FAQ

Q What tool selection is needed for different gasket materials?

A Tool selection depends on material thickness and hardness. For harder materials like non-asbestos, PTFE, and graphite-reinforced seals, pneumatic oscillating tools or 400W high-power electric tools are used. For softer gasket materials, high-frequency electric oscillating tools paired with thin blades (0.63mm) achieve faster cutting speeds and optimal edge quality.
Q What are the core components of a CNC gasket cutting machine?

A The main components include: CPU Controller (the brain of the machine that receives and translates commands), oscillating knife cutting tools, machine base, power transmission mechanism, cutting mechanism, drive system, and visual control system for processing setup and optimization.
Q What are the main advantages over traditional cutting methods?

A
CNC gasket cutting machines offer several advantages: greater precision and consistency, elimination of die/mold requirements, capability for complex designs, higher efficiency, reduced material waste, automated operation ensuring consistent quality, and cost-effectiveness for small batch and customized production.
Q How does a CNC gasket cutting machine work?

A The CNC gasket cutting machine uses a high-frequency oscillating cutting tool and computer control system to achieve intelligent cutting. It uses high-speed, oscillating knife blades with vibrating motion to precisely cut through various gasket materials. The CPU controller receives processing graphics from optimization software and translates them into machine commands for precise operations.
Q What materials can a CNC gasket cutting machine cut?

A CNC oscillating knife gasket cutting machines can cut various non-metallic gasket materials including asbestos gaskets, rubber gaskets, non-asbestos plate gaskets, aramid gaskets, cylinder gaskets, cotton rubber sheet gaskets, silicone gaskets, PTFE gaskets, and graphite seal gaskets. They can also cut fabric, leather, cardboard, plastic, paper, rubber, sponge, and foam materials.
