to jagged edges or nicks in the gasket,thus creating a weak point.Manual cutting is somewhat slow and tedious, and tends to result in a higher yield of gasket scrap or waste.

No.2 Tanged Graphite Gasket Die Cutting 

A Clicker press is another method that is commonly used in higher production of gasket cutting. A rolled steel die is made up and then the die is placed on the material and pressed into it by a pneumatic press. The tolerance of the gasket is much higher than manually cutting and the material yield is much better. The process is still done manually,however,the yield of material is based on the user/operator.The process is economical for larger gasket quantities because a die still needs to be made for each size and there is some maintenance involved in sharpening and maintaining the dies.Die cutting is not recommended for larger OD gaskets, or custom sizes that required small quantities.

No.3 Tanged Graphite Gasket Digital Oscillating Knife Cut Machine

Dekcel CNC digital gasket cutter machine utilize a 3-axis cutting head that have either an oscillating head or drag knife that cuts the material.Gasket dimensions are converted to CAD drawing file(s) and then uploaded into the machine to be cut. The big benefits to using these types of cutters are the speed, high level of accuracy and material savings due to being able to nest all the gaskets together for the optimal yield. Additionally,for custom size gaskets there is no die or tooling required just a CAD drawing to upload. Literally the operator can put the material on the table, nest the gaskets desired to cut and hit start and walk away.
