Sealing material - accurately sealed
Seals are an indispensable feature of day-to-day industrial life. They are used in widely differing applications and prevent or limit the passage of unwanted substances from one area to another. The quality of the seals plays a particularly important role in this. The versatility of the eurolaser system is ideally suited for cutting out many sealing materials with high accuracy.
Advantages of laser cutting:
- Very high precision and repeat accuracy
- Non-contact cutting means no application of force and therefore no stretching of the material
- Radius-free internal contours possible
- No tools (punches, cutters), therefore no wear
In our example, the sealing material consists of aramid fibres bonded with nitrile butadiene rubber.
Typical applications of this compound:
- Fuels, oils
- Water, steam, gases
- Lubricants, coolants
- Hydrocarbons
- Saline solutions
- Weak organic and inorganic acids
Seals are usually exposed to highly complex demands. Their functionality therefore depends on a number of parameters. Ever increasing environmental and safety consciousness leads to higher and higher demands on sealing capability. It is self evident that an accurate, well fitting blank is a prerequisite for the seal's effectiveness. The CO2 laser provides the ideal solution.
